PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[ZOX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[DnPresident]

woW!

Fantastic response Varon..

Are you saying it can be too late to add meta description? This is something that I have never done but I do see where to add it at Parked.

Also is this something you do yourself or is there a meta description tool?

I see this example <meta name=”description” content=”Your description here.”/>

Given here here http://www.recommendedwebtools.com/index.php/498/how-to-create-a-meta-description-tag/

but I do not know what the meta name should be, what the description should be the content or the second description...

1. The minute you sign up and transfer your domain to parked.com, don't lose time in writing a keyword rich title and meta description. If you don't you might end up getting the standard description with some KW's mentioned. I noticed that all my domains on parked.com are getting indexed super fast on Google. Parked allows you to enter a meta description 128 characters long. Make sure to use as much of this as possible. For finding good low competing high occurence keywords, please reference wordtracker or any other appropriate KW research program. By doing this, you are also ensuring that you might be able to tap some traffic from search engines too. Why waste this great opportunity?

I looked around Parked.com's website and could not seem to find an answer. Does Parked allow adult names?

Yes they do...

 

[geb9696]

Thanks, I am sure they say it somewhere I just could not seem to find it.

Yes, with some "nice" adult templates as well!

We're glad that you're fond of this member, but please give some rep points to some other members before giving it to Varon again.

As usual

Firstly, I'm not an expert on parked.com, but I'm learning a bit. Let me summarize what can be done at Parked.com.

Opportunity lies in the eyes of the beholder. I understand that there are limitations on customizing a parked page. However, its best to always work within limitations and make the best use of available resources.

Here are a few tips that can help you monetize your parked domains better.

1. The minute you sign up and transfer your domain to parked.com, don't lose time in writing a keyword rich title and meta description. If you don't you might end up getting the standard description with some KW's mentioned. I noticed that all my domains on parked.com are getting indexed super fast on Google. Parked allows you to enter a meta description 128 characters long. Make sure to use as much of this as possible. For finding good low competing high occurence keywords, please reference wordtracker or any other appropriate KW research program. By doing this, you are also ensuring that you might be able to tap some traffic from search engines too. Why waste this great opportunity?


2. Use the right keyword. Try researching a bit and you will definitely come up with a good keyword. For example, if you are targeting debt consolidation, make a list of various similar keywords, i.e

a)Consolidating Debt
b)Debt Consolidation
c)Bad Credit Debt Consolidation

Now, each KW pulls up different related KW's on both the 1CL/2CL (CL=Click Lander). For example, here is how the parked.com KW system works with ref to a 2CL. The total related KW links pulled up are 23.

If my KW is Debt Consolidation, the top header would break up into 6 related links. In this case, the main KW links would be

1) Debt Consolidation
2) Credit Card Management
3) Consolidation Credit
4) Credit Information
5) Loan Processing
6) Consolidation

Now again, Debt Consolidation breaks up into 10 links of which 5 KW's are pulled up from the header. So its 5 new KW links. Later item 2-4 are broken up into 4 links each totalling 12.

In short, we have 23 KW's, each associated with different CPC's. Now, the way to go about this would be to experiment with each KW and see what 23 links it pulls up. On an advanced level, I would even delve deeper to make sure that all the 23 links have decent CPC payoffs. But that is going a bit too far.

It would be best to try 1 keyword every 10 days and make a note of its resulting payoffs. This also helps the system get real, rather than historic values for your domain, based on actual yahoo payoffs. So, at the end of the 10 day test period, you know exactly what benchmark CPC that keyword is going to pay you.

Now you can rotate your 3 major keywords each over 10 days. At the end of the 1st month, you know what works best for you. Thats your KW to target.

3. During this testing stage, try working on your landers. Use pleasant web safe colors. To find what web safe colors are, just run a Yahoo/Google search and you should find substantial stuff.

Give your domain a short decent title like "the best payday loans" etc. Try using a friendly non controversial human face on your domain. Visitors get interested looking at a picture. You could also use related cartoons on certain serious themes to gain attention and break down the monotony. Like for example, if you have some cartoon depicting some funny words related to loans, you might get people to stay on and maybe explore your site links.

What I mean is, try whatever seems novel to you. You could hit up with a great picture that grabs people's attention. In some cases however, a human picture might not be appropriate. For example, a medical equipment, like an ECG machine. Here you might want to actually show an ECG machine. Think right and you will get things right.

4) Try different template and color combinations and make a note of your CTR. This gives you an idea of which templates work best. For example, if your domain is related to sports cars and speed vehicles, you may want to use vibrant red shades catering to a vastly younger audience.

5) If you are running a campaign, make effective use of keywords in your ad. This holds significance esp for your title line. Give a call to action. Words like New, Discover, Limited Time, Free etc are proven attention grabbers. Read up on some top advertising keywords which help you create good conversions. You and Only You can make or break your campaign with words. So use them well and you will succeed.

For those who think domaining is easy... ah.. its a nightmare. Its more like a full time job with extreme dedication.

As usual, Great post Varon, I not only have my homework for the weekend, but a guide to go by for the future, Thanks

 

[mrizos]

wow, varon..you are amazing.

 

[DADomains]

Wow, Varon. Your post followed right after mine and even though it wasn't a direct response it, I think it answered my questions perfectly! This is awesome stuff.

Kudos, reps, pats, etc, all go out to you... :hearts:

Thanyou Varon.
Great advice.

I have 2 questions for you or anyone.

1/ when putting in meta tags etc, can we just enter words separated by ,

or do you have to use < > etc.?

2/ if using custom pages the pictures have to be exact the right size whch is a bit of a pain as you have to make every one same size. if you're not a whizz (like me) and even downloaded jpeg resize software gets you scratching head, is there an online resource that lets you resize pics to parked exact standards & then save?

thanks for any help & hepl already

i also have to add, i needed to ask Donny something twice and his support is quick & impressive.

Donny : Why u didn't still add automated optimization for landing pages?something like change color of templates ...

This thread seems to be HOT 24 users online!

 

[DnPresident]

All next week I will be at the ICANN meetings in Los Angeles, and I was wondering if anybody was interested in getting together for a few drinks and maybe some dinner on either Friday (11/2) or Saturday (11/3) night. I'll be staying at the Los Angeles Airport Hilton so if possible I would like to get together some place close if possible.

Anybody interested? I'm buying!

Donny

I'm interested, fly out and back, I'd like to actually talk to some people with the same interests in mind in person. Swap some strategies and get our revenue a boost. :talk:

 

[.X.]

In my opinion, The two click lander, is going to have to be revised to be able to attract nice CTR, It needs to be as website like as possible, Large, long page, A header graphic and ect. It is much like ParkingDots , right now, Kind of just a small page, small fonts, with all the subjects cramped together, Not appealing to a net surfer,Imo

I agree guys. Good job! :blink:

 

[NameCharger]

Regarding customized templates, any chance we will be able to use .gif as landing images?

 

[Varon]

Thanks guys. I'm glad you found some of the points interesting. Appreciate the reps and comments.

And Fitz, you're right there, Reps should be spread evenly amongst all members. I have seen so many helpful posts here go unrecognized. We honestly, need to use the reps feature to appreciate someone's post. It takes a few seconds to do it.

Could you guys please review my site: RepublicadeColombia.info
