Fabulous Parking Question

[nettidings]

Anyone familiar with Fabulous Parking? I've a couple of dumb newbie questions.

A couple days ago I moved some domains to Fabulous Parking. Most of the names were assigned a Premium 5 Lander which gave me a choice of either Standard or Graphic Design. I couldn't find a description about the Standard and Graphic choices in their FAQ - Can anyone tell me what the difference is between Standard or Graphic Design? Is one preferable for certain domains and the other better for other types of domains?
Also -
The ads being displayed on the pages now are appropriate to the subject of the name but in the control panel the domain names are followed by - Premium 5.0 Lander (Ads: Pending). What does that indicate?

TIA, nettidings

Beats me. Their control panel seems to have loads of great features that don't do anythng at all.

I've tried changing between Premium and Plus to see which is the best, changing between Standard and Graphic and nothing makes any difference at all to the parked page.

I just leave them on Auto Optimize and hope for the best.

I really like the Fabulous Plus Lander. You can click on the Customize icon, then do all sorts of things. You can pick from a number of layouts, then change colors and images.

It is a very good tool!

Hi nettidings,

The difference between Fabulous 5.0 graphic vs standard is the design. The graphic option gives a image based header, whilst the standard is just a plain landing page.

I would recommend upgrading all domains to the new Fabulous+ pages.

If your domains are showing "Ads: Pending" you should contact your Account Manager and request approval for the Premium ad feed.

Let me know if you don't have a dedicated Account Manager and I'll put you in touch with one.

Cheers,

Mike, can you clarify Fabs position on traffic in two areas? Do they allow arbitrage traffic purchased from Google or Yahoo etc as Parked.com does? Does Fab allow you to point names in the same topic to one name so to aggregate that traffic?

Hi OutlawBiker,

I made a post back in August that clarifies Fabulous' position on various traffic sources. You can find the post here.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thanks to everyone who responded and I do agree that Fabulous is great!

Hi Mike,

Thank you for your response to my questions. It definitely sounds like the graphic header option is better than the standard. Yes, I do have an Account Manager who has (like all Fab employees!) been very courteous and professional. Since the domains have said "Premium - Premium 5.0 Lander (Ads: Pending)" for several days I thought they had already been approved for the Premium Feed and I didn't want to bother him needless if is something that would be addressed in due time.

I feel like I've probably asked really idiotic questions here, but I do thank you for your helpfulness. I'll contact my Account Manager as you suggested.

Is there some slippery slope I'm missing here, that nobody ever wants to come out and say in plain English "Yes, you can use Google AdWords or MSN adCenter to drive traffic, as long as your ads are not misleading about what will be found on your domain" or "No, we don't want you using PPC to drive traffic to your parked domains." Mike from Fabulous, maybe it's just me, but I didn't find your previous post about "good traffic" directly addressed the question that was asked of you about whether or not it's acceptable to use PPC.

 

[Mike Robertson]

I'm sorry if I did not clarify our position by my previous post. In response to the question, at this time we do not allow arbitrage traffic to be sent to domains on our parking program.

Thanks. It's good to have things spelled out clearly.
