Is it just me, or is AuctionAds on the downward spiral at the moment? Earlier this month AuctionAds went out on the front foot, hailing the changes to their system as good news for publishers. There were the higher affiliate rates (which are always welcome) as well as the new Web 2.0 spring clean, which saw the introduction of a new ad format, designed to increase click through. That was roughly a month ago.
September has seen my worst month with AuctionAds since I signed onto the program. Nearly 25,000 impressions and only 11 clicks! Those are statistics of BlogRush proportions!
What has gone wrong? At one stage AuctionAds looked like a viable alternative to Adsense, particularly on my music blog.
I've also seen problems whereby no AuctionAds were being served at all, now that would explain the craptacular click through rate!
Has anyone else out there experienced a similar slump? Hopefully things pick up again soon... hopefully...
