Global parking situation

[pablohc86]

hi folks!
i want to open a discussion about the global situation about domain parking.
IMHO there isn't a better parking company to park a domain but each one service has it's niche. but i don't want to talk about this.
I want to discuss about the efficiency of parking nowadays.. During last 2 months i obtained a drastical loss in revenues due to the rpc.. Am I the only one that i found this thing or the world global economic chrisis is reducing again the rpc for our ads?
there are some green niche with again good rpc and ctr?

Oct & Nov were my best months ever, of all time, in 5 yrs of parking. So I'm not seeing the same as you.

October also for me is the best month of ever. In which niche did you have your best result? And with which parking company?

The world economy isn't the problem.It doesn't cost anything for people to look at and click ads... it's the worlds search engine and the worlds ad provider [one and the same]and that companies policies with regard to parked domains that control the results in this business.

Parking Died!

My parking died about 6 months ago, I used to make at least $15/20 pcm. Now about $2.00 I do not know what happened I am so not happy. I have some quite good domains. I did here that Google had made some changes around the time it died, but as I have not been around NamePros much of late, I have lost touch!

where do you park co2?

I use Above.com and split my parking between bodis/domainsponsor/voodoo. At this moment in time bodis is my best provider with almost 50% of the total revenue. so if I had to pick one, I'd choose bodis.

I would bet that co2 is using a Yahoo/Bing feed parking company. I experienced even harsher than the 90% drop he experienced with my Yahoo/Bing feed.

Even Donny from Parked (Yahoo/Bing Feed) is promoting his Google Feed parking company now, Voodoo.com. He never ever mentions Parked anymore. For good reason, imho.

Hey Stu,

And is Bodis still ahead of others in Dec for you?

thank

Dec-11 is running at rates which will break all my existing records. Bodis is down as a percentage because of 2 days at Domain Sponsor, which provided 2.5 times my usual daily income.

Help Needed Please

Hi Guy's, I use Seoparking.com which as you probably know, uses Google ads. Most of my domains used to rank P1, usually in the top 5! I have also found that when you search for them in Google now, there are other domains pretending to be mine. I have written to Google about it several times, no response! It’s like someone found out which ones were making money, and then took my revenue! Am I allowed to post them in a thread without getting into trouble? So maybe someone can give me an insight in to how I can fix this problem, and get my revenue back!!! Thanks all in advance Co2.

Sedo is one of the worst payers for parking. They pay peanuts and only pay for the first click. After that first click they keep all the revenue for themselves. I'm surprised you ever had any good revenues.

If you want my opinion, I'd switch all my parked domains to use Above.com and use bodis and voodoo (who both have relatively low thresholds for being accepted for an account). You are almost guaranteed to improve your revenue 4 fold at least. If you only want to deal with one parking company, from my experience that would be bodis, because voodoo is still new, but showing promise.

Thanks’ for your input stub, but I do not think that what you are saying about Seoparking is correct. You use your ad feed code from whoever, and you get all the revenue. They do have some linked pages, and that is how they make their revenue. As I said previously other domains are pretending to be mine, they are not showing up at all, nowhere to be seen. I will shoot them of an email, I’ll post the response. Can I post the domains so you could give me some feedback please, Thanks’ Co2.

Oops! Sorry. I though you were referring to Sedo Parking, but I now see it's SeoParking, of which have no experience. Sorry for the confusion.

I'm not sure if against the rules or not to post the domains, but if you PM them to me, I'll try to see what you are talking about.

 

[co2]

Thats ok stub, I did not spot the error untill I had posted either. I will PM U in the next day or so, thank's again Co2.

with your configuration: above with bodis + other.. could you earn more than the annual fee of each domain? if yes how many times (average value)?
