    Does anyone work with job search sites programs such as indeed.com
    I recently developed a few scripts that I use on my sites and received my first check. However, sometimes it looks like rate of conversion *ratio of page views and revenue based on clicks/appliactions* is pretty low. Any feedback, suggestions. If you're interested in the script, I may share them with you.
    Example of the script is here (international job search for 10 countries) Occupational Therapy Jobs

    I have no suggestions for you but I am interested in your scripts. I am developing a job search site and your script would work great. I checked out your Website and it looks great and is easy to use.

    Thanks :)

    My indeed click rates are low at times also but I can't really explain why that is. Either way, it's still a great way to monetize your website. :)

    Generally, I have have enjoyed good success with Indeed.com affiliate income, but the eCPM (1000 x earnings/impressions) has recently dropped by about 90% for me.

    The drop is beyond random chance, and an indicator that something is broken.

    The eCPM should be reasonably consistent, because it removes traffic volume fluctuations from any affiliate income analysis. It has been consistent for months and months, and now such a huge drop.


    The following are not actual figures, but are used to illustrate the pattern
    Imagine for 6 months solid that your site is earning on average $20 a day in affiliate income from Indeed (Sometimes as low as $8, sometimes as high as $30). And then suddenly, it is $2 per day. The ePCM is 90% lower than any day in the previous 6 months. (Traffic is still good, nothing changed there )

    There is no transparency on what Indeed pays, so such a huge change is worrisome. I'm hoping it will fix itself, but I'm really puzzled as to what has happened.

    Has anyone else experienced such a dramatic change in income?

    Same thing here and everywhere. Indeed does not explain how it's calculating earnings and why it drops.

    I'm not working with indeed.But certainly looks like a great network.

    Thanks for sharing indeed.

    I discovered that I was missing the following in the head section of my pages -

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.indeed.com/ads/apiresults.js"></script>

    I added this today.


    If this omission was contributing to the randomness of eCPM, then I don't know how it ever worked before.

    Indeed is a decent affiliate program, but it seems to be a little bit of a black art, and some guess work is required.


    I'll track it over the next few days and see if things improve.

    aren't you already using indeed indeed's jobsroll? Are you looking to make some profit from jobs affiliation or just to populate your site with content integrated into your site's structure? or Both?

    I would like to profit and also populate my site's content. I'm using indeed's standard job board but I would like it to look like a job board with more categories. I also think that the layout of your job board looks better.

    My eCPM record low and record high is
    LOW: 4c
    HIGH:$50.60

    (There's not much consistency)

    What sort eCPM range does anyone else get?

    Is that rate with indeed program? If so, then I had similar inconsistent results

    Yes, it is with Indeed.

    Overall, I am very pleased with Indeed. Even though it is inconsistent, it seems to deliver some decent income.
    I target the IT market. There are quite a few jobs in IT and the average IT salary is well above the national average salary, so the Indeed affiliate program works well for me.
