Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[GiddyUp]

hmmm im back in now - but for future reference - what could that be from?

pm'ed it to u

 

[Donny]

It could have been one of the routers between you and us could have been down. Depending on how many routes it could have varied quite a bit. In our case if we ever find that we can't get to a site, we report it to our network operations group. Which they are currently waiting for the traceroute now. We have a staff on duty 24 hours a day because we own our own data center.

You saw the favico, because that is cached on your pc. I did check everything again and I don't see any blips on our end. But maybe one of the upstream providers had an issue that we haven't caught yet.

As far as I know,Parked can not switch a domain from 1-click lander to a 2-click.but this feature is available at AA!

 

[Donny]

vbigdeli - We can switch a domain from a 1 click to a 2 click. Just not the opposite way.

Here's a question to parked members. I'm averaging $2.29 CPC for a finance/debt related domain over the past 15 days. Is this low/standard/good/great? I just want to benchmark my performance and find out if there's room to do better.

 

[Donny]

We are still waiting for one of our providers data.

vbigdeli - We can switch a domain from a 1 click to a 2 click. Just not the opposite way.

I've read a few times that some have had better results with 2click landers over 1click on certain names. If we get our account manager to change a name to a 2click, does it mean we're stuck on it, and can't switch back if performance doesn't improve?

Is it feasible to have some kind of marking or asterisk show up beside names that qualified as 1click landers on our portfolio lists?

 

[Donny]

RazorNF - Good question. The debate will go on for a long time which is better a 1 click or a 2 click lander. I see data from our side that says a 2 click give you a higher RPC, a little less CTR, but more revenue over time than a 1 click. But there are some cases when a 1 click will beat a 2 click, which is usually when a 1 click is earning more than $1.00+ RPC.

Currently only account managers can turn your domains 2 click domains. The reason this isn't an option today, is that 1 click domains vary quite a bit. They are only based on if the domain is going to Yahoo and it also depends on what country the surfer is coming from. We do have plans in the very near future to add it as an option to be able to say I don't want any of my domains to go to 1 click. But that is a few weeks away at this point.

Well good for you, Because I just had a 1 click lander mysteriously change to a 2 click lander after being a 1 click for over 5 weeks........I don't like the 2 click...killz the CTR.

Also I've noticed since Donny told me Yahoo/Parked pays for Mexican traffic, I've been seeing a lot of "country unknown" Am i getting paid for this :Country unknown: traffic. ____Gotta feeling it's those Spanish clickerz

 

[Donny]

Unknown means we don't know what the country is. And yes you are paid for unknown.

2 clicks give you more data to choose keywords for a domain,you can switch a 1 click domain to 2 click for a week and set best keyword for a domain!

Donny - Is there possible to get 2 click landing page but the layout/template is 1 click landing page ? I think 1 click template is better from 2 click template, but I have no idea about revenue, it's make up or down ?

Is it good or bad ?

 

[DnPresident]

2 clicks give you more data to choose keywords for a domain,you can switch a 1 click domain to 2 click for a week and set best keyword for a domain!

:hehe: You can have the data, I want the clickzzz :yell:

mj85 - Looks to me like you were earning $2.06 per click.

Donny

 

[Varon]

Thanks Donny.

Mj.... why would you underrate your own CPC?
