    OK, I just gotta ask how well is your other eBay affiliate working out. On the watch Ebay site in your sig. please post a screen shot of stats and conversion rates. I want to see if it is making any money. People seem to hate ads like that when I put them on any of my sites.

    Be careful using the minprice attribute if you have international traffic. It only works properly in the US.

    When international visitors click on the ad, the keyword(s) and minprice get dumped into the search box on their country eBay site. They get zero search results.

    AA claims the ads still convert but I doubt it. For international traffic, stick to highly targeted single keywords. This assumes, however, that cookies and reporting from eBay are working.

    Before July 9/10, I was getting a trickle from the 2nd tier. That's gone to zero also which is a clear indication that something is very wrong.

    Clearly, Shoemoney ran into scalability issues for which there don't appear to be any quick solutions.

    In the last couple of weeks ever since that downtime, my stats have dropped loads, it's getting really annoying now. I'm getting just as many impressions as before the downtime, but about a third as a many clicks, and hardly any revenue. I hope things get sorted out soon as auctionads has worked well in the past on my sites, but there's only so much time I can dedicate adspace to them with minimal return until I replace it.

    Yea what ever happened to that? I don't mind cause it's making me money (more than any else I have tried), but that was the original reason I signed up. Wasn't it run ads for 10 days and get 5.00? We might have signed up wrong or something o well no mater.

    Is anyone getting anything from referrals? I wish there was a way to track it. Just to see.

    btw, another 3 days straight of nothingness anyone?

    I tend to think those that used url converted links dont have a problem, but the rest that use their banner is having huge reporting issue. Because I use both and only my url converted link channels had made some $ for those days that most ppl don't get anything, and this might fit dwhuff's stat plus everyone elses'

    still not even a dime since july 14th. Since the 8th I made money twice, once with the URL converter, and once with a small banner. This happened just when I put some real effort in spreading AA throughout my website and it's just about my worst month ever (excluding march where I had AA online only halve a month and no effort on targeting or such)

    Still only silence from AA and I'm tyring of looking at "AuctionAds Getting Love" near the top of the blog. They might be getting love, but we aint getting money.

    The last revenue days for me was 7/15 and then 7/21. When I checked today it now shows revenue on 7/16 as well.

    I don't know what's going on, but it sure would be nice if they would use their blog to keep everyone informed.

    Thanks for that heads-up - I checked my stats again and sure enough, there's a nice $11+ revenue on 7/16 that wasn't there a few hours ago.

    Still the same here. :( It's getting depressing.

    And as for shoe, if he has time to update his shoemoney blog, why not the AA blog? It's not as much the sudden downfall in revenue but the keeping us in the dark thats starting to bug me. Even if it was only a "stop bitching, everything is on track, your clickers just ain't buying at the moment" type of message I'd be happy. At least I'd know where I stand and try to do something about it. Now I've got the feeling that all my extra efforts are wasted. I wanted to try some more converted URL's but not until I see money coming back in.

    finally something new, there's like +$40 to my total coming from the 16th to the 22th, and for some reason i see:

    07/26 <aggregate> 21693 123 0.57% $2.76

    that's today, so maybe they are reporting real time or something?

    that's good news, at least they are working on it. But i hate they kept us in the dark.
