Hi Charley,

My guess would be that the downturn in clicks/rev you are experiencing is the result of the Memorial Day weekend.

Cheers,

Hi Mike

I seem to remember that you said you were working on letting members change the titles. I have a LOT of upper and lower case letter errors. I know I can email my rep, but it would be a lot easier for me to do this.

Can you update us on the status of this?

Thanks...

Hi Mike,

I just applied to Fab and got rejected. I have sent another email to Ben with a list of other owned domains. I was just suprised that we didn't have any domains names that were worthwhile to you even though some are rating premium.

Could you have a look at my submission please.

Cheers

Arthur

Hi Bampa,

At this stage you will still need to request this by contacting your Account Rep. However, this may change with our next upgrade to the parking program, which is in development now.

Speaking of which, if there is any features/tools you guys would like included, please let me know.

I really wish you guys had more bulk editing tools, particular for stuff on the registrar side, as opposed to the parking side. For example, I just had to change contact info for 58 domains, one at a time. That was a real pain. I know I could have gotten my rep to do it, but *I* wanted to do it. And your tool for bulk nameserver changes is awkward, and not intuitive. If I want to change nameservers for 50 or 100 domains at a time, I have to somehow generate a list of them first, paste them into the box, and then specify the nameservers, as opposed to just doing a search, checking some boxes, and doing it that way.

Hi Hecto, domains that perform best on our program are generic, keyword specific names, with English language type-in traffic.

Typically 4L domains do not perform well with us.

yes Mike,

here is one for your tech team:

when setting a domain on auto optimize and some time later you check ( domains have traffic and clicks) - goto: daily - goto specific domain - click on stats and you see the past 30 days and the layouts that where used ( all the % each layout ect - however evenso the domain had clicks over the past 30 days it shows ctr % on every domain shows a big 0% - if anyone sees anything other than a big fat 0% on that please let me know.

so this feature doesn't work ( before telling me it does work please check it out yourself and if you can not find it i am happy to give you a few domains including screenshots )


since we are on this subject : has anybody ever has anything other than zero on the cat. sales at earings report

Impressions:
Uniques:
Clicks:
Sales: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Earnings:

after several years with fab i have yet to see anything other than zero ( but i only use them for a few 100 gambling domains)

Thanks for the note wolfis, I've passed your comments onto the Tech guys. Hopefully we will have this fixed ASAP.

The "Sale" column only applies if you have a DarkBlue CPA advertisement either as the lander for your domain name, or as a pop. A "sale" is recorded when an advertiser generates revenue from a unique visitor sent from your domain.

Let me know if there's any other questions.

thank you Mike for explaining - that makes sense.

some other improvements ideas for the new version :

* date and bookmark on parking pages ( kinda like domainsponsor has )
* possibility to add costum content (kinda like parked does )
* the possibility of the popup features on that the former fab version has ( or if this popup thingy is possible with the fab + lander a little bocklet for publishers to show them how to do this as i have not found any way to do the popup on the fab+ lander - i know how to do it on the old version but not on this on.)
* no more of these 15 cent online casino clicks even if it is on sundays.

- i know thats a lot to ask for - just some ideas....

I have been requesting this for a while. The ability to Capitalize your domain so it displays how you want.

This is just an observation and food for thought.

Most of us believe that domains parked with fabulous were recently 'slapped' by Google's algorithm, and many of us who have domains parked with fab saw our traffic and revenue slip. Just in the last week or so, I have noticed more trafffic and revenue coming from Yahoo searches. I am guessing that fabulous has made an extra effort to get domains into yahoo's SE results in light of the Google slap.

The domains that are getting traffic are all listed on page 1 of Yahoo search results, and the ad titles seem to be carrying the most weight, rather than domain name, site title or description.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else is experiencing a jump in their yahoo search results from fab parked domains.

Mike, here's a good request:

On a few occasions you've had to provide instructions for people to get certain reports about their domains' traffic. That's because the reporting interface is very complicated and it's almost impossible for a user to know all the possibilities and remember the sequences of options to get the various reports.

There's a lot of functionality there that isn't even known about, let alone being used.

What we need is a page of 'quick reports' where there is a list of shortcuts or buttons to the most useful and commonly used reports.

I know I would benefit from that and I think others would, too.

here is another idea for improvment - tell your account managers to approve domain/keyword in less then 4 WEEKS !!

just look into my account - i added a GENERIC insurance domain - several weeks ago and the adds are still not approved !

Good suggestion CoolMark! Are there any specific reports that you use all the time? Also, we do have some standard Domain Analytics reports you can run.

Hi wolfis, Keywords should be approved within 24 hours. If it is taking any longer than that please contact your account rep or support@fabulous.com

Hi henniemeijer, this is a known bug in our system, which the tech guys are looking into. It should be resolved soon. In which case, if you do have any domains showing "Ads Pending" they will be using Roar.com ad feed, and not the Google ad feed.
