I also noticed that today that many of my visits didnt credit the ptp owner at all.
I haven't clicked anything today so it cant be that i already visited those pages.

My second notice is that the valids have decreased tremendously, making the earning of credits real slow.

Anyone else noticed this ?

Well, if you visited them yesterday, and it hasn't been 24h, you still wouldn't credit them.

My valids seem fairly consistent, unless you mean a drop from a fairly long time ago, in which I have no data for.

my valids seem to be alright for this month. not sure when tier 2 went to 0.6, or if it was ever anything higher, but since it's only the country of Austria I wouldn't think the impact would be that large if there was a change. just glad Sebas is not one of the po's who thinks Canada is tier 2 and the UK tier 3

Didn't it use to be 0.8 for tier 2.

And since its 24h unique hits i wouldn't been able to click them again until 24h later, would i.

And the drop seem to be from about two three weeks ago.

if you are calculating the drop by how much advertising you had out and how much you've earned at donkey I would say it's likely the ongoing server issues. I'm lucky if I have time to check my stats at donkey lol so I almost never look at ads versus earnings but I know plenty of the clicks my ptp has received over the past month or two have been wasted because the site was down

Why do you say Tier 2 is only Austria ?

I am in Belgium, am Tier2 at Donkey, have always been and have always given 0.6 credit when visiting other people's PTP

Pssst Astrangemix, Austria is the only Tier2 starting with A, go look for B and followings

bah, bite me

they shouldn't make it so difficult to find what you're looking for yes, you are correct I was only looking at the As. it would appear there are 16 countries in tier 2 so that would have made more of a financial impact if the tier value had dropped

Would the server issue explain the huge amount of defaults or invalids?

It goes up and down, i know, but this is for a longer period, a week or two.
And i got the same advertiser so that cant explain it all, i mean more or less people click.
And its the valids that are lower.

Sophieca, are you sure the werent 0.8 before ?
Maybe i had a stroke or something but i could have sworn they where 0.8 before. :

Hi,

I do think too it's a server issue and yes ilanner, for as long as I can remember, I have given 0.6 credits, never saw 0.8 am afraid ....

Sophie

just FYI, to compare donkeymails with other PTPs:



there are some with 0.8 credits on tier 2 with even higher rates!

when the server is completely down, No. if the site is down nothing registers.

however, if memory serves there was a lot of "page not loading" going on at donkey last month.

is your bad traffic coming from everywhere or just 1 place? if just 1 place something could be hinky on their end, if everywhere my best guess would be visitors refreshing your ptp page. I can't be the only clicker that will take the time to refresh someone's ptp if it didn't load correctly and I feel they weren't credited. with donkey I quit doing that last month because it seemed everytime I did manage to get the page to load it wasn't valid. I could very easily imagine a fair # of people trying to get you a valid credit by refreshing but sometimes (and last month at donkey neverending lol) ptp pages don't load for us visually but do load (credit) for the script at the program

For an example:
From CashDelight

Credits Default 20 19 95.00% 0.95 credit(s)
Tier 1 22 20 90.91% 20 credit(s)
Tier 2 14 13 92.86% 7.8 credit(s)
Tier 3 13 13 100.00% 5.2 credit(s)
Tier 4 40 37 92.50% 5.55 credit(s)
UK 7 6 85.71% 6 credit(s)
Canada 6 4 66.67% 4 credit(s)
aus 1 1 100.00% 1 credit(s)
Total: 123 113 91.87% 50.5 credit(s)

These are good stats but they have been somewhat better, like 123 hits 60-70 valids.

That day looked like this:
04/06 179 164 15 91.62% 75 Credits


I'm not saying that its really, really bad but 20-30 credits is missing every day and thats a lot on a week.

And i was so sure that the Tier 2 was 0.8. Lol. My bad !!
