AuctionAds Update #3 - bored now.
It’s gone down the pan really… partly due to their reporting issues, and partly due to the novelty wearing off. As with most things, when you have regular visitors to your site, your users will eventually start to become blind to things that are always there, hence the whole rotating Adsense colours theory. AuctionAds performed brilliantly for me over the few few months, most likely due to people seeing them and thinking…
“Hey what’s that? A picture and a price for something? I’ve not seen that before.”
Click.
Then the magic of eBay’s user base of millions kicks in, and the 30 day cookie earns you a couple of quid.
Then, when the novelty of something different appearing on your site wears off, the CTR dives, no more money, Shoemoney cashes in in a stroke of genius, and AuctionAds goes down the pan good and proper.
More and more shopping ad alternatives keep appearing now, which I’ll write about in a sec in separate posts so that Mr Googlebot will index more of my content - and of course for ease of navigation for you, the user.
But anyway, to sum up this post…
AuctionAds - bored now.
