One of the best parts about Fabulous.com parking is that domains get high up in SEs. For example, my fresh reg Canadian Parking .com started to make ~$15/mo. and because it was getting hits from Google for "Toronto Parking", etc.

With a CTR of 30-60% most days even a portfolio of 25 domains with a few visitors each every day will make money. Some weeks my epc average is nearly .90 cents at Fabulous on a mixed bag of .ca domains.

As far as I am aware there are no issues with the reporting of our stats. If anyone has any concerns, please email support@fabulous.com with your username and they can investigate further.

As long as the domains are generic/commercial in nature they should perform well on our program.

Feel free to sign up for an account here.

What is the deal with Ads: Pending verses Ads: Premium? Is this something that has to be approved by Fabulous to make the switch? I understand Premium to be Google ads? Does this mean that the domains that do not have a Premium Designation are not getting top ad feeds?

Would just like to know to see if I should move those names to another parking service to get better results.

Hi MrSpartan,

Domains that have Ads: Pending will need to be approved by a Fabulous Account Rep.

If you want to PM me your username I can get one of the Account Reps update your domains ASAP.

Just a quick question, do you have only 25 domains with Fab ?

Question redirect option

Ok I have these two domains one is spelled correctly sequoia and one is spelled incorrectly sAquoia. So on the one incorrectly spelled I use the redirect option from the drop down menu to redirect to the correct spelling. both webpages are identical. Now dont you know I get a letter from my account rep quoting that redirect is violation of TOA.

DUH....why offer redirect if its a violation? What am I missing?

Hi pixelpadre,

As per our Terms and Conditions, we do not allow customers to redirect traffic to domains that are on our parking program.

Customers may use our redirection feature if they would like to redirect the domain to another parking provider on a custom URL redirect.

For example, a customer may have a domain on our DNS, but is sending the traffic to Parked.com on a custom URL.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thats insane......you will allow me to accomplish the same thing (redirect from a mispelled domain to a correctly spelled domain) by taking away your business and giving it to someone else? Is that what they mean by Pretzel Logic?

Hey Mike here are the rules.....please show me where it tells me what you just said.

3. Domain Traffic Redirection Service
3.1. The Domain Traffic Redirection Service shall be provided to the Domain Name Owner on the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Domain Name Owner shall not under any circumstances, provide consideration (whether monetary or otherwise) to any third party (whether directly or indirectly) to procure internet traffic by any means whatsoever to the Domains.

(b) The Domain Name Owner shall not under any circumstances use any frameset, landing page or other similar device when redirecting internet traffic from the Domains to Fabulous Advertisers offering payment for this traffic on a "per click" basis.

(c) The Domain Name Owner shall not under any circumstances attempt to redirect internet traffic to the Domains from any other domain names they own or control.

(d) The Domain Name Owner shall not under any circumstances, include hyperlinks to the Domain(s) or sub-domains of the Domain(s):

(i) On or in any website(s) owned or controlled by the Domain Name Owner, or

(ii) On or in any electronic mail message (including both unsolicited and "opt-in" or permission email), newsgroup, message board, banner network, counter, chat room, guest book, IRC channel or on or through any other similar device or facility.

(e) The Domain Name Owner shall not under any circumstances, procure or forward Unqualified Internet Traffic to the Domains. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Unqualified Internet Traffic” shall mean traffic acquired from Incentivized Links or Unauthorised Clicks or from any other source that contains content that does not have a logical and apparent connection with the relevant domain name. “Incentivized Links” shall mean those links accompanied by any representation which encourages individual users to click on the link in order to earn money, points or any other reward. "Unauthorised Clicks" shall mean clicks generated by a Domain Name Owner, the Domain Name Owner's agents and/or the Domain Name Owner's Relative (being the spouse, parent or remoter lineal ancestor, son, daughter or remoter issue, or brother or sister of the Domain Name Owner) to procure internet traffic to the Domain Name Owner's Domains.

