Donny,

Please let me know the answer to my above questions.

Thanks.

good info, maybe i should try a little more your services. some domains works better on different systems, maybe mine will work on yours better.

 

[RaiderGirl]

Why dont you guys contact tech support at Parked before posting your questions here? you would get an answer much MUCH faster. The ticket system they have is for a reason.

Donny, why parked.com wouldn't give space for articles like bodis.
It helps getting traffic I think and more attracting.

:hi:
If you don't mind I'll answer this question for Donny...It's coming Soon!

Along with MANY MANY great new requests and updates to PARKED.COM! :tu:

Rick let me see what I can do.

1. Is there anything special I need to do or just add domains and change DNS and "done"?

, Add domains, change dns, done. That's about it. Except for sit back and collect some money.

2. I have 1000s of names. Is there any limit on how many names you can add by pasting in the 'domain list area' at once? Can I add (lets say for example 20k) at once?

In theory 20k should work fine. I added about 200,000 for somebody a few weeks ago, but I think it works fine. Don't remember without trying it.

3. Can I create 'category portfolios' later (as I just want to add the full list right now'? Can I move 'already addred' domains in to different category portfolios later "easily"?

Yep. Either way works fine. I find it faster to add the domains in the correct portfolios first, but that's just my preference.

4. Can I also add .mobi domains?

Sure. You can even add .travel domains.

5. Does parked.com notify domainers if ad providers don't allow a domains to be parked at parked.com (such as adult/gambling/etc)?

We have 4 providers. There are only 3 domains that I know of that get rejected by all 4 of our providers.

6. Does parked.com help with domain customization?

We help optimize your domains.

7. And btw, who are the ad providers except yhoo?

Our secondary provider is Ask, and I am not allowed to publicize our next two.

Parked.com account request - why so long?

Hi all, I sent in a Parked account request late Tuesday but no response yet.

Anyone know if this is normal or if Parked is having technical issues? Also got a "temporarily unavailable" when I went to contact them via the site.

Thanks!

 

[TOXX]

Sometimes you have to wait a little for your application to be approved.
...
As far as the "temporarily unavailable" that's because PARKED.COM is doing upgrades...to keep staying the BEST!

 

[TheWatcher]

A delay maybe due to their recent upgrade.

 

[GiddyUp]

there are some delays going on now...traffic is not being updated at all for me since about 10 am EST this morning... I'm guessing it's due to the recent upgrade?

I have the same stats since last night

 

[DnPresident]

I have the same stats since last night

Happy to know it's not just me. I sent in a trouble ticket complaining about My Revenue being waaay off and they replied that they were aware of it, and it was because of the system hadn't cought up yet.

So far PARKED seems very reliable and my numbers are getting stronger from week to week.

My numbers haven't moved for the last 5-6 hours. I'm waaay behind the norm.

 

[whitebark]

They are upgrading the stats backend.

Thanks. No response yet, so guess I'll have to wait a little longer

Stats are working PRISTINE FINE now!
...
Might I add that VERY few (if any) Parking co's offer such quick stats updates!

UPDATE: PARKED.COM now supports CUSTOM CONTENT TEXT! :tu:

 

[netmeg]

I've had 16 domains there for maybe five days; have seen some traffic but no clicks whatsoever as yet (maybe a little disappointing, but I can be patient for a while) I went through on Saturday and customized each of my domains to a large extent, and hopefully that will help once the SEs pick up the changes (they were already indexed and ranking before I moved them to parked.com)

My question is - I have total about 350 domains, many of which are in 'suites' where I have the same type of domain for all 50 states, or a bunches of similar domains in a particular industry. If I move more of my domains to parked.com, I will want to do the same heavy customization that I did on the first 16 (I'm fairly certain nobody can customize them better than I can myself) but I didn't see any tools in there for bulk customization - do they exist, or will I have to go through one at a time? I am talking about things like writing titles and meta tags, and removing categories and related terms that are not relevant, etc. Some customization options will be the same between multiple domains, and some won't - it'd be nice to be able to bulk setup the ones that are.

Hoping this works out and I can move more of my domains over, because there are certainly things I like about parked.com as compared to the others. Just haven't seen the revenue as yet (but it's early yet)

one of my close friends,listed more than 200 domains on signup form...but they didn't even send an email to let him know about the status of account acceptance.

My friend has more than 500 domains for park...

Maybe it got spammed or something since Donny and Parked are REALLY professional about account applications.

netmeg - I guess it depends on what you call customizing. There currently isn't a mass modify available, and even if there were I don't think you would want to set all of them the same.

We do very well with groups of domains, for example we had somebody who added in 3,000 cityterm.com domains. But there were only about 5 terms everything else was a city. He added those in and about 98% of them were correct from the beginning. But even with a mass modify tool, you couldn't change the title and meta tags for each one. Unless we just showed all of that data on one page and let you update all of it at once, which is our plan it's just not available yet.
