Has anyone else's EPC plummeted?

[Lord Antares]

This month, the same traffic from the same sources brings me a lot less RPC (on bodis).

I'm talking from $0.5 to $0.2. Some are even worse. There's one high traffic but low epc which went from like $0.09 a click to $0.01.

Some keywords get absurdly low earnings, like a "chiropractor" click gets less than $0.1, "medical care" earns similarly.

Even an attorney domain which got me up to $3 per click last month plummeted to $0.39.

What is going on? Is anyone else experiencing this?

@TjWarrior ,
your logic is sound but, unfortunately, parking doesn't work like that.

Parking has a steady trend downwards, at least since I started ~10 years ago.
Basically,
every year it drops a bit and then it gets up roughly half of what it dropped, next year the same, etc.

This year however the drop was unprecedented with RPM reaching lows never seen before.

Only thing we can do is wait and see what happens (at least that we can agree on)

 

[TjWarrior]

I know that, and maybe I'm fooling myself
Because what I wanted the most was to see growth in our industry
I make good money every month, I just hope that parking doesn't die anytime soon (Like is being said for a few years now)

it will die but a very slow gradual death. the trend of this is already here like others mentioned.. and it kinda started recently.. a year or so ago

yes but u friend and all other plz do not confuse parking and selling to think the two are separate or somehow magickally mutually exclusive is a grave error. for no statement in the universe is almost more false than to claim by parking we miss sale. or one sale can make up years of parking. for your own good know this.

People have been saying that parking would die for well over a decade and this is far from the truth. It is evolving, you just have to change up what you are doing if it’s not working. I’ve personally been profitable and just had a record breaking month. I’ve made way more money parking than I have selling.

ps ..speaking of markets ... is np still place where u can catch revenue name deals or people ask too much or just nothing really shows up?

 

[psalm91]

It’s honestly been a while since I looked on np for purchases. There may be some really good deals.

 

[keim123]

This mounth next drop.

 

[alcy]

I'm up like 10 to 20usd on the month but still under 100 and 50 to 70 less.than past years... small money I know but percentage wise its huge drops...

i'm pretty aggressive on prices (in down) and traffic names bought here during last 2 years, rarely had been profitable

u mean u bought and mostly lost? I thought at first by aggressive prices u meant u ask for a lot when u sell here and thus rarely sell and thus selling here is not profitable for u

 

[pablohc86]

sorry but i'm not fully understanding what you mean.

Aggressive because i ask for big discounts from the seller.
I'm asking discounts because I believe that I can't make any profit if I buy at their price.
Many time i got nice discounts but i wasn't able to make a profit too...
There are cases where I got profit but those profits doesn't cover the lost money.

I see many auctions of traffic names here and many people buying but i believe most of the people are just wasting their money. It's my opinion btw...

Off topic

Does it concern anyone when you use a third party parking service (Bodis, Parking Crew, ect.) you're circumventing your WHOIS privacy by acknowledging you own these domains?

I'd say it doesnt because millions do it

 

[alcy]

[pablohc86]

No signs of pick up

Also, we are $5000 lower than last year.

 

[keim123]

EPC 0.14 last year 0.25 RPM 36$ last year 52$. Use only bodis but will probably be a decrease in parkingcrew too. Does anyone park here with parkingcrew ?

I have exactly the same EPC decrease on Bodis.

No benefit switching to PC, Sedo or SmartName.
Some small differences on Parklogic or Above but nothing relevant.

Reg fee? 99% of names earn nothing and overall profit will soon hit 0
Simply left a couple names on Bodis and don't really care. Might be the upcoming WW3..

 

[pablohc86]

Also, we are $5000 lower than last year.

i'm like 60% less revenues than Oct 2022.. more or less the same portfolio.

i was used to get clicks by more than 10$ each for USA Mortgage traffic and sometimes they were peanuts.
This year just peanuts click for this traffic..
I believe with the new war starting we would go even worse.

Hi Keim123
If you are down 5k, how much do you make per year?
25/30k?

there are prolly 200k people worldwide who make 3fig per month in parking. maybe 80k who make 4fig per month... maybe 10k who make 5fig per month...and like 1k who make 6fig per month... just some educated guesses... I'm gonna venture to say nobody make 7fig per month in parking today

 

[alcy]

hey u guys I just had this brainstorm question.. I'm sure some know answer.. so we all know pc..bodis...ans couple more... but worldwide...Russia india or.whatever are there also other park companies we never heard of... but are big in their country or region... or only accept local people...have their sites in local language only etc.... or really what we know bodis etc is all there is in world for parking? just a curiousity
