What's your amazing media CTR for this month?

[bob11]

Has your CTR so far this month been above what it usually is? Mine is and i still don't get how they pay im getting 45 cent CPM and they say the base rate is .25/CPM?

Yup, suddenly on February 1st the rate of Amazing Media "actions" is much higher. More than ten times January's rate. In fact, I already have more "actions"/clicks in February than I did in all of January, and we're only on the 5th of the month!

Any possible explanation for this? Did Amazing Media suddenly land a bunch of interesting ad campaigns starting February 1st?

Note: I only have a few main pages on Amazing Media -- the rest of my site has ValueClick banners.

I looked, and all I'm seeing on Amazing Media banners are ads for itself. Nothing new as far as I can tell. So, I'm baffled.

Maybe their system was undercounting actions, and they fixed it. Uhhhh... more likely, it's malfunctioning now, and we'll see much lower "revised" numbers shortly.

My CTR has went way up this month to i have no idea why.

I went searching for amazing media publishers on google, found alot of them and checked out their stats (since their stats are public) to see other's CTR. I found some serving millions of impressions with over 1.5% CTR!!! Impossible!!! I wonder how they do it? Maybe cheating? I'm not here to point fingers so I won't name the websites, but you can find a lot of them on google.

But the thing to do is to compare how they did last month with this month. My Amazing Media CTR in January was 0.23; for February so far it's reported at 2.66. And it wasn't any kind of gradual increase: January 31 was 0.05, February 1 was 1.77. Yesterday, Feb 5th, it was up to 4.49.

I'm still guessing that something got messed up in Amazing's system as of 2/1/2001 -- in other words, these hugely inflated CTR's are not real. And the Feb 5th and 6th numbers suggest that whatever the problem is, it's getting worse.
