advice If you have seen a major drop in parking revenue read this

I dont see your point to keep up posting this kind of threads. There are still plenty of users without ads blocker. If somebody would like to have ads blocked I see no point in showing them ads on a parked page.

You don't see a problem with adblockers, maybe explain that to the largest publishers out there as they do see a problem with it including FB and others.

Parking pages are the least intrusive type of ads, they are not heavy graphics and auto play video ads etc.

You don't see my point? Who are you to have to see my point exactly? I am addressing an issue that is causing people with good domains that get typins or other traffic to lose a ton of money. Obviously if you have shit domains you should not even bother parking your pages.

The companies who offer parking revenue can change a small thing and it will help their users financially.

As far as I can see, your posts are left empty, as I can see no support from other members. I am still getting my good XX USD clicks and havent noticed any decline in the past months. I just dont see point of ad blocker, if it doesnt block 100% of the ads. Who are you to judge which ads are the least disturbing anyway???

Money talks.

Adsense and Adwords show up with my adblock running these days. Considering most parking companies use their ad feed, you'd think they would have included parking feeds in the deal too.

At a guess I'd say parking revenue isn't enough for Google to care. It's Google you need to lobby and not the parking companies, sure they can change their code but then one update from adblocking providers and it's back to square one.

Google is so powerful that they will do everything to not get their ads blocked.

You seem to take it very personal.

Let's recap

I post a fact that some of the more popular parking systems show up as blank pages if users have adblock installed

I post a fact that hundreds of millions of internet users use adblock

You show up and take offense that I point out these facts. When in fact you should be happy that someone is bringing it to the attention of companies so they can fix the problem and get their parking pages to show ads.

I do not own an adblock company, I do own sites that are showing up as blanks for people with adblock.

I am an Ad Block superuser. In addition to standard ABP, I use greasemonkey and userscripts to customize. I have my setting tweaked so high, sometimes I am blocking stuff I actually want to see (non-ads that are filtered by mistake)

It took me a couple months to figure out when I was visiting sites of members on NP that they actually did have something there, I though it was odd that so many domainers would have their sites go to a blank page!

So if anyone wants to know how their sites show up for me, I can do screenshots and see if any parking companies are better than others.

That is ?

When I had Comodo Firewall installed and was using their DNS they would block access to parked pages.

So that's the reason for low payout.

exactly, try gd parking pages or uniregistryand many others

hi-i need some help with this. before i take the time to change nameservers to sedo's-i could swear the last time i had some names parked with sedo-when i checked them-and i used mozilla-they would resolve to a blank page. then i would use chrome-and i could see the parked page with content. i dont have any ad-blocker software installed on my computer. i checked mozilla settings and the only thing that is enabled is 'block pop ups'. has anyone else had this experience? thanks

Sorry, my tone is sometimes bad even at the times, I do not want to use it as such. I just think that if the PC are allowed to change the code to show the ads on parked pages, they would already do so. But actually I am not an expert, I just see in my ubuntu if I dont install the updates in real time the parking pages go blank and Ive never installed ad blocker.

disregard my question. answered. thanks

This conversation is heading into an interesting direction.

A few months ago I had came up with an idea of selling "a text link area at the top of the pages" directly to the interested advertisers (This will replace the "Buy This Domain" links. A new page will open when a user clicks this link and he/she will be directed to the advertiser's site. Google ads will keep on showing on the main page.). I think parking companies should gather and lobby for this at Tier1 feed providers since we are handing in our valuable digital assets (domains) to the mercy of the "Tier1 feed providers" but they are being blocked leaving us without the proceeds.

A parking company can run a marketplace for such a business plan and the advertisers can purchase those "text link" areas. In return the parking company can also make additional bucks by charging commission out of this transaction from the domain owner.

I think this adblock crisis can be used to develop such a new business plan....

I have a way better idea but within those lines, it will make domainers money

Some parking companies are in the adblock acceptable ads system.

Another reason is sometimes you get clicks but no $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Wierd!

I don't agree
@decades80 actually has a point (despite presented in a bit aggressive manner, it's still a valid point). Afaik ,you *did* create two threads with the same subject, it's only normal for some people to question that.

regarding adblocks,
Adblocking is not news, adblocks exist for years now (I personally use noscript since... forever)

The latest drop in traffic has nothing to do with adblocking. I know of what you speak but the news is not the adblocks themselves rather than the industry deciding to do something about it.. *that's* the news.

I strongly believe that there is something else happening since the drop in revenue -in the 2+ years I do parking- happened both times around Mar-Apr.
The problem though is not the 'seasonal' drop. The problem is that this drop is not temporary , it actually stays that way for the rest of the year and next year we see again another drop... :/

I spend hours analyzing the stats I get from above.com and there *is* actually a pattern with some parking services. All I can say though is that voodoo -despite not being my best performer- is the only absolutely stable parking service I have ever used. There are drops -sure- but they always come back and stabilize.

Just a final note,
when I read that someone has an idea that will give money to people, for some reason I get cautious.. no idea why.

I closed that first thread many weeks before I started this one, that one was in the general forum section and got no replies.

You say adblock is not new and you knew about it a long time, why does it matter? Who cares what you knew how long?

You say adblock dont matter, you study things and know it all. I think Facebook and google have better experts than you studying things, they say it does matter, forbes and many leading publishers says it matters, you thou with your limited amount of traffic says it doesn't, seriously why should anyone care what you have to say? You seem like some egotistical fool that cannot respect those who have tens of millions of dollars at their disposal just to study the effects of adblock.

Besides, the numbers makes sense, ig you have over 200 million people surfing the web that will not see any data say on gd parking pages or unireg parking pages, it only makes sense there will be less clicks and revenue.

Your comment about a possible solution for webmasters to make money makes no sense at all, the web is full of creative solutions including many parking techniques. Your are suspicious once again because you cannot respect anyone else at all.

Adblock is a problem, webmasters are losing money, webmasters need to know about this and alert the parking companies, arguing with these facts is idiotic.

I have posted now 1000 messages, I rarely need to use that tone, however, when someone like yourself comes along and shows complete disregard to facts and makes statements that are not civilized, I respond in exactly the same way.

You will have to learn to show respect if you wish to get respect, learn that quickly please.

And as a reminder, if 200 million people cannot see a link, you have 200 million people less who can click on a link.

Simple math that made sense even in 3000BC.

Hi Donny,
Since you own a parking company and directly interact with the domainers (which is highly appreciated and we expect the same from the other parking companies as well), I was wondering what would be your input about the following idea.

Pls be honest and say "stupid idea" If it is really a stupid idea. I dont take is offensive. You know this business inside out and I respect your expertise in this area.

Actually, based on our count, it's not 200 million people who use adblocking software. It's 200 million people who have it installed. There is a big difference.

@NitroJunkie, the amount of clicks that happen on a for sale or other text link are so small. Our contracts with the ad providers are a lot more important than a few pennies. In the case of both Yahoo and Google, from my understanding they can be the only advertising on a page at a time. So combining the two would not be possible.
