My ads are yet again untargeted too. It happened a week or so ago, then rectified itself. But it's bloody annoying when it happens again and again. I can see it directly in my stats when it happens - clicks are 25% untargeted what they are targeted.
Same here. Odd that it goes down across the board for chunks of time - maybe when they are messing with the code?
That would not be good.... a service like Auctionads should not be messing with their production code but have a development environment for their development and testing.
I"m sure they have an integrated test enviroment, I speculate more that the issue might be caused by some kind of system update, the fact that it generally occurs in the evening and to everyone using the ads (from what we've seen) believe that this will be resolved eventually. Maybe shoe can shine some light on this at some point.
AuctionAds appears to be down. One hopes it is because of an upgrade in progress. A status page would be helpful.
I think I am gonna start ramping up AA on some other sites... I've made no changes since starting with AA, and saw a $31 day last week. Not bad for having the ads on ones site.
Yeah, those stupid ads for purses and ipod accessories showing up on my medical blog look horrible. I'm taking them off. Best to relegate them to second string sites, places where those junk ads don't hurt the image of the website so much, maybe on entertainment niche sites.
we had a bit of downtime this morning- http://www.auctionads.com/blog/auctionads-outage-fully-restored/
That's because I was getting them all....on my sports site I think you've got to expect a few teething problems with any new venture. I'm sure that they'll all be sorted over the next few months. This is what you get from being guinea pigs...I mean early adopters
Yeah, being the early birds on this, lots of teething problems. Still getting unrelated ads on my sites. But will keep them up in hopes that one day soon, related ads only will be there.
Im curious to see what kind of clicks per day everyone is getting. At the moment I am getting around 200 clicks per day with about a 0.60% CTR. I am really looking forward to the next month to see if the earnings increase further.
I'm having a problem with ads becoming untargeted on sites where I have multiple keywords separated by a semicolon. This happens, for example, on SeniorCenters.com and Psychology.info but not on ParkQuick.com - where I have "domain names" as the only keyword. Targeting returns within a few minutes if I keep refreshing the site, but if I go away and come back later I either have Coach handbags or Wii accessories.
parkquick, are those low traffic sites? If you read back in the thread you'll see your query has been answered. Basically the cache needs refreshing every 5-10 minutes - so if you don't have any visitors in that time, the ads revert to the "hot sellers" on ebay. ruby - on my Wolfmother fan site (www.wolfmother.net) I get about 3% CTR as the ads are very relevant to the niche. My total for that site, April + May is: Impressions Clicks CTR Revenue Total 36041 1008 2.80 $52.46
This might be a stupid question, but do you put payment on hold incase someone has no PayPal account? I am running the program now, but dont have a paypal account anymore. Is it possible that payment is put on hold, maybe until ohter payment options become available? I want to test it and dont care if i get paid in 2 years.
