Revenue went down the drain when the month switched, literally cut in half?

can't say I've seen the same today overall, but theres a lot more spread with keywords now and I wonder if theres some kind of quality metric at play at the underlying se that is causing downward pressure on keywords in some keyword areas.

In a word yes but that's not all that's affecting ppc. It's a much more dynamic system now. In the past certain keywords served as old standbys that paid out a reliable ammount for every click. The new system is a lot more closely tied to the actual bidding for the keywords. There's much more variation in ppc prices. Quality is definitely taken into account. High quality traffic is paid much more and you should see that.

I am switching 3500 domains away from sedo today. I am currently losing money at sedo. This is ridiculous.
Arrogance has brought down larger companies than sedo.
In a few months sedo will be history.

hmmm... that explains a lot !

in other words : " wolfis you got the worst traffic in the world - please move your names as we do no longer pay anything for it "

Don't feel bad, I think they are sending me a bill this month rather than sending me a check.

I'm having a bad day also at Sedo today.

Although traffic is normal, my CTR is much higher, but both my EPC and and RPM are down dramatically.

Can you check this Jay?

Jay made it happen!

Assuming sedo aren't being paid less for your traffic from the underlying se.

I have to pay them to park my names with them now.

Well my earnings are down almost 50% in a couple of months.
Do you think sedo was losing money before that?

Compared to my best month March my earnings are approximately 40% down.

mine are down 70% accross the board. Ive brought it to Jays attention, and nothing has been done. so I would rathe rpiss away my traffic with someone else than give to them.

Do you mean they're down 50% on a couple of months ago, or do you mean you've had a steady decline over a couple of months?

I've seen a 45% rise in my earnings since the change,

Thanks Sedo.

25% of the decline was Monday last week to Monday this week. The other 25% dropped in a similar and abrupt way.
