PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[ZOX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Mike]

I think it was just a slow day, being not only a weekend but right before Christmas. Most people who are shopping know they can't get delivery if they buy online, and the rest are just doing other things or travelling. My clicks for yesterday (Saturday) were only about a quarter to a third of what they've been during the week, and my domains parked elsewhere and most of my AdSense revenue were all down too.

Yep, same here. My visits and subsequently my CTR are down. That was to expect though. If we'd still get the same numbers at Christmas as we do for the rest of the year, then there'd be something wrong with society.

I experienced some serious problems that never happened to me before. I advertise my parked domains @ AdCentre. It has been months without a single problem, all clicks of my adtexts at adcentre always 100% converted as visitors at parked.com. However, this month something strange happened. Some of my domains that I advertise at AdCentre got hundreds of click/day, however, it only converted 1 to 2% visitors in parked.com. Initially, i used domain masking/forwarding to all of my domains. Then i read on this forum to change that into ns1.parked.com and ns2.parked.com to minimize the lost clicks. I did that already but still i experience so many lost clicks.

Is there anyone has this kind of experience? Or is there anyone has the solutions?

I do feel desperate now.....

thanks guyz....

I'm not aiming at a conspiracy theory here, but i've been told before that if you're running a competitive keyword campaign, that you may fall victim to someone clicking on your SE ads to deplete your budget while not clicking on any of your parked site's links. I'm not saying that this is the case, however, it's something i'd look into.
I don't think we can implement Google Analytics codes into your parked domains, although it would be fantastic if we could! What's an option though, is to redirect your domain through a hosted account in which case, if you have cPanel, you can use AwStats for tracking.
Not sure that helps, maybe it's worth a thought.


Last but not least, all participants of this thread, Netmeg, Varon who both are invaluably helpful to our progress, SDX for starting this thread and Donny for setting new standards in customer care - a Merry Christmas!

I get this every once in awhile as well. My solution is to remove 1 phrase by typing (edit removed keywords) then I can usually go back to the drag and drop. It tends to only happen when there are no removed words. Other than that, it comes and goes without any sort of pattern.

Yep, typing in the first word fixed it. Now I can drag and drop. Thanks!

After a few shots at the emergency room yesterday and lots of rest, I'm finally starting to feel a little better. It's going to take me a few days to catch up, so if anybody needs to bring something to my attention, please either PM me or repost or bring it up again.

Don't want anybody to think I'm forgetting about them.

It would be better if there's a masking option so that visitors wouldn't be confused if they are in the correct domain.

might be for trademark violation reasons. what are the domain names that you experience this with?

Help!

I just parked my adult education site (adultslearnmore.com) and it is displaying as a porn site. On my domain detail page everything is set for adult education (keyword, template, etc.) but it is still displaying this other.

What can I do other than contact support? I've never had this problem before but then this is the first domain where I had the word adult in the url.

Did you try to reset the domain yet? Practically clear it from anything and then set it up again? If that doesn't work, i guess that support is your only option.

Try changing the key words via the "edit keyword" link near the upper left of the domain detail page (not the meta tag key words). I found this can make a huge change in the content on your page - maybe take out the word adult. Every time you do this it resets the template to the version that the system thinks is best for your content - kind of a PIA. So, get the content right first, then set your template choice.

Content is mostly determined by master keyword under your domain title. Change it and you are done.

Parked accepts adult domains.

I had changed the key word and that was what was so weird. On the edit page it showed the right keywords etc. but no matter how many times I saved/updated it didn't display on the page. However now it has changed over so not sure what the delay was all about.

This thread has the momentum of a freight train on steroids sometimes. Noboday noticed this while it kept on rolling. Hope you are feeling better, Donny. It's tempting to ask what happened since you posted, but I don't want to be too nosy. Sounds like it's probably much more serious than an emergency tetanus shot, though. Anyway, happy holidays everyone.

 

[Donny]

Sorry, I guess I didn't ever say why I was at the ER. I had 101 fever on Friday night, on Saturday morning it was up to 102, after some complaining my wife talked me into going to a walk in clinic. I went in and my temperature was 102.5, so they told me to go to the ER. I thought I had the flu, they gave me some long name of what I had, but they gave me 3 shots and an iv and I'm much better now.

It's hard to admit sometimes but wives are always right about this type of stuff.

Glad to hear your feeling better!

Luckily you listened to your wife and went to the clinic. I had a similar experience on December 10th of last year but didn't listen to my wife. I started out with a 102 fever. The next day 103. Then the next day 104. At that point I knew something was seriously wrong so I reluctantly went to the doctor. Sure enough I had pneumonia!! I was out of work for six weeks!! If I would have listened to her on the first day I probably would not have been in that situation.

The point is, you should be thanking your wife that she talked you into visiting the doctor. Believe me, you DON'T want pneumonia! It Sucks!

I hope you and your family have a safe and Merry Christmas! Same goes for every NamePros member!
