Dont look now but i think AuctionAds is back on track.

has anyone else noticed that they have been making more money this month? last month was a complete joke and im sure TLA knows that. i have seen a nice improvement in AA so far in august. im on track for my best month yet.

hows august for everyone else?

 

I didn't know about AuctionAds I just did a little research about it, it looks very tempting, I guess I will try it.

 

This is my worst month so far. Start of the month was good but for the last 10 days I've been showing 10% of the clicks I'd normally get

 

Yer my clicks are down to about 10% of what they should be as well....

 

Reporting has been better the last couple of days, but click-thru is about 10% of what it was in June and about 35% of what it was in July.

Revenue is down to about 30% of June and 50% of July.

So while it hasn't gone completely down the toilet, it is still a disappointment.

 

interesting as my AA is going to have an unreal month so far in august. its going to be the best month since the first month i used the service.

 

i removed AA a week or two ago because it was down too often, stats were broke, etc,etc.. i put it back on a few days ago and so far it's showing me 2 clicks for over 21,000 impressions - normally for this many impressions i would have hundreds of clicks..
i'm going to let it go for another day or two, but i'm still under-impressed with the last month or two..
When i first started using AA i was blown away.. but now........

 

I've been on the AA site this morning testing out ad keywords. I can't get results from half of them, even when I can go to ebay and confirm that hundreds of auctions for those items exist.

AA is still a thumbs down, and in my book,not organized or consistent enough to sacrifice Adsense clicks towards.

We've got a long way to go to get back to where we were 3 months ago. For now, the consensus seems to be that almost anything else monetizes at least equal if not significantly better.

 

thats interesting what you said about the keywords. i am using apple ipod and im getting some good results.

 

That's funny because Apple iPod and Nintendo Wii are usually the default ads when relevancy is on the fritz. Funny because you might not even notice that your ads are not pulling correctly unless you used the minprice or maxprice modifiers and noticed incorrectly priced results.

The AA problems are not a figment of a couple folks imaginations.

 

i am using the minprice and all my ads are correct for now anyways.

 

AuctionAds is displaying ads for Coach purses on my iPhone site right now.

This is not the first time I have a problem like this.

 

And the irony is that I want to display ads for coach purses and get ads for iPods. It's almost like a candid camera joke.

 

well then, i guess AA isnt back on track yet then.

 

they said they are resolving the cache issue (the cache problem is what makes irrelevant ads appear sometimes). If they fix that, AA will improve a lot.
I don't really know what to think, sometimes AA is good, sometimes not so good. I would like to continue to use AA, but it's not easy at all, specially with the irrelevant ads problem. Would that be fixed in the next weeks? That's something i really would like to know, but i don't find answers from AA.

 

i wonder when they are going to start updating their blog again.

 

Its getting there.

Ive said this a few times. It takes time. MediaWHiz has only had AuctionAds for a short period of time, and they are working on improving it every day. Ive noticed an improvement in the last few days.

 

the blog was also updated lol

 

Yeah, with more "success" stories and tips for optimization. Do they have any credibility left when the same old issues continue day after day and all they post about is success stories? Maybe the tactic is to keep suckering in newbies who don't read forums. Keep pumping up membership until they dump the company.

 

August has been way down for me. I am also still waiting on payment from June earnings and a reply to my email about that issue. I really want Auction Ads to work but how long do I wait?
