I know there are others that have seen this in the last few weeks.

Higher CTR on content and SUPER LOW converstion rates.... Like 1/8th of what they have been for the last two years.

Please Google I hope you are listening......

Content was working great till you did whatever you did the last few weeks.....

Maybe you are just getting more traffic from lame content sites lately? We track conversions for each individual content network site and just block all the ones that don't send quality traffic - so our ROI is always whatever we want it to be. If you do this you can literally pick any ROI you want because you can just block any site that doesn't get at least an X% conversion rate, etc.

If you ask me the only way to profit from the content network is to take control. You can't remain at the mercy of Google and the changes they may or may not make. I don't even notice this type of stuff. Who has time? The system I use actually excludes content sites automatically if they don't get at least a certain conversion rate ...

Pls stick me with the link to this system. Or it is your own tracking system?

I totaly agree with you.... in fact someone on this board let me try a system they developed (I'm not sure if that is the one you are talking about)...but unfortunatly it was only catching about 25% of the traffic we were actualy getting .......

I even compared my logs vs what this app was catching.....

I would love to learn of your system - or of another good system that could track the content network as well.

Is there any way to send the content traffic to another tracking URL? How do you block certain URLs for content if they are not converting well?
