Also.... Instead of sharing your revenue with someone elses Google Adsense account, why don't you set up a few PPC sites and just add a news feed. You can use ppc-sites.com and then just enter this news script code News Script . Plug in your Google Adsense account code and your all set. This way you can keep 100% of the revenue.

I like to see the News Script but the link doesn't resolve. Does anyone
else know where this might be located on NP?

Guys: I think evo sites were de-indexed by google just like all others such as whypark and many other adsense article sites.

Google is doing it to all sites recently that use feeds/articles because of "duplicate content" issues.

Impossible to say - it could be a week or it could be never.

Mark at Evo told me that de-indexing was done because of their system upgrade from version 2 to version 3 recently and now the sites with version 3 are getting re-indexed big time.

We need to wait some more to see what happens!

I have one site that is requiring re-inclusion. I doubt that will be solved by version 3.

A Message from EVO Landing

To clarify our position, we moved all sites admitted on the EVO platform to our v.3 design 2 weeks ago. For those who have seen our latest pages, this is a complete redesign of our previous platform, containing even more unique/relevant content from additional partners, even more means to monetization (CPC+CPM, CPA, CPL), and user-generated capabilities (commenting/forums). Since then, we have gone through a procedural re-indexing of these sites from the search engines. Just like the initial indexing of our v.2 design, the re-indexing process can also take a bit of time but the new structure will be more beneficial in the long run.

Some clients on our system have unfortunately been trying to achieve short term gains by switching back to traditional parking platforms once their sites have gained significant organic traffic (search/return) on the EVO platform. In time, these sites naturally get de-indexed from search engines. When this happens, they switch back to EVO to begin the process again. This is hurtful to the integrity of our system and in the end, these clients will lose out in the long run. To prevent this from happening in the future, any account found "flipping" will be locked out of the EVO Landing platform.

Exclusivity is driven by our vision of creating a next-generation media network using quality domains as the backbone. Our upcoming technology and business partnerships will result in something the Internet has never seen before. This is far beyond the concept of parking or domain monetization or even major portals of today. Clients that understand this vision are the clients were are looking for.

Given the recent events in the parking industry, it is understandable domain portfolio owners are uneasy. But "gossip" is better left for the forums. Consider this our last post in any forums regarding the integrity and strength of the vision and lasting-value of the EVO Landing platform. For those potential/current clients of the EVO platform that believe in life after PPC, our phone line is open to talk.

UPDATE: *We will always support our clients now/future and answer any troubleshooting questions (in the forums) feel free to call anytime to discuss absolutely anything.

- Geoff, Mark, & Daniel.

I hope this will not be your last post on Namepros; there are many people like myself who believe and support Evolanding and will continue to do so.
I was and still impress with the quick response of Mark when one sent in an email – this alone I think all parking companies need to copy.
Your new platform I think is the best in the industry at the moment and I for one hope it gets better and better for us all. Please do not give up on Namepros – I found your name on Namepros before I brought my sites to you.

I'd like to know when moving your domains to where they actually earn some money for the domainer started to be considered flipping. I get that you want a commitment from your clients, but simply put, I earn more from traditional parking.

I really like what you guys are trying to do, and in all honesty I'm still blown away by the pages that you produce, but at the end of the day I still need to pay for registration of names.

I left one domain there to see how things are going and today I get an email asking if you can close my account. Close it if you want. No other company closes accounts due to inactivity to my knowledge. I like what you are trying to do, but I don't like having a gun pointed at my head either.

Good luck with your enterprise and I truly hope that it is a raging success :)

Geoff, Mark, & Daniel -

Was it too difficult to clarify position via blog or email before deindexing? You are professionals and should understand importance of open information. My last emails to Mark didn`t receive any response. How does it look like from customers viewpoint?

I removed some domains, but not to flip them. EVO seems great to me, but competition is out there, some other options are great as well.

I don't think the de-indexing was on their behalf. It happens that like WPark, they happen to be caught in the middle of a change in policy with Google. I too moved most of my domains out figuring that if there are no indexed pages, then there is no current advantages to the content they provide and therefore no reason to have more than a parked site.

The question becomes, whether version 3 will have the ability to regain indexed pages. Evo has stated that the new version displays unique content, I'm not sure if it does or if it is enough to satisfy Google at this time. I would love to hear about this from those more knowledgeable in the field.

As for me, if version 3 can re-index my pages, then I would consider them bringing back, but evo has to be understanding of our concerns and work with us.

My decision to move domains away was based on my stats reporting the same numbers for several weeks and the fact that my sites were de-indexed. I think most of us would react the same.

Evo: You know I have always supported evo and always tried to defend evo at forums because I believed in evo and Mark's great customer service.

