Daily Revenue Delay --- Daily Audits

Isn't that was already going on.

[yosaid]

For the last two days our revenue tally is one day behind. Couple of YPN publishers are reporting a heavy (20%) daily audit.

The question is

Wasn't this audit already done? I mean, majority of publishers have a low CTR with YPN and many attributed that to the "international traffic" discount.

Maybe YahooSarah should clarify if this "delay" and the "missing amount" is supposed to be a "glitch" in the system or not.

[wileystudios]

I totally agree. I lost 18% of my revenue on the 21st and all we have heard is everything is OK. Not OK with me.

[jameswross]

I saw a 28% audit on mine... I have no clue whats going on.

I guess all we can do is wait and see about tomorrows stats to make a decision on whats going on...

[wileystudios]

This is were we need YahooSarah to come in and let us know what is going on. Communication is critical when you have people starting to doubt the system.

[mikey158]

Yes I agree. Like the other poster, today is the FIRST time the real time daily value has gone down compared to the following days reported totals.

I really would like to know whats going on here before I make that one single line of code change again ... the trigger is extremely easy to pull .. thanks to well written code I might add.

Peace out ... cmon sarah - whats the dealio :)

[jameswross]

Agreed.

I've never had a daily audit do anything more then a few dollars in terms of the final value.

I HIGHLY doubt those were invalid clicks, if they were, I'm not entitled to them anyway, but I'd like to know what is going on then...

[yosaid]

My earnings today are not that good ...50% down ... and on top of that the 28% audit is waiting ...

We need answers.

What is going on?

[jameswross]

I would find it pretty unlikely that a bunch of us would get such a hugh audit in one day, and it NOT be a glitch...

[sirkei]

Oh yea,

Now you guys mention it, i only noticed why my income on 21 was low. I thought the system was not back up.

So YPN made a payout audit?

[Jesse_Smith]

Rumor has it that that's from Yahoo forgeting to take out there cut of the earnings. Quite a few people got a 23% decrease for February 21 stats.

[wyweb]

Stats for the 22nd are now up.. sob...sob...

[garyr_h]

Yep, still a deduction in earnings.

Oh, and guess what else? It still didn't recover for me. The increased earnings was by one site, which increased a lot, while the other site increased a few cents but is still 50% down from Feb. 13th and before.

[TammyJo]

Yikes! Just checked the stats...WHAT IS GOING ON?

I'm pulling the plug on some recently added YPN pages and replacing my Adsense until this storm ends (hopefully). Want to see if I can recover the day with Adsense.

I LOVED YPN...please don't fail me.

[Lex_Luther]

This isn't looking good. They did a reduction of about 20% on the 21st on earnings. The 22nd my CTR fell to 2% with the same traffic. Usually CTR is 5 to 7%, which is still terrible compared to adsense.

[JollyK]

Stats for the 22nd are now up.. sob...sob...

I'm cryin' there with ya, pal.

Ick.

I wish they'd put a little notice in the "Messages" area that gives a hint of what's going on.

There's a rumor I just started that Yahoo weren't previously taking a cut while the program was in beta and have now begun doing so.

Probably they saw what a huge PR success post-earnings adjustments have been for Chitika, and decided to implement it this way.
