Jeff - The warning page, is something that Yahoo requires of all of their partners. We have done some testing and you do lose about 5-10% CTR. But that warning page is only shown in countries they support.

I looked at the CTR on two adult domains we own, and our CTR is much higher than your 20%. But I looked at a few others and the CTR does vary from 20 to 70%. So I guess it depends more on the traffic and the country of the traffic.

In the next few weeks some of the adult restrictions we have today may change a little, but the warning pages will still be there.

Ok. Thanks donny and in the answer.

I know I get a lot of traffic outside of the united states on this name.

May do an experiement and bring my porn related names back to parked and see how the traffic is and use keywords.

A ctr of 70 percent would be amazing lol!

Is there a way to get a text list of the current templates that are out there? There seem to be hundreds and it would help to know what they are instead of searching on each letter. Thanks!

ebatcave - Ask your account manager to see if he can get you a list. We currently have 15,482 different templates. We normally don't want to make it publically downloadable, because then the competition could just use it as a starting point. That would be too easy.

We add about 20-30 new templates each day.

But templates one day will be a thing of the past, this is one of my new test pages. http://www.phpscripts.com. It's my own "borrowed" design, with a little rss feed added in, some content, and a few youtube videos. If anybody is from outside the US, you will have to go to the results page.

I will be on vacation starting today, so it's always fun to leave people with something new and no way for me to comment about it.

Netmeg is right. It's not a template. It's a custom layout.

If you are buying expired adult traffic domains 20% is not so unusual but if you buy generic adult domains your CTR goes up dramatically - most of the time.

Here's one of my generic adult with Parked doing 138% CTR with a fair sample of 975 visitors. It's just the .06 a click that is killing me - but I'm not complaining b/c it is better than I can get anywhere else when you factor in the CTR.

975 1,348 $85.86 138.26% $0.06 $83.71

Are you going to make this "template" available Donny?

If so...when?

Sdx - that layout is mine. You will need to create your own.

It's not hard, as long as you can use a html editor.

Whoa Whoa!!! Slow down there, Donny!

This is completely leaving the path of "regular templates" and definitely looks more appealing than anything in the DB of choices.
Unfortunately, most of us - or at the very least, i am - not a coder. I understand what HTML is all about, but writing something that has an acceptable visual output is a no-go.
Short of outsourcing to someone to code, how can the common "parker" achieve similar results?

Throw us a bone here, man!

Making my own parking pages would be a breeze if I could blow up the adsense blocks to twice their normal size without getting kicked out of the program for violating TOS.

Well it's not AdSense, because Parked delivers a Yahoo (and other) feed. Maybe the other companies have different rules about formatting the sponsored links.

Hoo... I can't *wait* to get my hands on this, although I won't be able to do it justice until after the 4th of July.

Maybe he can get away with it, just because of the traffic he brings Yahoo, but I really doubt any regular joe in the Yahoo program would be allowed to alter the way the ads display and get away with it.

Umm, it's not YPN, it's a parking feed. Whole different thing. Look at how differently all the various parking companies display their Google and Yahoo ads (Namedrive, RD, Parked, SEDO, Fabulous, etc)

GIL, how are your Portuguese domains doing lately at Parked ? Mine have seen some improvement.
