AuctionAds down?

    I noticed that my site is hanging this afternoon - gets as far as the point where it loads AA and sticks for minutes.

    I notice the site is down too.

    My site and forums are currently unusable, so I am thinking I might have to remove AA from both. Any reasons for this? Is it likely to be a regular occurance?

    Same here. I've put them in an iframe to prevent pages slowing down

    Looks like major global attacks. DP is also flip flopping today. Google had it a couple of days ago. Adsense's about the same as AA

    The iframe idea is a terrific one no matter whose ads are being used. I'm going to add it. Thanks.

    Damn! Made my whole site lag for about 2 hours. The iframe idea is good.

    Though I made like $xx with google in the past 3 hours, and still didnt see a single penny in my account =(

    I noticed it was down around the same time DP was.

    PPA is like that daz. You need to let it roll and wait. These type of ads like auctionads is, will take time to convert. But yes, if your site don't have big traffic and your niche is not a niche like "buy stuff in my niche", then, oh yes, adsense (PPC) is for sure much better.

    Jonix, I've been working with CPC, CPM, and CPA for quite a while now, and have used the ebay direct affiliation before.
    Before risking it on any higher traffic sites, I used it on a smaller one I own. Its targeted perfectly for world of warcraft games and gamers. . Again, I Was just disappointed. Maybe it'll change.

    Daz give it time. But it's like i said, it depends on the niche, has you know, CPA is very difficult for small sites, even if the niche is the type "buy niche".
    Unfortunally big traffic is allways the key.

    It's best to put things like this in iframes, because if they are down, yeah they are loosing money and affiliates alone the way, but at the end of it you are also loosing your income from AuctionAds, but not only that, you are also debranding your sites good image alone the way when things start going down or taking ages to load.

    Our new cluster upgrade is complete. Hopefully this will never happen again.
