the sales have dropped TREMENDOUSLY ever since the 16th...ecpc has gone down by about 30%. i am new to this...so what gives? does the market just tend to do this once in a while?
I agree, mine has dropped by 70% at least. Maybe there is a bug with tracking or something but this doesn't seem normal.
you didn't quote me...but yes i have 2.0. i saw in another thread that people are having issues with it.
I have heard of issues but thought everyone was crazy... but I'm not so sure now. Our revenue has dropped 50% the last 2-3 days now... and that's about how long we've been on the new 2.0
People remember ringontes vary DAILY!! but u have to realize it doesnt just rely on azoogle tracking but the cell netowrks etc. so if they have issues then you have less converts etc.. I am in 2.0 but havent switched my links yet. but had one rocking day then a decline but things are back to normal... But again ringtones are never consistent 100% of the time. if you are concerned contact your rep. but also try another network offer. Maxbounty has mobile sidewalk and pays 13.90 some people change saw increase in converts while other saw no difference from it and AZ offers... so it varies by site and promotion also.
this has nothing to do with variances in the market. that's the same line my rep fed me. I saw a very large significant drop in ringtone conversions overnight which has lasted for the past 4 days. it started on the 15th when i was told that a certain ringtone offer was going to be redirected an i should change my links. it looks like things may be picking up today, but it's still to early to tell.
*LOL* if you dont think there are variences in the ringtone market you are in for a big wake... now should NOT there be 70% VARIANCE but there can be variences of 10 to 30% on any given day. (BTW i am a publisher... i am just posting my experiences as this doesnt just occur with Azoogle it also occurs with other CPA networks.)
I have also seen a general slowing trend in the last few days and I am with xy7. So im sure its not az2.0. But never fear this market is up and down day to day... the people I have been talking to seem to think the mobile carriers have been having text message difficulties or somthing... we'll see - E
Check your traffic levels carefully and make a graph corellating traffic to your landing page with conversions/revenue for the offer. I find this the easiest way to tell if what the trend is doing. If the two lines are rougly the same shape everything is normal. If you have divergent lines, it might suggest a tracking problem. Since I switched to 2.0 thursday I have seen no drop in conversions.
I never said there weren't variances in the market. Sure, my conversion rates have always swung as much as 40% on some days, but an 80% drop in revenue and conversions is not due to variance. I have enough data and experience to know better. just checked my numbers again and looks like another horrible day. that'll make 5 in row, that's not a variance, that's a consistent disaster.
I agree, especially this drastic of a change with the exact same traffic sources. Its not like anything has changed.
I agree! If you have had this issue for 5 days try some other networks ringtone pages see if the conversions stay down.... I wouldn't have let it go five days, i would be tryign other networks, not that i wouldn't come back to Azoogle after they fix the issue (if it is their issue) but you never know ....
pcarlow, I know you might not want to say, but if you don't care, what offer are you seeing the collapse with?
I would definitely check out offers from other networks. I had a very similar experience and the only solution I found to work was changing offers and networks. I like to be loyal to networks, but sometimes you got to do what you got to do.
For anyone still running, I am seeing a stabilization of numbers. Whether it was AZ or just the SMS providers who knows, but things are looking back on track.
