PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Mike]

I wonder why this thread is practically asleep today :zzz: . Is it because everyone is having a great day in the revenue department?

GIL

Not quite, i just quit wondering about it as it seems that there isn't a thing i can do to change it. Traffic/CTR is even worse than yesterday...then again, today isn't over yet and i hope that Tues/Wed/Thu i'll see the really good numbers again.

GIL

maybe because not everyone feels the need to post when there is a minor fluctuation in parking revenue

I don't bother to fill the Meta-Keywords Area, because Parked generates them for you and Google does not give much importance to them any more.
What's important is the Meta Description and the Title Tag.

ok..thanks Gil..

What does it mean when my domains have something like this from parked?
http://meanwhile.com/?domain=domain.com

 

[tonyfloyd]

that yahoo doesnt like where the traffic is coming from and has kicked the site to the curb...all your traffic is now going to meanwhile.com....

 

[dexters]

That helps but who is meanwhile? Is that a parked.com domain?

Edit...

Parked does own it. Does the revenue from clicks off that page (with my domain) go to me or just parked.

Math - On the weekends many account managers, take the weekend off. Some check mail once a day on the weekends and some don't check it at all. That really is there responsibility.

i see... thanks a lot. but i have waiting for 48 hours each message that i have send to one of your Account manager. Is it normal too ?
Im dont hijack or leaching for bad decision. Just want to know.

yes of course Folks. Actually if you have adding the domain to your portfolio all reveanue click will be record for your earning.

Math - If you sent something Friday night to your account manager, that is possible. Parked is designed to give everybody 1 person to work with. This helps this person to better understand your needs and you will always get the same answer from the same person. If you have problems with when your account manager responds to your questions, please bring it up with them.

New feature request for you donny, how about background images ?

i could make some nice sites with this feature.

pm on its way donny.

My TQ score dropped to an 8 after the new graph was installed ....with no change in traffic or discernible difference in traffic quality....I just don't get what determines the TQ , i send plenty of traffic the revenues are about the same... I wonder Does it Really matter?
the other odd thing is that my TQ dropped on the day of highest traffic I got this month ?

 

[cheezecake]

Donny,

My TQ has went from
10 to 4 to 10 for a long period (1 month+) to 5 to 4. How long do we have at this level to work our score back up?

For those of you who may think that RPC at Parked hasn't been tanking here's some
screen shots for two of my tech domains - note the huge decrease in RPC

It's getting to the point that revenue is so low in some case that there's just no point in running arb which makes some domains pretty well useless for revenue purposes.
I'm taking *big* hits in revenue.

Some arb campaigns are walking a fine line between Adwords CPC and Parked RPC.
Unless you consistently get at least 100% CTR you spend forever every day just tweaking your campaigns.

What is your TQ score? Has it gone down along side the decrease in RPC?

Yea thats a bit hit. Very similar to my RPC that has halved in the past month as well. It's dificult to read pic#2 but I imagine that its similar to pic#1.

BTW if dnwarehouse.com is not a Parked domain how come you're putting up those stats here? Or am I missing something?
