PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[ZOX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Varon]

A similar thought... I tend to get my payment a day before the scheduled date. Like this time, I got the parked.com trade pay deposit on the 6th. This is a solid reliable payment schedule. It would be great to see other parking companies emulate this twice monthly payouts.

 

[johname]

Just cant beat twice monthly, fast payments. Thanks, Parked.com

 

[Grassman]

Donny since you read this i just want to say that the manager Sonny kicks serious ass. She answers my tickets/questions within 24 hours usually. Theres some sketchyness going on with my account so i have been contacting her about it.

Also, do you contact on weekends or no

Just got my parked page indexed and search results are strange?

<begin Google results>
Puts - Write Puts and Sell Puts Like The Pros.... option holder is merely selling his short position, and is not contractually obligated by the sold option.) Wikipedia. ©2007 puts.tv All rights reserved.
<end Google results>

Any ideas why the Meta description tag was not indexed but instead the LAST few lines of my custom content?

Any help would be appreciated.

 

[hitchhiker]

are you using content from wikipedia. . . is so google will send you to the "supplementary" results despite being indexed. . . .

try to have original content, it will rank higher

meta tag descriptions are never shown in the search results . . .too much spamming.

Guys i have a question. Ive been a member of parked.com for many years now. And for the most part Ive never had problems... And Ive never ever had ANY problems with payments or money owed or anything like that. But in the past few months ive been making about $2500 on one domain in a months time, every single month. I would like to add MORE domains to parked.com simply for that reason alone lol, but when i had a recent discussion with someone they urged me not to add my new domains to parked. They had heard some "rumors" about people making too much money from parked.com and they got their accounts deleted. Now me, I dont personally put too much thought into this because we all know from belonging to other sites that when people do illegal things or break TOS and then they get suspended or deleted, they get pissed off and decide to spread nasty things about the program/company. But im just wondering if there really is ANY truth to this rumor. Ive tried many other parking programs and like this one the best for MANY reasons. I just want to know if i really have anything to be worrying about, or if I should just go ahead and add my domains. What do you guys think?

 

[johname]

Dont worry AlphaBeta, add more domains, no company would say no to quality domain names.

If you got more $2500 a month name you dont have any problems lol

 

[jeffoverman]

Parked has a very successful name called stockmaster.com and I remember reading about this and the owner wanted to sell it for cash issues to start another project up.

I find that very hard to believe. Parked wants and loves this type of volume.

Most parking companies do and I wish I was in that league lol.

2500 a month coming inn each month from just one name. Reinforces what I want to do next year, buy one generic type in name or attempt to and not spend thousands of bucks for a .com but will be hard to find

Been a tough week here after last weeks upward trend here. This week how frustrating. More work to do and trying get results. Move forward back 3 steps it seems in the domain business lol but I love it and its surly a challenge. More tweaking, more time. Now I am trying find 40 names in my names and go from there. Changes revisions and what's working and what's not.

Domaining is a powerful thing and still believing in this. Just tough on a rookie with limited funds and surly made a lot of mistakes. And wish I could go out and buy a type in name tomorrow but can't. Money is a pain in the ass lol

Cheers

[evilopinions]

that stockmaster domain looks amazing
How did yea achieve it...whoever s it is ?

 

[projectv4]

evilopinions, they're using an iframe, which as far as i know is against what parked likes, and could lead to their account getting banned

 

[jeffoverman]

yes stockmaster.com looks nice dosent it...it also brings in a lot of money even though it didnt get sold for 150k(i believe 6 years earnings).

so parked loves high earners and this is a nice example of a site.

The names I know that Frank owns are not at parked-there all going to trafficz i believe...I am sure he has a few here, lol....I could not imagaine a big name and all names being under one roof but maybe i am wrong.....I know the big players get hooked up well and special service and prices.

Today looks good for me-crt and clicks so far...hope my estimate from yesterday dosent tank...

I need to get hold of my rep for the first time and I forgot to call him Friday.

Lions actually beating cowboys, lol.....go lions

i find that hard to believe on this iframe issue...

parked was backing the owner and confirming stats and traffic.....stockmaster made some blogs, news and a write up....

This was a few months back as I recall.....My brain can only remember so much as I grow older, lol...

Either way, point being is parked loves high profile names.....I am still trying find one name at parked, lol.......Experiment and trial and error....Need my reps help on a few things going into new year I am sensing......

J

numbers came down....not looking good and promising for me this week...back being discouraged now, lol......who says domaining is easy, lol..Was really hope for an uptick and higher clicks this week.......

 

[mrizos]

evilopinions, they're using an iframe, which as far as i know is against what parked likes, and could lead to their account getting banned

Yeah, I can't see parked liking other links on the same page.