(f) Fabulous.com reserves the right to determine in its sole and absolute discretion, that traffic from the Domains is Unqualified Internet Traffic. In the event that such a determination is made, Fabulous.com may immediately upon notifying the Domain Name Owner (in writing or via email) of its determination, suspend or terminate the Domain Traffic Redirection Service in relation to the offending Domains or suspend or terminate the Services altogether. The Domain Name Owner shall not be entitled to receive any commissions or others amount derived from Unqualified Internet Traffic.

(g) If the Domain Name Owner agrees to use the Fabulous.com Suggested Phrase/Related Links service for the Domains subject to the Domain Traffic Redirection Service, they shall be responsible to ensure that they submit relevant Phrases and/or Terms. For the purposes of this Agreement, Phrases and/or Terms shall be relevant only if they relate to goods or services that have a logical and apparent connection with the Domain(s), so that it could reasonably be expected that individual users comprising the traffic from the Domain(s) would be interested in acquiring the goods or services of the relevant Fabulous Advertisers or the Independent Websites to whom the traffic is sent.

(h) The Domain Name Owner shall be responsible for categorizing each of the Domains to ensure that the traffic from the Domains is sent to the Appropriate Fabulous Advertisers. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Appropriate Fabulous Advertisers shall be those Fabulous Advertisers that provide goods or services that have a logical and apparent connection with the relevant Domain, so that it could reasonably be expected that individual users comprising the traffic from the relevant Domain would be interested in acquiring the goods and services of the Fabulous Advertisers to whom the traffic is sent.

(i) Fabulous.com reserves the right to determine in its sole and absolute discretion, that the traffic from one or more of the Domains is not being redirected to the Appropriate Fabulous Advertisers. In the event that such a determination is made, Fabulous.com may immediately upon notifying the Domain Name Owner (in writing or via email) of its determination, redirect the traffic from the relevant domain name to those Fabulous Advertisers it chooses (in its sole and absolute discretion) until such time as the Domain Name Owner and Fabulous.com reach an agreement (in writing or email) regarding who are the Appropriate Fabulous Advertisers for the relevant domain name.

(j) Fabulous.com reserves the right to determine in its sole and absolute discretion whether the Phrases and/or Terms submitted by the Domain Name Owner when utilizing the Fabulous.com Suggested Phrase/Related Links service are relevant. A determination by Fabulous.com that the Phrases and/or Terms for the Domain(s) are does not necessarily mean that have been approved by the Fabulous Advertisers or the Independent Websites, and as such, Fabulous reserves the right to modify, remove or replace these Phrases and/or Terms at any time.

The rule that tells you is:

(c) The Domain Name Owner shall not under any circumstances attempt to redirect internet traffic to the Domains from any other domain names they own or control.

No parking companies that I know of allow parked domains to receive traffic that is redirected from another domain.

It's not the redirecting of your traffic from your domain they object to, it's the receiving of traffic that was meant for another domain that they don't like.

In your situation the best thing to do is park your misspelling and set the keyword to 'sequoia.'

Hi pixelpadre,

As CoolMark mentioned, the specific Term you are breaching is:

(c) The Domain Name Owner shall not under any circumstances attempt to redirect internet traffic to the Domains from any other domain names they own or control.

Again, like CoolMark mentioned, the best thing to do is park the typo with us and use Aquoia as a Target Keyword.

Cheers,

Mike

Thumbs down Dead Wrong

You are totally wrong. What (C) refers to is directing unrelated websites to the lander page. i.e. Someone goes to ladders.com through direct navigation. Ladders.com redirects to windows.com a parked domain at Fabulous. Out of curiosity the ladders.com viewer makes worthless clicks at the advertisers expense then leaves without conducting business. You are totally wrong on your interpretation of (c).

Hi pixelpadre,

As per the Terms, we do not allow you to redirect traffic of any kind, relevant or not, to domains that are parked on our program.
