PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Donny]

Of course it a domain over time can go from a 2 click to a 1 click and the other way as well. For example, my phpscripts.com was a 2 click just 2 weeks ago and now it's a 1 click domain. I didn't do anything on my end, it was some Yahoo magic that gave me a 1 click domain. It's a combination of the number of advertisers and the volume that make a domain go 1 click.

When are faster STAT updates coming Donny?
...
They still seem to update only around every hour or so...

** Parked.com downtime compensation **

Because the Parked.com site was down for 4 days, we decided to take all revenue that your domains generated during those 4 days and give everybody an extra 3% on top of what they generated. The payment will be made as an additional entry for the coming pay period.

Please let me or your account manager know if you have any questions.

************
SDX - Soon, we were going to drop it to every 30 minutes about an hour ago, but decided we would just wait until tomorrow. When we will either drop it to 30 minutes or 15 minutes depending on how the numbers are looking.

Anybody Else Having Trouble With Reports?

My dashboard updates just fine, but the domain detail report seems stuck. Anybody else experiencing this?

 

[Donny]

It all looks fine to me, but if somebody has an example, I'll be more than happy to look at it.

Donny

 

[msingley]

Hey Donny....I thought you'd be catching up on your sleep!!

The "problem" I'm experiencing is that when the last stat update occurred, the numbers on the dashboard updated, but when i clicked on the date link to see the domains themselves, those numbers had not updated. This happened earlier tonight, too, but the numbers updated about 10 minutes after the dashboard. This time around, its been over half an hour. Go figure, huh?

Marty,
As we were preparing to turn stats on running every 30 minutes or 15 minutes we decided to change something today. What happened is that even though the stats were processing fine, some of the reports showed stats that were one period behind. So we fixed it just now. Thanks for letting us know.

domain ext's

You would laugh if you looked at one of my accounts, one day $100, the next $2, the next $50, etc... I have 100% type-ins nothing else.

Donny

Donny, could you tell me what domain ext's is it ? .com .net .info ccTLD's or else ?

just wondering

 

[msingley]

Yep, it's all good now, Donny! Thanks!

Donny, could you tell me what domain ext's is it ? .com .net .info ccTLD's or else ?

just wondering

I haven't personally bought a domain in 5 years that I kept for more than a year. I had a large list of very generic domains that I owned myself 15 years ago, but the choice was to pay rent or renew my domains. I should have chosen the domains as they are all owned by very large companies now.

I only own .com domains, I let all of the other stuff drop/sold a long time ago. I just checked and every domain I own is at least 8 years old. Some of them I own just because they are cool, not because they make any money. But in the end, it's all about the money.

Donny

 

[dherwan]

Donny, do you develop your domain before you park or just easy to park ?

 

[Donny]

I haven't developed a domain for myself in about 5 years and then it was a blog when all I did was complain to the world about stuff. I have developed quite a few large businesses at work all based on a domain.

keyword match

another question Donny,

your TOS said like this

We will suspend your account if you manually hardcode inappropriate or unrelated keywords to your domain.

if I have domain 12345.com/blablabla.com or something like this, what is the match keyword for that domain ?

thanks

Where are you Donny?

 

[dherwan]

I have a better example I own http://www.ask.vc how would you assign a keyword tot hat?

Troopscott, is this keyword approve by your account manager ?

How long it's domain and keyword already set ?

 

[DnPresident]

I have a better example I own http://www.ask.vc how would you assign a keyword tot hat?

I wonder if the keyword ANSWERS or QUESTION would work? or both!

On TradeAnswers.com I put (answer question).

Troopscott, is this keyword approve by your account manager ?
?

They don't need approval. Just need to be relevant.

 

[dherwan]

They don't need approval. Just need to be relevant.

Mr. President
in what kind a rule that keywords is relevant ?

How about troopscott case, is ask relevant with parked keyword ? or parked has it own algorithm ?

I just wondering if I buy no meaning domain so I can test which keywords has a lot of sponsored links and can make money with that.

dherwan, It's Parked.com's rules, not mine. It's actually noted in their sites rules somewhere, I remember reading it when I first opened the account. Your account can be suspended. I don't know how hard it's enforced and don't want to have to worry about it.

Parked will do it's best to auto set the keyword but it's not perfect and does need to be checked. As for a name like "ASK " I guess you could almost put anything that people may have a question about. Since I have TradeAnswers I was just giving an example of what I used that I thought was about as relevant to the name as possible.

Just common sense I guess.

Donny Could you take a look at the domain http://www.mortgages.gd for me? Since I parked it with youguys it has had 1559 visits and has a CTR of less than one percent. I have tried diffrent templates etc but no luck. I did change they keyword from mortgages to home loans today to see if that would help but any ideas would be appreciated

Must learn to send via PM first.

Donny
