Dub.io - A new tool for parking your domains

[Kevin Johnson]

Hi guys,

My name is Kevin, been following this forum for quite awhile, but joined because I wanted to share a news. I am a VP of product at Dub.io, which is a small tool that our team has been building for a few weeks.

We wanted to see if we can create a new (and hopefully better) domain parking tool. We've named ourselves "Dub.io" - nice and short. It works like this.

1. Sign-up and you will get a website - to which, you can of course point your domain to. However, if you don't want to, that's ok. We will give you a Dub.io sub-domain.
   
   
2. Once that's done, you can start "populating" the site with contents. This can come from RSS feeds, YouTube videos or just from the web articles. Dub.io takes care of automatically crawling these and inserting into your site.
   
   
3. Each content can also be automatically tweeted to your designated Twitter account (this will usually bring more traffic and also get you some followers). You can also set up so that it's automatically posted to Blogger or Tumblr sites too.
   
   
4. And of course, you can monetize it. Right now, we allow you to insert your own Google AdSense ads and VigLink code. The best part? You keep all the revenue generated from your sites. We don't take anything.
   
   
5. Each site is all responsive to different screen-sizes. We try to include a variety of media types like images and related videos so contents are more engaging. Right now, we are in a "testing" phase, so everything is free! We would love for you to come and check us out and let me know if you have any questions.

Would love to discuss via this thread or if you have any questions, you can email me at hello @ dub.io

Thank you so much for your time guys.

@adamson791 I've made a small change to your site's ads so VigLink is now working correctly. Basically, VigLink is a "side-wide" ad, which only needs to be included once and it will be applied to all of your pages.

I can see the VigLink is applying its links to your site. If you go to your site's homepage, you will see that some posts have links with grey-dotted underlines. Those are the links generated by VigLink. You can right click on it and see that it's been generated by VigLink because it has "viglink" class applied to it.

In terms of how exactly VigLink displays these links, you'll need to read up more on how VigLink works.

We are also documenting all these steps so that it won't be too confusing in the near fuure.

Let me know if you have any other issues!!

Thanks - I can see it working now and now clear on what the issue was. You're a star for responding back so quickly!

@Kevin Johnson - Could you please check filters for me? On my futuradomain.com site, I have a filter to NOT post or tweet MMA content, yet it still get through. I put it in there because these posts from MMAnuts keep getting through, even with just MMA in the content, and I don't want them. Thanks.

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@Kpett Just applied the filters and it seemed to work ok. I'll look into it as to why it wasn't applied the first time.

Thanks again @Kevin Johnson It's been a couple weeks of adding domains. I noticed that goo gle has actually already indexed a few pages on some, at least one on the newer ones.

Has anybody else here on this thread checked goo gle "site:domainname.com" to see if they have their pages indexed or not? If so, what is the maximum? I have one with 7 pages indexed. 2 of which were the news, the other 5 were standard dub site info.

@offthehandle

We actually use Dub ourselves for parking our own domains and we have had all of our sites fully indexed. I just checked one of my site and it has about 5,000 pages indexed by Google.

One way to accelerate is to submit the site map through Google Webmaster. Setting up Google Webmaster can be done via Dub and you can also find the site map to submit on Dub too (via 'analytics' section).

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@Furquah You can turn off reddit for each keyword by clicking on them on and un-checking 'reddit' on the keyword via your admin panel.

 

[Kpett]

I just checked one of my sites - appleinews.com - it has 17 pages listed ... the main page and then a sign in and create an account pages, then 13 news items, and then a GoDaddy parking page.

The main page listing comes first, but Google shows this for the meta description:

Please type in your email address and we will send you an email with an instruction on how to reset your password. Email. Log in. My Account. Username. Email.

So I'm guessing none of this is getting ranked very high ...

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

damn I had this same idea! Beat me too it! I'll still come out with mine though. Good luck with yours!

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@Kpett

A few things

1. You're right. Meta tags have not been properly filled out for the homepage - just fixed this. It will be re-indexed by the Google bot the next time around. We'll also look at the meta tags for all other pages and fix them.

2. Have you added your site map on Google Webmaster? Rather than waiting for Google to find all your pages, you can add them using the site map provided by Dub - it's in the "analytics" settings.

3. The listing is in no particular order - I guess you have to do something like "self-driving car site:appleinews.com" then you'll get relevant contents from your site.

Could anybody give advice about where to get Ad-links from? Or how to get started with that, what to read to understand the basics of this? Honestly tried searching the forum, but when you don’t know what to look for it is hard to find it.

