PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[skylineleong]

I have a domain parking at parked.com
It's reasonable revenue??

Date0---------- Visitors-----Clicks-----RPM ▼------CTR-------RPC------- Revenue
2008-03-20 *-----100 -------13------ $1.80----- 13.00% ----$0.01 -------$0.18

What us RPM?
Why my revenue $0.18 only?

Thanks

What is RPM?


revenue per 1000 visitors - so if your domain has 1000 visitors it would make $ 1.80

hope this helps.

I left parked.com and went with fabulous. Revenue went thru the roof at fabulous. I just completed a survey that they sent to me explaining my dissatisfaction. Thier keywords are uncontrolable as well often showing totally unrelated links. :imho:

I left parked.com and went with fabulous. Revenue went thru the roof at fabulous. I just completed a survey that they sent to me explaining my dissatisfaction. Thier keywords are uncontrolable as well often showing totally unrelated links. :imho:

I shifted a couple thousand domains from Parked domains over to Fabulous for a couple, three days recently and saw the same pattern at Fabulous, that I was seeing at Parked. That is to mean, if you have a good English generic OR foreign domain, but the surfer comes to it from an "undesirable" country, then you will get .01 to .03 cents, give or take. I think this is the new order - foreign traffic from those countries will now pay less. So, Fabulous hold no higher ground in that regard I found out.

I see many, many more undesirable ads at Fabulous on my domains, but that is Google's fault, not FAB's. Targeting totally SUCKS with Google - and that, I believe, is on purpose - that's another subject, however.

On a whole I actually appeared to be doing comparable, or worse, I hate to report, over at Fabulous. I'd like to agree with you so that everyone has something to be happy about, but that was not the case on a big sample of good domains. Parked won on that test, albeit a small test.

How are the keywords uncontrollable at Parked? Did you ever try "Optimize This Portfolio" link? Fabulous can't even stand at the starting line when it comes to bulk editing. FAB has some neat tools, but they still lack characteristics for speedy editing. Also, their photo selection is still very, very limited.

Congratulations on your income going through the roof, but I would bet that either you did not have domains at Parked optimized, or you hold few domains or many in a niche that pays better with a Google feed. Or, of course, you hold gambling domains, which everyone knows FAB wins with those.

Also, I might add, Fabulous does not want see your foreign domains AT ALL ! "Engish, with generics preferably please" is what they always say.

Lastly, service. Fabulous has always been known for great service, but Parked is even better. An example: I sent an email last Sunday to my Fabulous representive, Everett, and he still has not responded. He probably will, but Parked almost never does this. It is just about unheard of.

Yea, why?
If 1000 visitors = $1.80, then 100 visitors = $0.18
You got $0.18.
What about your 13 clicks x $0.01 = $0.13?

Parked has no provision for custom Related Searches...thats a very big disadvantage. Most other parking companies allow this.

As far as payout you need only look at these two screen captures.

 

[kemjika11]

oh thats a sweet name with great RPC .

SO FAB pays for uniques AND clicks?

 

[Shenron]

That's it...

I quit trying.

3 times refused with high quality domains like stockscentral.net and many 1993+ domains with traffic and PR.

Maybe I should buy Google.com and park it to be accepted...

Hmmmpfff...

** +700 domains heading elsewhere **

Not to burst your bubble or anything.....but....stockscentral.net is pretty much worthless. :imho:

 

[Donny]

Shenron - You did apply 3 times and I would have rejected you all 3 times myself. Our signup script rejected each time for the same reasons. I'm going to go ahead and approve you. And I'll PM you why you were rejected.

Donny

 

[Varon]

Donny, can you check your voicemail?

 

[Donny]

Varon - I can only check my voicemail from the office, which if you left me a message there I won't get it until Monday. I'm at the in-laws right now dyeing some eggs for tomorrow.

Donny

Dye some Parked.com Green eggs :hehe:

My quality score is now no score. It was a 10 a week back.

Well, that is a good point and FAB is easy in that respect. Maybe that will change ; Donny at Co. are always tweaking and adding new elements.

One thing that does frustrate me at Parked is most of the time you want to change the keyword it changes the photo upon saving the keyword and then you have to reset the photo again. Also, I still have a problem with losing capitalized title letters every time I change a photo or keyword and then having to redo it again.

I have issues with Google's ad targeting and I just about get sick when I see some of the unrelated junk links they throw up. I think Yahoo's Panama update did some good and now there is better targeting of ads, at least that is what I noticed.

Either way, Parked so far has shown more promise for me. I just hope they all improve for all of us, including them.

Nice domain btw, those are the kinds I like

Not to burst your bubble or anything.....but....stockscentral.net is pretty much worthless. :imho:

Not when it gets traffic...

Thx Donny.

I have told you why in my PM.

revenue per 1000 visitors - so if your domain has 1000 visitors it would make $ 1.80

hope this helps.

NO!
This is just a matter of presentation!
The same revenue is divided by UNIQUES and by CLICKS, whichever you prefer to see. BigJumbo does not report clicks at all, for example - just uniques and revenue.
