Lack of Ads on Namedrive

[thefabfive]

Anyone else seeing keywords that once used to generate quite a few ads now do not? I've been trying to track down a significant decrease in revenue from Russian domains in the last month. Traffic is up, but revenue is down - significantly. I think I've traced it to domains that used to have greater than 30% CTR now are near zero. The keywords used for these domain no longer trigger any ads - common keywords like "massage" and "porno" just to name a couple. Highest concentration seems to be among adult keywords.

I sent ND an email but haven't heard back yet. Would be nice to know if a fundamental shift in ad inventory has taken place.

Last three weeks have been absolutely horrendous for me. Some investigation showed some domains used to rank for a term on Google and no longer rank (a LOT less traffic) and extreme lack of advertisers.

Really, really frustrated. Hopefully things clear up...

I'm not seeing a decrease in traffic (actually seeing increases in Russian), but reduced CTR.

Maybe time to think about alternatives.

Also have seen increased traffic and lower CTR at namedrive in the last 3-4 weeks

Not just namedrive , it is general.

Hmm. Most of the portfolio is Japanese. Things there are humming right along - traffic is up and CTR is in the usual range. Last month and this month should be some of the best this year on Namedrive.

Summertime blues. At least for the western world.

I experiences the same with ND for some of my domains which I moved to Sedo where there is more advertisers, try to do so and choose the new auto-select layout it showed me a good increase in CTR along with traffic and rev as well
for me, and for the last 4 months even with IDNs, ND is a big S U C K while Sedo is good!