Most people got terrified upon sudden decrease in their traffic when all their domains got de-indexed by google. Because evo earnings were only a fraction of the parking earnings, so many people saw no point keeping domains at evo especially after de-indexing by google. Mark, you know I even communicated with you and expressed my concerns and reasons to move out and you said no problem you support whatever decision I make. I then waited few more days and moved out upon de-indexing by google. I kept my names at evo about couple of months at least.

Now I find it very unfortunate that instead of appreciating our patience upon (upon losing indexing of our domains in google that were in google for years much before evo started), evo has posted this crap blaming domainers calling them flippers. Very sad how evo has blamed the very same people who gave it a try and supported it!

I am wondering how a professional company can do this to its clients/members?

Please do not blame domainers for your own faults that have landed good domainers in deep trouble. Its not worth it. You are scaring the heck out of your potential members who will otherwise give you a try.

Help us get our good domains out of this deep crisis that evo has put us in.

Going around blaming domainers and disabling their accounts without admiting and solving your problems is not going to earn evo any goodwill. Evo needs to behave like a sound business, not like a clever politician.

It will be great if you realize what evo has landed us in to this mess and try to help us out getting re-indexed in google. I know my domains were always in google for years, they were not in google because of evo. I am not expecting any thanks for giving you a try when you were new and hurting my earnings and domains.

May we expect some help and support from evo?

I hope evo gets the essense of this message and do what is right.

It also does not show evo's strength by declaring that you won't post or answer anymore on this forum. Why can't evo post here or answer genuine questions from customers in trouble? It does not reflect good on evo to point a finger and hide. It only shows your weakness in my opinion.

PS: I won't have posted this here but calling us flippers is outrageous. We do not deserve this.

Thanks.

Well that was an interesting read ! I just read throught the whole this thread after seeing Evo advertised elsewhere - last post here was 21 Feb - seems like Evo was a good idea that didn't work - and blaming domainers for 'flipping' (i.e. putting their domains where they think they'll make th most money) lol ! That's what domainers do and why wouldn't they. There is another mini-site company that also likes to moan that it's 'customers' aren't worthy of them which seems like an odd tactic to me - perhaps they should moan at Google instead lol.

Anybody making decent money from Evo ?

Same here. Then I sent an email that I was pulling my domains and got a reply pretty quick!

Evo is a Joke IMO, the user interface, the submit process etc. I provided 50 domains as asked to "get approved", after getting approved, they never even told me how to login, how to manage or anything! Waste of mine time really!

That's a pity, as their pages look really good - hopefully some clever folk will come up with something that looks as good but that actually works

It appears Evolanding and my Evolanding domains are down.

Just checked, their site is up. I also just received a check for some earnings from December, which I'm not sure how it was figured out as the control panel never made sense and they blocked my account access.

I'm surprised they're still around as most of the domains hosted with them have probably lost their indexing in Google. At least mine did.

Anyone else getting stats that don't make sense? My stats have never added up. The Reports page shows I made 50 cents so far this month (it's 5/13 today). But then my Dashboard shows I made $1.17 yesterday and $74.13 in the last week. It's always like this, I never can can tell how well I'm doing. What's so hard about adding up numbers?

Also, another question: Are we getting paid just on ad revenue, or also on percentages of products sold on the pages?

slobizman,

I pulled my domains from them. I did recently receive a check, though I never got proper stats from there. It seemed to me that the numbers were always the same. Are your domains still indexed with Google?

A quick check of a half dozen of my names indicates that they are not.

I phoned Mark and he said the reason the numbers are so difficult to compute is because they have so many ad partners, all with different reporting schedules. Other parking companies don't seem to have this problem because they only use one or two revenue feeds. When you look at an EVO site you can see that they do have a lot of income sources being used.

Mark also said V4, which is in the works, will be a big step forward both in reporting and features.

I personally don't mind waiting for my final numbers, as long as the wait means that they will be accurate, and Evo is squeezing every last penny into the figures before posting them.

But the main reason I am sticking with them is that my income was doubling every month between Dec '07 thru Mar '08. Which shows there was potential with their model. I am kind of curious to see if this upward trend will continue, especially after V4.

However, I will say that last month was a big drop in income with only 25% of what the previous month made. Mark said that was again due to their numerous partners as negotiations with them caused fluctuations.

Mark, if you are reading this and I am misquoting you, please correct me.

Oh hey, for some reason the figures for last month jumped today. So that month is no longer showing a 75% decrease in revenue but a instead a 50% increase! Nice. I guess there were still some unaccounted for partners that needing to be calculated in. Works for me!

This also means that I hit the payout point. Mark told me I should see an email when that happens with instructions on how to receive the funds. If all goes well I will post here that they are indeed paying out good $$$. :tu:
