Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

They were seeing a huge amount of fraud from Indonesian accounts. Look back a few pages at Donny's posts.

 

[Donny]

Stroom_accu - I don't have anything wrong with Indonesia, we just aren't accepting any new partners from there as we have recently found a large fraud problem from there. We may open it back up again in the future.

NickRac - Remember that most people who were clicking on "State Bank Of India Credit Card" are from India and using our Ask feed. So looking at Yahoo doesn't help much. As far as chaning your account manager, send me an email to [email protected] and tell me your username, and explain why you want to have a new account manager. I will evaluate your request and let you know.

packrat - This is because that's what people are searching and clicking on. The system learns from what people are looking for. If you want to turn the learning off on the domain, please talk to your account manager about it.

rickkumar - We can't just discard a keyword, our system doesn't work that way. Basically if our system knows that "tampa blog" is about tampa then it's easy, but if it doesn't and only knows "tampa" and "blog" it chooses whichever it feels is the best. And a lot of time it is the last word.

Thanks Donny. That one domain just had me confused as the keywords would
change so fast - usually within 1/2 hour of my manually optimizing. I'll let
it run for a while with the ads your system picks.

For Sale on Parked

I just signed up to test Parked, and am a bit confused as to the best way to show a domain for sale.

I have two questions for those who know:

1) It looks like you can just type in the any text you want to show the name is "For Sale." Is this correct? If so, can you change the font size?

2) I tried one name, but it said I failed to list a URL. I've never had to input a URL before to show a name for sale. Does Parked not automatically forward the inquiry to your email? If I use my own URL, it might be cumbersome for the buyer. Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance for any help...

PS...do any particular templates outperform the others?

Parked has default for sale message that appears below your domain title. You can choose your setup and edit this message at Account Information panel.

EMAILS FOR SALE

on For Sale URL:insert

mailto:

followed by email address

if you leave For Sale Messsage: blank you get the standard

"Please contact us for more information."

 

[Bampa]

OK, got it.

Thanks to John Doe and Johname!

Do you guys also park .mobi domains at parked?

Are the .results good and meet mtld specs?

Thanks.

Can we run a php newsfeed script for some fresh content on Parked?

that would rock.

I feel sort of stupid for asking this question, but what does "Optimize this portfolio" do? :hehe:

 

[harkster]

Ouch!

I understand click adjustments and usually are not a big deal.

But this one hurts. Day before yesterday a Real Estate related name had $0.97 cent clicks whacked to $0.18. Since yesterday has not adjusted yet I fear the same thing happening again. Interesting thing is that the name has had $0.97 clicks before which didn't adjust.

YAHR; I feel slightly better, but still poor now.

 

[biohammer]

Just push the button lol
it allows you to change the keyword and templates for all the sites in that portfolio .. its pretty handy

Bomb in Lap

Is there any further information on the "bomb" that was dropped in Donny's lap a few days ago? What the heck is it all about?

Anyone??

Does parked allow .mobi?

Anyone?

Nothing to worry about for now. Just me overreacting to something that may or may not be something in the end.

The "bomb" has been disfused for now.

Donny, what's with the late final numbers the last couple of days? Seems to be getting later and later lately.

 

[Donny]

Ask has been a pain in the ass. We can't finalize without their numbers.

So that's what we are waiting on.

Donny

 

[madpoet]

Ok, thanks. I miss the good old days of having them around 1pm my time Makes it easier to adjust something if I need to. But as long as my numbers keep going UP after the final total, I won't complain!
