exoclick 20% less counted traffic, anyone?

[CrazyMartin]

I noticed that 2 days ago they started to count about 20% less than before

and also niftystats stopped working with exoclick

anyone have similar experience?

[MatureKing]

They had a problem yesterday with panel. I lost a piece of revenue.

Yes huge chuck of traffic for around 3 hours has been missing, that 3 hour period was our peak traffic time. They should atleast tell their publishers in advance. Not good from such a well known company

[MatureKing]

Yeah, I want my fucking money back, too much missings for me

[geirlur]

They've upgraded their admin. All my ads was down when they did this
When similar thing happened at Plugrush they (over)paid me for the downtime, hopefully exoclick will do the same.......

Guys problem is in stats i believe... You need to check your stats hourly basis and you will see that numbers are different... compare to over all monthly stats.. Can some one from Exo please address this issue....

as far as i know their US datacenter went down.
I don´t know why but maybe they have the same problem as nearly all adult adnetworks have since aproximately 2 month: horrible DDos attacks !

[MatureKing]

Sidenote:

I have helped out two adnetworks lately, and they both claimed (and honestly thought) it was DDoS attacks, but it turned out it was a scaling/thread problem. One solved with https://www.datadoghq.com/ one solved with a free https://www.splunk.com trial instance.

I'm all for decoupling - one of the best ideas to keep in mind - but so many companies fail when the different departments need to work together. Just like in the old days where Operations would say "its a network issue" and Networking would say "its a Application issue"

in this special case it is not a scaling problem.

those are definitely well orchestrated DDos attacks of the newest generation.

believe me i know what i am talking about as we had this problem too.

you will not even mention these attacks on the servers as they are going to the network layers.

bro, once you logged into admin, don't look at the dashboard today's income... Go to stats and check today's stats and see.. There is a big difference of income in dashboard and in today stats.. you can compare the impression with hourly stats and there is big difference as well... Some thing is wrong in their system and hope they will fix it.

I know - Just saying I have seen a lot of companies pull the "DDoS attacks" card, like they used "rogue employee" years ago

that´s true and not only on the company end.
there are so many webmasters that think they can handle such a case.

we live in the era where you need for every little puzzle piece a specialist.
the time for "swiss pocket knife-people" is definitely gone.

Nice, i was looking for such solution ever since i stopped using WHM, which had a plugin which would show exactly what file would cause load spike and at what time.

it is good when you know a bit of everything - but you can never be high professional in everything. this is the problem why many of the old dinosaurs that have been kicked out because they tried to fight against teams where each one knows his part perfectly.

I think that there are not many people in this biz who know the biz from so many perspectives as I do - but I would never try do things that are not part of my main competence.

When I met the new General Manager of AWS Switzerland last week, she quoted an old african sayin; “If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” - and I'm glad that is how successful people think today.

You should always unload the undifferentiated heavy lifting. Dont care if its a regular MSP or AWS, Azure, IBM cloud, Google, Oracle or Alibaba.. just never do it yourself

Problem yesterday %20 lost :/

[itx]

The downtime was caused by a failure in one of their main datacenters.

You people still noticing less count in traffic by exo? did every thing back to normal or not please?

[CrazyMartin]

[247mg]

Seems some thing is still not right with their system.. Old system is showing some thing else and new is some thing else.
