Is anyones revenue so far today absolute crap?

Well down over 110% from last week now at 8:30. So yea I would say things are much lower then before.

 

How can you be down over 110%? You're losing money or what?

 

Actually I was throwing off a frustrated number. Actually I am down by 58%, but 110% sounds better and also allows me to owe them now. Which after the last few days numbers almost feels that way.

 

Please note that I emphasized the OPTION to turn off RON ads - again, i realize some people don't mind these. The URL filters don't work because if you filter one, there's always another look-alike to replace it ... and it just a PIA to do this - why make work for the publisher? BTW, a lot of this was hashed out in another DP thread. Heck, I'd just be curious how frequently YPN can't find a match - right now, I have no idea.

Yes, I run Adsense which gives you the ability to specify your own Public Service Ad if no relevent match is found - that URL also documents how you can track how often these show up.

These pop-up less than 1% ... and while I don't look that often, Adsense usually seems to nail the page pretty good for ad relevence that other 99%+ of the time. Yahoo does seem to be getting better and as noted earlier, their customer service seems better ... but I'm not a big-cheese premium publisher or anything.

 

"oh where oh where did my revenue go, oh why oh why did it go down...?"

sing along with my guys

 

Today is a bit better so far, but judgement will be left out on it until noon when I have most of it in.

 

I am happy to say at least with my niches i am back up almost 100%.

 

I hope eveyone is also keeping track of their search engine rankings. The reduction is earnings could easily be due to a reduction in SE traffic.

One of my biggest websites, that has been totally ignored by G00gle (G) for the last year or so (i.e. no rankings), is now ranking in the top 10 for the site's targeted keyword. I think that the latest shift in the G SERP's has affected many sites.

As always, IMO.

Actually strangely enough my traffic and clicks are up. Also the CPM is up from last week, but the payout is lower. As I have said though I will wait and see. This is the time of year that many business sectors slow their advertising amounts down due to constraints on their budgets from fiscal year reporting.

 

I find that in general the summer is the slowest time for most of my sites, and CPC amounts tend to be lower as well during the hot months. For my web projects, both the CPC earnings and traffic are strongest between mid-September and Xmas.

Ummmmmm ... I am NOT seeing data for February 21st - anyone else seeing this? I.e. I'm seeing a current total for today (22nd) and there is data for previous days up to the 20th ... but then nothing listed for the 21st.

 

Give it time it will show

 

Yea this seems to happen quite often in their system. It will show though. Sometimes takes quite a few hours, but will show.

 

yea - over the past couple weeks the stat updates have been like a day behind - but they do get there eventually...Of course now I'm waiting to check my results to see if they went down or not...

 

mine is WAY down today.. 80% down from "regular".. fucking gay, especially sense my traffic is doing alot better.

 

wow its strange how diffrent sites have diffrent levels going on. Maybe its being work on by sectors. I am now at half of what i normal do on a regular day. I am on my way to best day i ever had so far and my stats are up to 8.30am so far. I know i have a few new sites up now, but my cpc payments are back up to par. I will just say i am in the medical field.

 

BTW, still no data from Feb 21st (yesterday) in the reporting area as of "11:45 AM PST" - I'd say this is pretty strange and something broke.

Ads/$$$ are still showing up, but curious what YahooSarah would say about this.

 

today is looking to be 10% of what i normally get.. 3 words come to mind: "What The Fuck"? no data from 21st, no big deal, not much to see anyway..

 

Today so far seems to be my best day so far being with YPN.

 

She would say it is BETA!!! so stop moaning and complaining be happy you are makin any money

I mean it cracks me up everyday someone is posting aobut delayed stats or no yesterday stats or revenue etc.. i mean common guys it is BETA.. there will be issues.. plus ups and downs its part of beta