 

[jeffoverman]

i been trying to optimize my names and click save but its not giving me the thumbs up sign.

then i been trying to remove keywords and with bringing name down by dragging but that wont let me.....it used to let me.....so i need to edit manually remove keywords on the the other page?? its to bad you cant just copy and paste the term so you wont need to do all this typing in and not forgetting the which word your trying to remove. to bad the drag down and bringing name down to remove box isnt working???

my macau casino niche names and general key words continue to some porn chick on name even when i manually try to show a casino game in picture. i dont get this and it wont let me save it. so i have niche casino names and have porn pictures.....

trying fix my cheaprumcakes.com site and keep changing my keyword, 5 other names and cant find the keyword i like that shows specific results on rum cakes.....its showing cake boxes as a category...had 15 uniques this paying period and zero clicks....

system is acting up at my end and optimization.....

 

[mj85]

How can you optimize name to look like this one stockmaster.com ?

 

[projectv4]

i had an account banned by parked due to iframes, donny (if i'm not mistaken) was the one who emailed me after i inquired about the reason i was banned. i was making decent money on it as well - they said they didnt like iframes because it clears the referral header so advertisers can't track it at all (or something along those lines)

 

[Donny]

ArtfulWebSites - The traffic analysis system shows data for the last 5 days and it's only based on clicks. There is not any current way to show more or less than what is there. Normally you can drill down to the country level but for some reason it is not currently working, I have sent an email to our stats guy to take a look at it tomorrow when he gets in.

netmeg - You should always get paid via direct deposit before we tell you that you are paid. It's just one of those things. Glad you enjoy getting paid a little early.

Grassman - I won't tell HIM anything, because I don't want HIM to get a big head. We currently only have 1 female account manager and that's Karen, all of the other people are male. One day soon, I'm going to take everybody's picture and put it inside the system so everybody knows what their account manager looks like. Just so everybody knows Sonny is also the person who presses the big red payment button for everybody.

Most of our account managers work on the weekends, but not necessarily in the office but from home. Some work late or check their email late at night, it really depends on who they are.

AlphaBeta7 - We have never terminated anybody for making too much money, remember when you make money, we make money. So basically your friends must have run into the problem of sending too much bad traffic and they showed up on one of our radars. I always recommend people do what they think is the right thing to do, not what your friends think you should do.

[AlphaBeta7]

Thanks Donny, i knew you would get around to this board again sooner or later, im glad you replied to me about the worry I had. Like I said Ive been with parked for a few years now and Ive always enjoyed my time there thoroughly, and I know sometimes people try and give a company a bad rep just because they got caught doing something they werent supposed to be doing in the first place. Thanks

How can you optimize name to look like this one stockmaster.com ?

Good question!

Donny, can you shed some light on this type of UI? That's certainly a different presentation than the usual parked.com site. Parked.com test site maybe?

IB

 

[Donny]

I first found out about stockmaster.com when they put it up for auction. I saw how they were using iframes to deliver other content, and I didn't want to just up and terminate this guy because of one domain. I contacted Yahoo and they said they would allow this one to test the waters. Since they we have allowed a few others on random occasions, and so far stockmaster.com is the only one that has worked. I will say that he makes 50% less today with iframes than he did before.

Donny

 

[projectv4]

Donny, I'm not sure how to react after hearing that. I had my account banned based on iframes solely on one domain without any word of what I was doing wrong. You even went as far to say that you didn't know of any parked companies that allow iframes...

But now you are saying parked is allowing stockmaster, and Yahoo has allowed a few others as well... I was out a few hundred cuz of that...

 

[Donny]

I still don't know of any parking company that allows iframes. This wasn't my decision it was our providers who said no iframes.

And since I don't know exactly what your username was it's hard for me to really look at the circumstances. It could have been 2 years ago, it could have been because how you implemented the iframes. I really don't know.

All I can tell you is that I personally sent something to Yahoo about stockmaster.com and they gave the domain approval to use them.

Donny

 

[netmeg]

meta tag descriptions are never shown in the search results . . .too much spamming.

Just have to correct this, because it's not true. Meta tag descriptions are often (I will go so far as to say usually) shown in the search results snippets, when they are present, particularly if you have a robots tag that disallows the ODP and/or Yahoo directory. Neither Google nor Yahoo use the meta keywords tag, but the description tag is absolutely used and absolutely important.

 

[whitebark]

Donny - is it possible to have more control over the file names given to the images we use on custom templates? Right now it seems to just pull the domain name and attach the file size to jpg's file name. For obvious reasons it would be preferable to have whistler_british_columbia.jpg than whistlerbritishcolumbia_250x251.jpg.

Thanks!

 

[jeffoverman]

Donny

I want to say sorry in bringing this I frame issue up.

When I read more on thread and came back on my blackberry I didn't mean to start a huge debate on I frame issues since I didn't even know what an I frame is until just now.

The point I was trying to state was stockmaster was bringing in volume and was with parked and parked loves volume names.

Sorry again. I didn't mean to cause a huge debate or madness here.

Ps..hope one day with parked I can have a couple names that bring in some nice traffic and that type of volume. The rookie is slowly learning the ropes lol. My ctr and epc are up today, hope the numbers tomorrow finish where the estimates are at or above. Days like this want me continue my work and keep learning. Domaining is not easy lol. Rollar coaster of ups and downs at my end.
