Is parking dead?

[mpls]

Hi guys, in your opinion, is parking dead?

Look at my last month screenshot, there are a lot of days with clicks and $ 0 revenue. 3 clicks and $ 0.01....

My stats:
CTR: 1.5% (LOL)
RPC: $ 0.01 (LOL! But only when I'm lucky! Otherwise 3 clicks $ 0!)
RPM: $ 0.11 (Seriously??? 1k user to earn $ 0.11? $ 0.11??)
Last month earning: $ 0.09 (LOL!!!!) .

I suppose I'll move away all my domain from parking companies and redirect them to sedo/uniregistry/afternic landing page.

This situation does not make sense.

The difference would not be that drastic. Maybe 15-20%. And if they get a special rate, they will know it.

well true.. I exagarated with the rate.. but it was just example.. all in all, I hope there is no % difference in examples I gave.
and if there is I hope its not 50%... I guess 10% would be acceptable. not really fair I guess. but.. life is not fair.


cheers

If somebody walks in the door without us knowing who they are we give them a certain revshare. If I personally know them I may give them like 2-3% higher as we already pay a very high percentage by default. We start everybody out above 90%.

There are billions of users, a low percentage probably using ad blocker.

If you consider 25% to 30% low.

I ran an 'adblock detector' script on my high traffic website, and around 25% of visitors were running adblock software.

For some niches (like tech) this number will be much higher. It is not unsubstantial, its completely changing the internet as we know it.... people crying about net neutrality, but people wanting free information but no ads is killing a lot of ad supported content sites too.

Would it help to have static ads?

I also like the option of making Amazon content sites and getting paid in a rev share rather than in PPC. I redirect some names to the sponsors too.

Ad blockers work by finding a common url or path and blocking it. So for example domainpark.cgi and whether that is an ad or not it will block it. Some companies can check to see if you a browser has an adblocker installed and if they do they show something different that isn't blocked. But it's a cat and mouse game. Only one person has to come to your site and see that an ad is being displayed they don't like and they can have that one blocked as well.

You could programmatically change the url every time if you wanted. I have seen that work and that is what facebook has done in a very round about way.

Agree on the inconsistent domain parking performance.
One of my domains seemed to earnings were not tied up to traffic at all. Go figure.

 

[alcy]

wow

the two top ones seem odd..but first one especially..

comments?

u sound like a newbie or something

 

[noneisnone]

@alcy I'm

 

[alcy]

@alcy I'm

I knew it

well the thing about bodis is they are good at banning just those who are guilty.. and they really dont need that much time for it

all the newbie stuff aside..can someone actually say something constructive and explanatory about this stat? I mean is it bots or what?

 

[noneisnone]

@alcy hope you get some answers only time i encountered CTR above a 100% was on google ads
was running a campaign for a client of mine when the competition used bots to click his ad and we got CTR above 100% no idea if that translates over to parking

it seems something weird.. btw i would inform bodis support to keep this event monitored.

if something like that keep happening, chances that your domain will be faillisted are really high.
If the domain become faillisted it's very easy that you will get a chargeback too.

I already seen and got single visitors clicking multiple times, also like 20 or around but never so many like that....
I just got random events that could happens, never got the account banned for that reason because I have a positive revenues streamline and quality traffic.

If you are still using parking service, you're in the wrong business.
The parking business is dead for domain investors for a decade now, still ok with domain parking owners because that's their business.

Develop your domains or send it to your own sales page.

first...isn't it bit contradictory that something be dead for users and profitable for company owners?

second...do u really believe a big forsale banner on top of parked page is not effective or means something different to buyer than the sale page directly...

tnx good points..it kinda got revised to 2 visitors.now..tho not yet finalized.. and epc went down.
making total now 21$

it is weird.. i guess we don't want our names faillisted

but doesnt bodis have elaborate automated filters and code..to catch things that should not be happening?

bodis has this filter but things like these can still happen.

usually yes we don't want our names faillisted but there are faillisted domains that make great revenues and yes I do have names that make better revenues on 2nd tier ads than with tier1.
However it's rare, at least for me.

@alcy
what do you see when you check the performance of that domain on that particular day?
Do you see clicks coming from the same source and/or the same country?

If yes,
it could be some bot or someone trying a software and you happened to be the target. You should also consider the case those clicks to be intentional by someone that wants to mess with you (this happens albeit rarely)

If you have a good history with Bodis you shouldn't be worried about those clicks. The worst that can happen -and the most probable imo- is that they will get filtered out either when the day will finalise or as a clawback at the end of the month.

it is true someone who wanted to get this name and saw it forsale..got peed and started to click.

but it should get readjusted as u say.

all clicks from Netherlands..

type in traffic... mixed terms selected..but mostly..get free bitcoin..

it's a bitcoin name.

guys can an experienced parker like @Hypersot or other plz explain what is this whole thing about dnnsec records..

here is the story..

I accidentally went to my domain btccasino,net

and noticed it does not resolve to bodis.. all my 950names are set to bodis
...I email sav support and they said there is some old ds record making this happen..which of course I never set...
and I should remove it..see foto of their reply..

bodis told me same..is this gonna fix it? where do these come from? how can I now know or check if all my names resolve properly.. sav already found a few that do not.. u guys prolly got names going nowhere for months without knowing ...so no sale lander.. nothing..
