ADEGRO explains...
Thanks netmeg for informing us about this thread
Well, we're gonna try to explain some points:
What's the sense of ADEGRO?
The sense of ADEGRO is to offer a PR and positioning safe parking service.
How does it work?
ADEGRO parking customers define the domains to be parked in their user area or give us an Excel sheet (downloadable from our website) for a
mass setup of domains. The
site name, claim, sections, navi points, keywords, contact details, outbound links etc. to show up on the parking domains can be defined freely. Then they simply put a small set of ADEGRO's php files on their domains and the site defined before will show up. ADEGRO uses a simple inclusion command, the site is then generated server-sidedly and put out to browser.
Does it work?
It does. It is beeing translated at this moment the latest news on the last PR update:
NO ONE of the domains parked with ADEGRO has lost a point of its PR. 32 % have
won one more PR point since parked. Furthermore, the domains parked with ADEGRO have not lost their traffic (which, in contrary to sites that have never been active, is not only type-in one).
The difference to usual parking services
Domains parked with ADEGRO carry
entire websites instead of contentless link collections. Parking sites show up with
own outbound links, freely defined site sections and
freely defined keywords for each site section. Using usual parking services and their DNS or even URL-based redirect usually
lead to a complete loss of the PR and the traffic.
CTR and revenues
Up to today, the ADEGRO parking sites' average CTR is about 4 times better than the one of ex. sedo. ADEGRO pays out 80% of the revenue (in contrary to German sedo that pays out 50%).
Contents
As said before, all the site sections may be named freely and sets of keywords can be defined for each section and the start page. The contents of each parking site's page are chosen server-sidedly from a very huge database and are then showing up according to these settings. They are
NEVER the same, nor stolen, copied or anything like that. Real contents, targeted staightly to the site name, the section names and keywords chosen.
Hosting: yes, you definitely need one. In Europe, domains that do not have a hosting, are pretty rare. ADEGRO is dedicated to domainers who want to
keep the domain's value while parking it. A domain, that has no host, may have its value from the naming, the length and all these points, but it will never have any PR nor some results on the engines.
ADEGRO is currently thinking about offering free hosting to US customers. We are trying to find out, if US domainers have the possibility to change the DNS with ex. GoDaddy to a small webspace on our servers (the files to put on the domain are of ~ 50 KB). Thanks to anybody who can give us advice...
AdSense: yes, we are using it. So far, we have not seen any other PPC solution paying better. If anyone knows one...
Forum: that's right
We hope to have been able to explain a little bit of what we are doing.
Cheers
