[tobsn]

alpha opened at NaggerAds.com Blog

I did over $1,000 in the first month with Auctionads, $450 in the second month, $84 in the third & I'm sitting nicely on $8.50 this month.

Apparrently according to Auctionads:

"My users are getting ad blind"

uhm...I've made $0.64 in two months with auctionads, with roughly 62000 impressions....
it's not that bad, isn't it? :Yahoo_29:

Haha, I know how you feel! Except I didn't waste that much time with AA taking up my space :bigear:

Just applied to the alpha, here's my auction ads stats since 8/26

Total 74070 impressions 514 clicks 0.69 ctr $0.97 earnings

I made $52 the first 30 days, $0.97 the next.

So was shoe paying with money out of his pocket to keep the new user joins coming and to retain sites just to pump up the numbers for the sale?

God damn tribal fusion keeps rejecting my applications. I feel dirty not throwing some ads up.

Well it all went to shit after that drug out tracking issue way back when.

Anyway...I finally pulled it off the last site I had it running on a couple of weeks ago and a day after that I made $000.05...that's after nothing for a long time.

So..anyone have comnparisons to Naggerads yet?

::emp::

did someone notice if the day earnings stopped more or less matches the date auctionads was sold to TLA?
anyway, that's exactly the point, he sold it and made bank out of it, despite almost nobody is earning with auctionads

FREAKING YES! When I first signed up and slapped it on one of my sites it started slow but actually ramped up pretty nicely, but then it all went to crap: CPM, CTR, CPC... all of it.

I took the time to compile some numbers:

June
Impressions: 58,070
Clicks: 1160
CTR: 2.0%
eCPM: $1.63
EPC: $0.058
Keyword Links EPC: $0.05

July
Impressions: 122,439
Clicks: 1536
CTR: 1.25%
eCPM: $0.43
EPC: $0.034
Keyword Links EPC: $0.01

August
Impressions: 48,976
Clicks: 420
CTR: 0.86%
eCPM: $0.90
EPC: $0.105
Keyword Links EPC: $0.01

September (to date)
Impressions: 25,976
Clicks: 121
CTR: 0.47%
eCPM: $0.07 (!!!)
EPC: $0.015
Keyword Links EPC: $0.003 (!!)

If anyone has a blog where they want to post the above numbers to warn people off from how badly AA sucks now, be my guest. I sent those to John Chow and shockingly he didn't do a write up about it. :rasta:

I've all but removed it from my sites.

I think the reason people are reporting less income from AuctionAds is due to their lowering of commission and payouts. They never officially said it on their site or confirmed it with any online medium but their rates were dropped. ACRU used to be $24.50 per new user. It's now below $15. I don't even know how low commission went but it certainly decreased as well. I used to make good money with it like a lot of people. However, I am not going to stick around and wait for AuctionAds to take a share of my money when I can go right over to CJ and make more.
