PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Donny]

Marty,
Ask says it will be available at 12pm EST/9am PST. That's when their whole interface will be available for us to get our stats. Or at least that's what they claim.

The alternative traffic destination or ATD (Crappy name for a good feature), was originally designed designed when we only had 1 provider. If that provider didn't want your traffic you could tell us where to send it. If it was Sedo or one of your own sites. Then we added Ask and a few other providers and it's mostly worthless at this point. But it's still possible to use it in some cases. If you want to use our primary provider and none of our other ones then just choose primary only and if they don't want the traffic for some reason we will redirect the traffic to whoever else that you want.

Hope that makes sense.

Donny

I haven't exactly experienced disappearing clicks but disappearing RPM - it went from $1300 to $299...and when i consider that i had 23 clicks that have been affected by this value shift...then i'm...hurt! that cost me a lot of cash today. I'm sure there's an explanation...well, i hope there is, 'cause an almost $1k drop within the same day.....??

Here we have the response of the Account Manager about my loosing clicks issue... now i know that clicks also are estimates (no definitives)...

It depends. Some clicks our provider might not accept, believing them to be bots or fraud, so if those clicks are not accepted, we remove them from the estimates. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Also i want to know if 13 and 14 delayed days was near zero or zero CTR as mine was...

This is an update I just got from Yahoo. On October 10th, they implemented phase 3 of their "quality based pricing", this could be why some of our partners have seen a drop in revenue since the 10th. This only seems to have affected some of our partners, but it is across all Yahoo based parking companies.

I will update everybody as I know more.

The stats update has seen me getting some $9-10 CPC on some of my domains. This is really encouraging.

Donny,

do you know if bad quality traffic from one domain will effect the rest of the portfolio?

Also, how do I increase the quality of my clicks?

For everyone else, anyone know how yahoo determines "quality" ? my ctr is actually really hight. . .

Question for Donny:

I absolutely applaud Parked.com for the recent changes in regards to content and video integration.
However, i do have a few things that "puzzle" me;
- Since the changes, has Parked.com seen an increase in CTR?
- Can we track what users are doing on our sites, such as page overlay?
Reason: If too much content or video integration influences the user to spend so much time reading/watching that they forget to click the links, it would be counterproductive to my sites and i'd change my way of presenting the pages. Unfortunately we can't track that yet.
- Maybe build a time column that indicates how much time a visitor is spending on the site? This might give a clue whether our traffic is reading and leaving or reading and clicking - we could adjust accordingly.

I know this may be stretching the possibilities - just figured i throw that at you

Parked is undoubtedly loaded with great features compared to other domain parking providers. The newly added features make it even more robust. There is "1" feature that no parking provider has ever featured for its members. Which is the capability of adding your own stats/traffic monitoring code to your domain. For example, if I could track my conversions at Adcenter using their code snippet, it could work wonders. Even free tools like statcounter traffic analysis, helps in finding out visitor time duration, visitor origin, duration of visit, exit links etc. This can be extremely invaluable for any domainer. This can also help members track campaigns and weed out poor performing traffic sources. Overall, this will help every member increase conversions. Its a win win for both the parking company and the domainer.

I've not seen any parking company implement this. This also ensures the highest level of transparency in operations. Will Parked give this a thought?

This feature IMO, will be the real revolution.
