PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[sihar07]

My average CPC dropped to $0.03 from this payment period.... Is this dropping is for me only? Or also for you? ... That is really bad situation

Don't worry, its not just you.. mine even at 0.01 (india traffic) usually at 0.08

This is not true. It's because you live outside US that when you visit one of your domains you see the meanwhile pages. US visitors to your website see whatever US visitors see. I'm in the same boat. I've asked Donny if Parked could show some kind of Preview of what US visitors see, but I guess he doesn't see this as important enough.

I think that what he meant by

All my domains go through "meanwhile". In my case its because I live outside of the USA.

Still. US visitors see something different to what we see when visiting our parked pages

i have up + 0.04 average per click, in this pay period for europe traffic

When Donny comes back I would suggest PARKED slowly starts moving the way of the "mini-site" parking companies (such as evolanding, etc.); with the bi-monthly payouts and experience of the Parked.com team this should be a REAL Win-Win solution for ALL! :tu:

That would be nice. It may keep (and increase) their visibility in the SE's.

Use this proxy to view pages as the US visitor sees them

Is there a proxy to view how the sites look from outside the US?

With the loss of clicks due to the arb ban coupled with the falling RPM/RPC Parked must really be hurting. I'm sure my portfolio is crap compared to many
other of Parked's members but if there is a drop in RPC across the board then
even the good portfolios must be moving elsewhere, at least to test other companies. This has got to hurt Parked even more.

I for one really don't want to take any domains away from Parked mainly because of their great support and also the features they offer to make
customizing/optimizing pages so easy. But I'm going to have to try out some
other companies looking for better RPC. But of course the drawback is that
if other companies don't allow the same latitude in optimizing pages you may
get a higher RPC but lower CTR.

My CTR at Parked was always 70-90%. Now down to 30%. That may sound good to some but not many visitors to .ca domains!

I'm not greedy - I just want to make enough per month to pay off my car loan

The proxy that Avo19 mentions works fine from here. I sometimes use miaoweb.net.

I would be curious to know what people in the US see of the following 2 sites:

cholesteral.info and famouslawyers.info Does "meanwhile" appear?

Looks like it's only part of a word and I'm not sure what the word is but it has a very low AVG search volume in the U.S

Looks like something to do with refinancing........Maybe

It does mean LOAN..........sorry for the wrong answer earlier

Link hear........ http://babelfish.altavista.com/tr

 

[panterrasbox]

Too cloudy in north Texas to see the eclipse - and we stayed up late just for that reason (oh yeah, and also to be on the Internet )

Could see it beautifully here; a great big red ball. I was planning on taking pictures, but at 10PM, it was 3° F and I went out to look and came right back in to watch Law & Order. Too cold for a moondance!

Same here. It was a full eclipse at about 4AM, temperature about 55-60º F, not a cloud in the sky, in fact it was picture perfect. I didn't take pictures this time because I took some the last time we had a full eclipse about 3-4 years ago, but I should have!

Yea, looks like arbitrage got eclipsed by the weather.

I'm still closing up. Higher than normal too.

I'm assuming it's b/c of more competition for less clicks driving the price up since arb. was canceled ; and, maybe a better quality of clicks are left now that the dust has settled and now these clicks are getting noticed.

Anyone else seeing the surge at Parked ?
