Ok...just read on DNF that it was indeed a DDOS attack. We'll be credited for loss of revenue.

Hi Everyone! :)

I apologize for my absense from this forum. Things have come up in my personal life and did not have a lot of time to come here and offer support as in the old days.

I am hoping to be here again on a daily basis, however I am looking to hire dedicated account managers that can be here in case I can't in the future.

Recently we've had a DDOS or a "misconfigured botnet" attack our servers without end. One of the more severe cases I've seen and I was not equiped to handle such a spike in incoming traffic. After a certain period, we simply disconnected our servers from the web until I figured out a plan to mitigate the attack.

I am hoping this attack does not return, but I cannot guarantee that if it returns it will be automatically mitigated. To fully fix these issues in the future requires a bit of an investment (both financially and time).

I have went ahead and credited for any missing revenue during the attack.

Here are answers to previous questions:


Some of my domains at Bodis are set partly to zero click. I still didnt get respond from Matt. I believe low quality traffic is set to zero click to earn at least some cents per day and good traffic from G20 is experiencing a parked page. Some domains have 0 clicks but lets say 0.02 USD in the morning from single visitor, BUT later I get click for lets say 0.31 USD on a very same domain. So I believe they are optimized so, to earn the maximum out.

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

But I find zero clicks positive... Ive had a domain in gambling, which was getting 0.01 USD per click at others parking industries leaders. It was getting clicks really seldom. But its now set on Bodis on zero click and I am getting 0.06 USD from a single visitor. So it really matters if you have good keywords when the domain is set to zero click, or its just interesting for the advertisers.

We set the keywords for ZeroClick and optimize for the highest paying, so we do all the work on this. :tu:

As far as revenue without clicks, this would indicate ZeroClick. We only set ZeroClick on domains that are banned by G. My strong belief is that future of parking is ZeroClick only. And we rarely ever display PPC ads on domains that are banned by G.

i also hate when they show zero click and ZERO revenue but many visits

This would mean that your visitors are not going anywhere but seeing a page with no ads or not clicking on the ads.

We do not give ANY traffic away for free. We have a minimum price that every ad provider / advertiser has to pay before we redirect the traffic. We receive bids in real time so we are able to determine if we want to send the traffic to the advertiser in real time.

A common misconception is that you are seeing a redirect for your geo/computer, but most your visitors may not be. Especially if they are from a different region where we may have no coverage.


We've been doing ZeroClick for nearly 2 years now on banned domain names. It is not something new, we simply increased the level of ZeroClick for a few weeks in July. But I have returned it to original levels.

The one thing that I will be adding is the for sale banner, even on ZeroClick pages. Currently ZeroClick is enabled on a very small % of domain names.



I hope to be here again every single day to offer good customer support and am in process of hiring an account manager to assist me as well. :tu:


Now time to read and reply to the gazillion unread PMs that I need to follow up on. :'( :p


Please feel free to ask any questions. I'd be happy to answer. :)

Good to see you back, Matt. And that you have (hopefully) resolved the problems.

Having trouble with template settings! No matter what template I set, it is the same template-does not change! Does this have something to do with the outage or attack described? Wonder if it has affected my traffic, as traffic has dwindled to nothing. Another thing a noticed in earnings report is: Country "(name of the country)" Visitors "0" Clicks "0". If the country name is listed, isn't it at least 1 visitor?

Matt once said that people usually complain when their earnings are not good, but don't come to compliment Bodis when earnings are good.

I haven't been paying much attention to my parking over the past months, but decided to log in to my Bodis account today...

Earnings are up significantly on a particular domain!! Earnings in July were double the usual, and thus far for August (24 days) it's up 3 times the usual!!

ctr is up, ecpm up!! :$:

So I have come here to say, thanks! Whatever Matt is doing at Bodis is really working!! :tu:

I am not a big player in parking, but this is certainly great for those who are!

:wave:

Perhaps i am wrong but does this have something to do with the zero click feature ?

This does happen to a few of my names but they were banned by google previously so maybe that is the only choice for mine, nice if matt showed his face in this thread more like he said he would

I do have the same. Not only for those domains banned by Gooogle, but for all of my domains. I could not review what is the template is now but just pick one by six sense :|

I just checked all the domains in my Bodis account and found over 300 old domains in somebody else's account. This is not a mistake by me. I highly recommend you try adding all your domains to your Bodis account again to see if anybody else is experiencing the same as me. I've turned off Bodis as a parking provider until this is settled.
