Hi @Donny ,

I must say that Voodoo is doing an awesome job about monetizing the traffic. However I strongly feel certain lack of in-depth analysis that are available through Google Analytics.

So my suggestion is: How about enabling users put a single line of Google Analytics code, or even the ID to their portfolio? First, it will put a lot of pressure off from your shoulder about improving the reporting features and you can simply put your focus on better monetization. I, and hopefully you too, are aware of a lot of domainers who just put their domains on simple page only to further dig about their traffic. With this move, you can attract that big chunk of users and their traffic. You will also have the first mover advantage (Hopefully - as DOPA has already implemented it and Matt too is thinking about implementing it).

If you are concerned about people wondering about the difference between internal reports and GA reports, you can put a big disclaimer that it may differ due to reporting technology. Alternatively, you can start a trial run with only a few pros (Like for users with x amount of traffic, or x number of domains in their portfolio).

What do you guys think?

I think it is a great idea!
I do not understand why the feeds are always negative when they have to provide information or option to add more transparency with the portfolio owners..

I believe Google is afraid that ""arbitrage people"" would misuse the info. IMO.

 

[Donny]

Yes. That is the biggest issue. Is not normal people being able to find out stuff, it's abusers finding out information.

Abusers can and still play with the help of parking company's official numbers. As long as they get revenue numbers, the possibility is always there. So Adding more transparency will help the needful users more than the abusers IMHO.

Donny

I agree more with webm, i know that abusers could use it to get advantage also do not provide any info (neither in private for experienced customer) is like if my boss do not provide my working tool just because he has fear that I can steal those or use 4 non working needs.
All this just to improve things and not to complain

How many domains do I need to qualify for a Voodoo account?
I tried to register in the past and was rejected. Do you have to have super high traffic domains?

At least 10 domains have more than 6 months year old.

 

[Asfas1000]

A feature I would like to see is "minimum RPC". If an ad pays less than this, it should not show. There's no point in collecting $0.01 per click. In this case, one would better focus on sales and un-park the domain entirely.
"Minimum RPC" would be on a per domain basis and optional.

 

[Donny]

Asfas1000 - This would be not very easy to do. It's an interesting concept, but really something that you would have to do yourself.

I understand. Problem is when a domain receives both high and low value clicks - in this case unparking it is no solution.

 

[bakintek]

when will it final and paid?

 

[qmintek]

when will it final and paid?

I think on Mar 30 or 31.

 

[Donny]

It should be the 30th is everything works as expected.

Donny

 

[Asfas1000]

Donny, regarding chargebacks, is it possible to know which domain(s) are causing them ?

 

[Donny]

Asfas1000 - We normally don't get a specific domain that a chargeback happened on, but in most cases, a domain will get faillisted/blocked. If that happens you usually know that is the domain that was the culprit.

[jlocool]

really voodoo is the best ever
love to be part of it
thnx alot donny for every thing you do for us all
best luck man

I just got paid $5.97 for a search on a parked domain. I'm totally lost how these work. Some days I see searches on domains and no revenue, other times I see searches and I get revenue. 1 single search yesterday means I'll now be renewing this domain for another year.

Why is it Voodoo pays for some searches and not for others?

I'm certainly not complaining! But it seems totally arbitrary from a glance at my stats when I do and don't get paid for them. Great service all round. I've moved all my domains there and I haven't looked back.

 

[johname]

You don't get paid for a search

A search can be a typing in the search box or going to a related link

The $5.97 was probably one of those clicks that didn't register in click column, but is a visitor going to a sponsored ad
