last 2 wks sedo

[charlie]

Has anyone else had a dramatic drop in revenues in the last 2wks on Sedo parking?

I'm looking at my statistics now and my views have been constant over the last 2/3 months, if anything I have had an increase since new domains added.

But the avg number of clicks has hs dropped in the last month from avg 20 a day to about 10. and of course revenue has dropped accordingly.

I can’t for the life of me think why this would happen? Has Sedo tightened what it calls clicks from non quality sources? All I can imagine is that they have restricted the possibilities of click sources?

Do they refund the companies who pay for the advertiser or google??

Apparently this sudden drop is across a lot of PPC systems and is related to adsense. I hope it recovers - with no sales the sedo income has to cover my overheads - suddenly my planned break even point has moved years ahead!

I have seen a drop too, half on some domains -

begining of a new month with sedo which normally means a new round of possible income - PPC seem to be a lot higher at the begining.

What i was wondering - its now october but my sedo control panel is still reading september - anyone else got this?

Its seems they have been having real problems at sedo for the last month??

I was getting messages all day yesterday saying their server was down for maintenance.

Mine says "revenue in October.." but is actually showing Sept figures.

Strange - had one of my better days recently (nothing compared to last month)

Obviously the maintenance is urgently needed work and not sorted all the problems out yet.

worst day so far $0.26 when it used to be $5+ for less views?
