Yahoo Stats Delay Hits Domain Parking Firms

Yahoo Stats Delay Hits Domain Parking Firms

Delay in revenue stats hits major domain name parking firms.

A domain name parking stats delay from Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) has hit a number of domain name parking firms, preventing them from providing final parking stats to clients for the past few days. Yahoo is one of the biggest domain name advertising feed providers.

The outage appears to have started late the prior week when parking firms started to notify clients of stats delays (or simply not update stats). The stats delays are affecting all major Yahoo partners, counting Parked.com, TrafficZ, HotKeys, and NameMedia (SmartName, Active Audience, and Goldkey).

The problem is being resolved, and it appears that stats are starting to be processed through Saturday, February 14. Stats at Parked.com and HotKeys are updated to February 13 as of the time of posting.

Google Adsense clients faced some delays over the weekend, as stats were delayed starting 4 a.m. PST on Sunday. Those issues do not appear to have affected Google’s (NASDAQ: GOOG) domain name parking channel.

Domain name parkers have become accustomed to stats being finalized within a day, but it was only recently that major parking firms such as Parked.com were able to provide this data quickly. Delays from smaller parking ad feed providers are common, but it is rare for such a prolonged delay from a major provider.
