PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[ZOX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[evilopinions]

if you mean 20 other domains of mine then that is incorrect because I only had 13 total views.....

If you mean 20 other from all parked.com domains then I believe this is like a joke...so yahoo I guess will never credit the advertisers and I guess thats where the big hole in the system is...I am not surprised at the amount of money being eaten away by the BIG DOGS

 

[Donny]

The domain you are talking about that had 4 clicks on 10/21 all of the clicks came from 1 ip address. This one ip address also clicked on 20 other domains in other accounts around the same time as they clicked on your domain 4 times.

Also all of your domains have 13 uniques for the day, the one in question had 6.

I'm not sure what the big dogs reference is, but ok.

[chenzen]

Quality score applies to the entire porfolio no?

Ohhhh...that was simply for fun. Don't take it seriously

 

[evilopinions]

Oh Donny,

By big dogs I meant yahoo and people...I just wanted it to be clear between us that I wasnt the one who was doing it..because from the first explanation I felt that you meant I clicked on all 4 different domains or encouraged for that to happen.

Yeah I understand ...Damn that clicker...I am just happy that the revenue was not like 4-5 $ a click. Anyways chill....And thanks you are good at coming back and answering stuff....

It is a possible scenario. Recently, I saw my CTR decline amazingly low. I saw hundreds of visitors with no click throughs. I approached my PPC company and they did investigate the matter. What I understand is that sometimes, competing advertisers might click repeatedly on your ad to deplete your ad budgets and virtually throw you out of KW bids. I have currently changed my PPC campaign providers and am getting better results.

Another scenario is that certain PPC companies themselves send out automated bots to drain your budget and make you increase your spend.

I mean, there are a lot of scenarios where foul play is at work. In your case, it is very possible that an automated bot script was running through different domains on the parked systems and clicking away.

I have also noticed that the adwords content program brings in a lot of suspicious traffic at times. I recently was adjusted for 12 clicks from an adwords campaign. At such times, it is necessary to analyze that its not always that someone is trying to deprive you of your clicks. It could be a genuine issue.

I'm SERIOUSLY not ass-kissing when I say...Yes, Donny's one of the best at that! :tu:

Yeah, I agree on that. I am always amazed by his super fast response.

What provider you use if you dont maind to share

Don't you know that "Donny 2000" is PARKED.COM's newest robot acquisition!

[sugimail]

Donny, if our domain is some semi adult related (not 100% adult but related to be adult) can we just ask parked to change the domain into adult.

Cause it is dilema. If Yahoo receive that semi adult domain is not adult but the traffic is adult then It will drop our QS. I assume let's just change itu into adult anyway...

 

[Donny]

sugimail - If a domain is semi-adult, I guess that's like the domain I saw that's currently with DS almostporn.com. If a domain is clean/non-adult at any time you can set the keyword to be adult if you think that is the most appropriate, this really comes in handy when you have a domain that used to be an adult site in the past.

New Templates?

I am hoping so, Parked has it all, The leader in the domain parking industry, BUT, Those two click lander templates, Well, They just aren't appealing at all, Out dated, and put "PARKED PAGE" right into a visitors face, Imo, They are two small, the fonts are to small, they are simply out dated, Imo, The one click lander is so-so, I far prefer a two click lander, to a one click lander, people can navigate more by preference with a two click lander, Imo.

Donny, Help!!! New templates please!! 3/4 diameter page templates, extending a full page, Nice right to left navigation, Full headers would be awesome, Make the landers look like a website, that is closest i can put it.

A fact: This not being with Parked.com, I changed my lander on four names, My CTR went up 35%! Why? Because the lander i was using prior to changing, had a less attractive navigation, The page was not leveled from left to right, for maximum navigation, And it was less attractive as well in appearance.

Please Donny, Get some new two click landers,! Pleeeeeaaaaassssseee!

Donny, That is all Parked.com lacks, Nice Templates, That should be a fairly easy task, It might be costly today, but will pay off big time in the future, You offer some nice templates, and Parked.com is the true #1 leader, with out a doubt, of all parking services available, hands down!

 

[CoolMark]

New templates please!!

I agree.

If the templates actually looked like something other than yet anouther Parked template we'd see much better revenue. Adding the ability to put stuff underneath the standard Parked page hasn't really changed anything, we need to be able to choose from a wide range of great looking templates and then customise them to suite our requirements.

Advantages of good templates: More money

Disadvantages of good templates: None

The sooner the better in my opinion.

 

[netmeg]

Yea, that's one of the main things that made me move my names back to Namedrive from Parked - the landing pages. Even with the great customization that's offered, there's really only so much you can do with what's there.

Sorry to say thing here, but those 2 click landers are horrendous. I really feel adding some updated templates would increase the CTR as well.

 

[Varon]

Yeah...better 2 click landers can really help our CTR's. After looking at the 2 click landers I had to put in some work to get all 1 click landers to improve my CTR. In fact I had to buy quite a few new names.

No doubt that the stock photo inventory is amazing. But the landers could do much better with bigger font size and a complete makeover. I had written to Donny about this some time back.

Internet users are already aware of parking pages and their standard layouts. So much that, many would just bounce off with one glance at the much popular look. Case to mention would be the standard Sedo templates. While Sedo keeps mentioning that their default templates are very popular, I can hardly believe that statement. For me, that page reads like the Red Stop Sign in Bold.

Parked is awesome for its superb CPC rates, twice a month payments and excellent Customer Support. However, it would be great to see new templates come up. That would benefit us all. The only other point is the "adult warning intro screen". That kills off every potential an adult domain can have. I just wish, that can be taken off.

How did you get all one click landers? Donny told me that was decided by yahoo.

 

[Varon]

It is decided by Yahoo. But if you research a bit, you can find out which keywords have the most advertisers on Yahoo to get a 1 click lander.

Hello

Any reason why one of my Parked domains NAHTI.com would be displaying in German rather than English even though the appearance tab all the information is in English? I mailed SonnyV last night but im inpatient-LOL

What's your "keyword"?

 

[mplswifi]

Hi

I have tried "Housing Development" and "Community Development"

They both give me what looks to be German on the first page and now English on the second.

 

[netmeg]

Try it without "Development", just to see.

 

[german2006]

Yesterday I moved one of my OK OK domain to parked.In about 13 views I got 4 clicks 5 cent a click. The same domain makes 1 $ a day at Bodis. I thought still lets stick out and see what happens....Today morning I checked the stats and all clicks and revenue has disappeared and gone back to zero !

Has this happened to anyone before....

I am very very very surprised

I have the similar problem once/twice a week, when a few clicks disappear from my account at the time when estimates ends.

All seems to be a yahoo issue, but as a fair user, i really dislike it.
