No custom content, and mine are indexed very well in Google. Haven't even looked in Yahoo. As far as impressions and uniques - I've never gotten a click that wasn't from a unique, so I suspect one begets the other.

I can only speak from my experience but if you own domains that a keywords and combinations of keywords Fab does an excellent job getting them indexed right to the top.

Actually, I have to amend that slightly. I went and looked today, and none of my domains (and I have hundreds at Fabulous) are ranking. They're indexed, but not ranking for anything, not even the titles, nor using quotes. Very disturbing. I looked for a couple of domains from friends who park at Fabulous, and couldn't find those either. Last two weeks, they were there. Has Google slapped Fabulous?

Typically you will need to have a unique recorded in order to receive a click. However, at time you will see anomalies, and this is most likely a spider/bot that was undetected which recorded the click.

Although we don't specifically do any SEO to our lander pages, we do find that from time to time our pages are indexed and ranked in the search engines, including Google.

As I'm sure you can all understand, Google are always updating their algorithm, so SE traffic is always going to be inconsistent. We have noticed that on our own portfolio that SE traffic always rises and falls.

At this stage customers are unable to add custom content to their landing pages. However, this is a feature we are looking to include in a future release.

Hi Mike,

I have an adult name that I placed in the premium header.

I notice pretty steady traffic and very low clicks. So after trying to figure why, I have come to the conclusion the photo is turning my visitors off and they leave. The photo is a piano, not very exciting.

I am not aware if Fab has adult theme photos and would prefer putting the name back into the premium program as the clicks are higher than the Roar. Can I click some button to have my adult landers include an adult photo?

So I am thinking the page looks better under the Roar category?

Typically we are looking for portfolios that consist predominantly of .com, .net, .org, .co.uk, .com.au, .ca and .us domains. If you do have a few .tv domains, we would allow those in also.

LLLL.coms and LLLL.nets don't perform well on our program. Domains that consist of 2-3 generic/commercial keyword phrases perform best.

Unfortunately we do not allow images to be placed on Adult related names. If a piano is currently being shown, it's most likely the domain has been incorrectly categorized.

Drop your Account Rep or support@fabulous.com an email with the name and they can fix this for you.

Cheers,

Mike

Mike, will you be able to evaluate why my names are getting 3-4 $ and not $ 6 - $ 25 on gambling names as mentioned some posts above. Mine are all casino/poker/blackjack/roulette ads.

I've noticed a drop in my rankings in the last week as well. They are still indexed though.

Hi All:

I was approved by Fabulous and have been anxiously waiting optimization of my names as my account rep said that I should wait for the optimization before changing nameservers. Anyway, being the impatient sort and wanting to see some of my domains with the great landing pages, I decided to try my hand at optimizing a couple myself. Even though the process is very user friendly and quickly accomplished, I am glad that Fabulous will optimize them for me as completing 250+ could take a while.

Anyway, the problem I am having is when I am choosing a targeted keyword to improve the relevency of the ads. After I update the keyword, I get an approval message from Fabulous and the more relevant show up wonderfully. Then within about 24 hours the less relevant ads start showing up again even though the targeted keyword is still shown in the setup.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, or know what I am doing wrong? I have emailed my account rep, but apparently Fabulous actually gives them a couple of days off Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Alan

Hi Packrat,

I sure have! I just logged in to see if others were seeing the same thing. Not only are they super slow to resolve...but the pages haven't been loading very well the past few days and now I get the dreaded blank screen!

It just took about 30 seconds to load a page - and it loaded with out graphics or colors - just white with text.

Hi Alan,

Seeing the same thing here. My account rep changed a block of domains to use the keyword of "genealogy". Worked great for about a week. Now although the keyword is still set for all of these domains, they are back to showing a mish-mash of non-related ads having nothing to do with the set keyword.

First off, I think fabulous is a top-notch outfit. They respond well to emails, and their site and service are fantastic. The fact that Mike is here professionally answering our posts is a big plus, too.

Like some others, I have seen a drop in traffic to my parked domains in the last few weeks. The click-through rate has also dropped to 50-60% of previous levels, resulting in much lower revenue. It appears (to me) that fabulous has been targeted by Google, and that Big G has successfully decreased traffic to parked fabulous domains across the board.

The question is, what will fabulous to do counteract the attack? I vote for some form of customizable content as we are seeing from other parking companies.
