Wow right now before leaving work I saw that the US Dollar has dropped again compared to the yen. This has it’s Pros & Cons. For me & my American coworkers it means our salary has increased by 30% if we transfer our funds back into dollars.
$1 is currently close to 80 yen & might be dipping lower soon.
This also becomes a problem when I receive offers in dollar that I think are good amounts in dollars, but the value compared to Yen, the currency associated with my portfolio & where I live doesn’t add up.
If you are lucky enough to partner with someone doing affiliate for example the exchange rate makes it much better. Even though it takes a bit longer to get paid from Amazon, & Value commerce affiliates I’m glad I started to concentrate on that area. Adsense in dollars wasn’t performing as well.
But theoretically your clicks should get a higher CPC because if transferred to dollar the rate is higher. Whether between Google & the parking services they transfer that increase to you or not is another issues. I know one day I have to start posting prices for my domains in Yen for those who inquire.
This is just an FYI post. I have a few clients who have budgets in dollars & it makes their ROI go down. So it’s not all good.
time for renewals !
I'm done till beginning of Spring.
