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

[AEProgram]

You will be shocked how many parking pages show a blank if the user has adblock. Over 200 mil users use adblock and even large media companies are seeing a major problem with that.

So get the adblock plugin and test your parking pages

The companies can easily fix this

Actually, when most people install adblock it's not to stop from seeing ads on their normal site, it's to stop some of the crazy sites that have 1000 ads on them. I would bet money you probably have only ever had one person ever see a parked domain and say, I need an ad blocker now!

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.

Some parking companies are in the adblock acceptable ads system.

We keep track of the amount of people who have an ad-blocker installed, how many see the ads, and how many click. The amount that click is actually a lot higher than you would think.

In my case personally I have 4 browsers installed on my machine. Edge, Chrome, Canary, and Firefox. Canary and Firefox I have ad-blocking software installed on. The other two I do not. 95% of my surfing is either in Edge or Chrome which doesn't have an ad-blocker installed.

I agree their is a problem, but we have already addresses it. We are in the ad-block plus acceptable ads program. I pay a fee on a monthly basis so that surfers can see your ads on your domains.

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.

 

[Donny]

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.

Great, props for doing the right thing for the webmasters who rely on you guys!

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.

With "not civilized" you mean "don't agree with me"?

I like the subject, but I think we can all be more friendly here.

And about the 300 million people, it is not as if these people are all visiting your page. It is a small percent of the total active internet users, so revenue should decline with less than 1% I believe.

The question I get from this is: if you see a revenue drop of let's say more than 10% and then make sure you won't show a blank page with ad blockers, will the rev get back up with 10%? I am curious if anyone experienced this.

For me, it would be surprising if ad blockers really take away more than a few percent of the revenue. For Facebook and Google this is obviously a big deal since a few percent is really a lot to them, but for parked pages, I assume it is mostly not that big of a deal (although any money loss is not ideal obviously)

 

[AEProgram]

I have ABP on Chrome and I can see the ads on Bodis parking pages. But regardless of the specificity of setups, the point is:



So @AEProgram , what do you say about the following solution: if your parking revenue is indeed hindered by the AdBlock users, you should simply move to the parking companies that work well with Adblock.

I don't just think about myself, its a nasty habbit I picked up, I know its very not human like, thats why I felt the urge to alert others.

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.

 

[usernamex]

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 ?

 

[dordomai]

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

 

[DNScholar]

So that's the reason for low payout.

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

 

[decades80]

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.

 

[freespeech]

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
