Record parking day

[mj]

I had the best day ever in terms of traffic and clicks, not sure about the revenue yet.

Leading the pack in terms of traffic, in this order:

turkish
finnish
russian


Anybody else have a good parking day yesterday?

my namedrive acct. had record revenue day yesterday, views and clicks where higher but not a record.

I smashed my record again yesterday for the number of clicks in a day, but not for traffic.

Several of my high-traffic domains are now getting between 80-90% CTR, up from 40-60% CTR a few weeks ago. I assume this signifies that the advertising competition is picking up for those terms, and that those parked pages now contain fewer irrelevant ads.

record day yesterday in terms number of clicks 450, my best before that was 399 two days ago, so it was a 13% increase

Nah, probably just a click Bot.

My Russian went crazy yesterday. Totally new territory beyond what was already new territory.

Somebody should do something about it. What right have these people to keep clicking on my adverts and paying me money? Somebody should stop it!

They will, if Chrome takes hold in Russia.

You should take more excercise. It can be very effective against paranoia.

I hope you're right.

Microsoft was a success story in the 1990's because it gave people what they wanted.

It failed in the new millenium because MS did not deliver what people wanted.

Google has succeeded during this period because they have given what people are looking for.

If Google follows the MS example it will eventually fail for the same reasons, and eventually become irrelevant as Microsoft is about to.

It would seem that Google understands this, which is why it is succeeding. Of course it is also a US company, so chosing failure maybe somewhat intuitive.

Anyway, for today the focus is Lehman's, next week it will probably be Merryl Lynch, and the month after it is AIG. By Christmas, it will be the turn of GM and Ford's turn to stare into oblivion. I cannot see Microsoft on the ropes this year. The queue of emerging corporate failure is simply too long for anyone to pay them much attention.

My Russian also went crazy yesterday. It was a new record for traffic and clicks in a single day (for the entire portfolio, not just Russian). Actually, I think there is still 15 minutes to go...

In terms of traffic and clicks, Russian has now moved into second position:

Turkish
Russian
Finnish


But Finnish still earns more per day than Turkish and Russian combined.

I wouldn't be surprised if Russian overtakes Turkish in the next month or two.
