Must admit, I don't even really know why I am trying this program as I new it wouldn't be the best program in the world before I even tried, but as I found the targetting is worse than what I thought and there has been some downtime. Overall this program will work for some sites, but I have it on a product price comparison site and the CTR is much lower than what it should be really for this type of site. Anyway, the problem with AuctionAds is that the customer has much more steps to take when it comes to making you money. They have to clickthru from your sites link, then they have to bid and then they have to keep bidding and then you only get the money once or if they actually win. If they don't then there is a high chance you would have lost that referral. Now without AuctionAds, that referral could have just bought something of my site instead and it would have not been a lost referral then. I'm going to be taking Actionads of my site very soon, well when I get time.
I have now AA for 30 days on my sites. Here are the results. Total 211583 1633 0.77 $32.79 I get more adsense revenue in 30 days then AA but i will keep AA on my sistes because they dont hurt adsense and it is some extra income. I am still looking for the right keywords what convert well. It is going better and have targeted ads. Let see how the next 30 days are going.

Very nice Ruby, my earnings still haven't increased much however I won't see the actual effects of changing the ads keyword target for atleast a few more days, I would figure however that since your earnings were even that great in your first month my earnings will probably Double by next month so if I earn $200 this month then hopefully it'll be $400 or more next month.
I started with auction ads almost 2 days ago and really like it so far. I seem to be getting relevant ads and I actually like how the ads look on my site. So far I have 1559 impressions and 20 clicks but that is good numbers I think for me because I've noticed people don't click too many ads on my site usually. But I am happy, I plan on staying for as long as they run the program. I am having 20 blogs built and plan on having auction ads on all of them as my primary source of income from them. I'll be the first auction ads millionaire!!
Yeah, something like that. It can happen! Here is my business plan: 1. sign up for auction ads 2. place code on site 3. make a million dollars LOL No, but seriously I really do like auction ads. I used to have adsense, but it just seems like they have so many rules. I myself never had a problem and was paid, but I didn't really like how they treated there webmasters. So many people stressing about whether they are going to get banned or not, and people eliminated from program without an explanation. So, this is an excellent alternative and webmaster friendly.

yah.. i thought it was just a bad-day too.. they'll catch up.. somebody forgot to press the update button..
Just a quick mention Tearabite and Ruby, I changed the keywords on my site from targetting Naruto, and made them target "Nintendo Wii, PS3," and other video game related keywords, as expected the number of clicks did fall however the fall wasn't incredible drastic, more in the range of 100-150 clicks. The major problem however is my earnings have since fallen dramatically to just over $3.00 a day. I changed the keywords around June 17th which was last sunday and since doing so I'm seeing these kinds of results, I don't know if I should change them back since as we know it takes time for auction ads to show results but I don't want to wait too long and have it damage my earnings any further. Also I still do use keywords related to my site and anime so its more of a combination. Any idea guys?
Compared to all of you I am not doing that great: Total 299387 4047 1.35 $19.16 almost 300k impressions, over 4000 clicks and only $19.16 (CPC=0.0047$) Still far away from Adsense
With data that you are publishing, You are loosing money. CTR for AuctionAds may be higher than for Adsense, but very close. And even with average CPC=0.10, you are loosing 2x-3x compared to Adsense. My data is even worse: Total 7888 178 2.26 $2.50
I still see no results for that day. I suspect they will become visible tonight or rather sometime tommorrow morning around 1am-2am which is when my earnings usually become visible.
Yes, the 21st has some problems. Thought I would share my stats for part of this month. I love AA. I just wish they would get the bugs out. 06/15 <aggregate> 0 319 0.00% $65.24 06/16 <aggregate> 0 254 0.00% $57.87 06/17 <aggregate> 0 208 0.00% $46.53 06/18 <aggregate> 0 967 0.00% $58.90 06/19 <aggregate> 0 1087 0.00% $34.69 06/20 <aggregate> 0 506 0.00% $13.35 06/21 <aggregate> 0 796 0.00% $0.00 06/22 <aggregate> 0 799 0.00% $3.67 06/23 <aggregate> 0 589 0.00% $53.28 06/24 <aggregate> 0 385 0.00% $0.00 06/25 <aggregate> 0 20 0.00% $0.00 Total 0 11073 0.00 $384.64