A while ago there was the option to have ads automatically set up at dub.io, but since this is gone I am stuck. Not understanding how to actually getting an advertising link stops me from trying out dub_io more, which I actually would love doing, since so far it is fun and it looks promising.

I tried to signup at PropellerAds, but couldn’t even sign up because my site at dub_io was not considered a valid URL, it seems.
Google Adsense would be the first thing to come to my mind, but I think I was reading somewhere (here at NP), that this would not be a good idea or not even allowed in that case or similar.

Is anybody using Google Adsense on a dub io site?
What other ad services are you using with success at dub io?

 

[adamson791]

Im trying viglink aswell as a few affiliate links. Give viglinks a try.

 

[Kevin Johnson]

@PostProduction Sorry for the late reply and.. my apologies for things not being clear yet. We are in the middle of documenting everything so that our users have better idea on how to get going.

In terms of adding ad items, you can add any type of advertising items - this could be Amazon affiliates, yllix ads etc. Here are some advertising partners you can take a look at.

https://stream-seo.com/best-google-adsense-alternatives/

Can you give me which URL you typed in to ProperllerAds? I'll take a look at it as to why it was not a valid URL.

You can add Google AdSense, provided that the items displayed are submitted manually and original content. But above URL should give you a host of alternatives to Google AdSense.

Like @adamson791 said, you can definitely give VigLink a go.

If you have any questions, please do let me know - you can PM me, or email me directly [email protected]

Thanks in advance.

Once you get your content monetized, which is very easy, You will see some results, I flip my ads on and off , from one to another, I had 74 clicks to a VPN provider i am affiliated with, Out of those 74 clicks, 27 bought a monthly subscription, I am now on monthly residual autopilot of $125 a mo, just off that one affiliate.

The DUB.io platform allows for you to upload your PPC, Affiliate, Intext and ect , with the ability to add multiple providers and rotate them from site to site as you wish, In a couple of minutes of your time.

It is a fantastic superb platform, Patience when setting up is key, It doesn't take long to acclimate and learn the power of the platform, I am still learning, but selling in the process as well.

And, one of the best things that DUB.io offers, Name growth, i mine for domains with age and history, so hand reg and mining is my niche, DUB gives me a great boost in increasing the value of my hand reges, The growth at DUB is 10X faster than using a parking page platform, DUB feeds and waters my names daily for me, Indexing, social media and ect.

I parked 2 domains but after 2 days, they don't resolve. I used nameservers ns1.dub.io and ns2.dub.io , is this correct ? I checked with WHOIS and the nameservers are showing OK. What could be wrong ?

 

[Kevin Johnson]

hi @Asfas1000 I'll PM you directly and help you resolve this.

Hi Kevin
Was going thru this thread and found it very interesting. That is a great product that you have introduced. I have diverted one of my parked domains to Dub.io, just to try it out.
www.FallingHairSolutions.com

I was having some issues and thought I should share it:

1- When a user clicks on the RSS Feeds on the Navigation Panel, it displays some HTML coding. Could you please check whether this is a problem for all, or is it happening only on my browser (using Chrome)

2- Is there some option, if I do not want the RSS Feeds to display on the Home Page along with my Key word based content ? I had earlier started of only with the Keyword based content which displays on the homepage ( I use the Capitol OR Paris Themes) . As soon as I added my first URL Feed in the RSS section, it filled the homepage with 25 feeds / articles immediately above the other Keyword based content and I felt my home page lost that Visual appeal which it had when only the Keyword based content was being displayed. Do you suggest it would be ok, if we do not display the RSS feeds on the home page since we already have a separate link in the navigation bar for it and users could always click on that whenever required (This is just my opinion / suggestion)

3- I signed up with Yllix.com yesterday. I have already created diff.types of Ad units and linked them under the monetization area. When I go to the website, I have noticed that 90% of the time there is partial display of the adv. I mean, It just shows the empty placeholders with some ads displaying the Download button but other portions of the Ad unit are transparent. Is that a problem from my side (browser , or maybe something else??) OR I should wait for a few more days and Ads will slowly start getting populated??

4- I am trying to sign up with VigLink since yesterday. It accepts my email address and gives a message that you will receive an email confirmation within few minutes, but eventually nothing comes in. I have tried it out 4-5 times using different browsers (including my mobile). Is it a prob. from VigLink side?anybody else facing similar issues?

Apologies for the long post
Thank You for the patience
