how about parkes.com?
I just have 4 domain! can Register?

I have around 70 domains getting more than 15K unique and 30K views per month. I just applied for a parked account few days ago, got denied. Their email says

Our traffic quality department has analyzed your application and has determined that it does not currently meet the standards we are looking for in new (-------) partners.

Edited:

I applied again with some more domains, got approval within one hour.

A good start for the New Year.

Thanks Parked.com

Anyone else seeing a slow drop in epc for adult domains?

Yes, I noticed this too yesterday when I was just randomly fine combing my domains at Parked. Many clicks all of a sudden at .03 for adult.

There's not as many folks watching porn right now since many are with their families. Take a look at your uniques also, mine went down in tandem with the epc.

However, domains I have in niches like alcohol/mixed drinks, clubs/parties, Christmas, New Years Eve went up in uniques and epc - just b/c of the season. Folks are proactively looking for these things to do with friends and family since this is the "social season". Watching porn is not usually a social activity on the Net, most especially around religious holidays.

You probably know all this, and it is quite obvious, but there are some folks that may not have thought about it - so I pointed it out .

Donny,

Merry Christmas man...Thanks for all you do..

Donny,

Merry Christmas man...

But I got bad news from parked

In order for Parked.com to pay industry leading payouts we have to ensure traffic quality for our network is of the highest standards. Our traffic quality department has analyzed your account and determined that it does not meet the high standards that are required to be a Parked.com partner.
Because of this your account nitoel has been terminated. One of the reasons your account has been terminated may be found in the Parked.com terms of service (http://www.parked.com/tos/), which you agreed to when you signed up with us.
Sincerely,
The Parked.com Traffic Quality Department

Yes the same with me ...though it is not adult names with me...I moved a couple names to namedrive and saw that the revenue surged double...

I think Yahoo does not have enough ads for that criteria and thus ask is serving for those keywords while google seems to have enough inventory on that name and getting paid higher...

Apparently there's a 100 domain minimum? Whatever happened to quality of quantity.

At parked its only 10...i remember getting approved at around 15 domains or lesser...

 

[firefly]

I got approved with ten....not sure where you got the 100 domain minimum

 

[MaxS]

Donny told me the requirement is 100.

I wish I could let you in, but that requirement is from our providers.

 

[firefly]

A friend of mine got approved 2 weeks ago with 15. Are you sure that is the requirement that Donny is talking about?? Are you sure it's nothing to do with the quality of your traffic??

It seems a little strange.

 

[vbigdeli]

Approval seems to depends on country of signup...100 domains required from Asian appliciants...

 

[Donny]

Approval is based on I think about 75 different factors. We tell people to put in at least 10, it is possible for everybody to get approved with 10 domains in certain cases. But if you put in more domains you have a better chance of getting approved. It depends on the quantity and quality of your domains. What can we determine just by a domain name, it's pretty amazing what you can figure out.

Donny, thanks for helping me out.

I would love to the ability to put an adsense banner in the custom content area. Why is this not allowed?

Thanks!

Thanks!

You will lose adsense acct if you do that.
That's against adsense TOS.
I did not have chance to read (Just got YPN acct last month) YPN TOS,
but, I think it's safe to say YPN has similar TOS.

 

[sheprd]

Just an observation on my domains parked at Parked:

SEVERAL of my sites have gone from PR0 up to PR3 - while being parked the last couple of weeks! These are domains that I have done absolutely NO work on, just parked! Thanks Parked.com!

 

[Brianwa]

Question from a Newbie

I have 10 domains at parked.com

What am I allowed to put in the custom content area?
