PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[DnPresident]

Parked is down ,, My numbers stopped changing and I noticed they have 2007-10-16 11:34:34 PST and it's 3:20 here. So almost 1 hour stopped now.

DNPresident - Whenever we are finalizing stats from the previous day, we don't process current stats. Kind of this legacy thing we have.

Varon - We have talked about this, but this means that we would need to open up javascript. One day soon we should be able to do this, but not right now.

IB - Since the addition of the content tools, we have seen an increase and a decrease at the same time. We have used a click/heat map in the past, unfortunately with the amount of clicks we were receiving it was throwing a few things out of whack so we removed it. But back to my original statement, we did see a higher CTR on domains that were populated with relevant content, but it also depended if the owner put other links on the domain or not. If you put links to other domains, we saw about a 1-2% lower CTR than the others. But overall, the biggest thing we noticed was a small increase in traffic to those domains, but I didn't dig further into why they were getting more traffic.

hitchhiker - Your TQ score is based on all domains in your account. But your score is mainly tied to amount of clicks. So if you have 1 domain that gets 1,000 clicks a day and all the rest get 10 each, your score is primarily based off that one domain.

I think that answered all of the questions.

Skeered me :yell:

 

[Donny]

Oops, spoke too soon, stats weren't being processed as somebody was running some analysis on some data. But they are process now.

ok that make sense

Question for Donny:

Why wire transfer is 2500 ? All parking have 200 - 1000.

Please fix this problem !

Sweet :lala:

 

[Donny]

Pikachu - Wires are expensive and time consuming. They can't be automated either. If you can list who has them at $200 - $1000, I think our accounting department may consider it. But most of them that I know have them at the same number that we have it or higher.

ActiveAudience

ActiveAudience. As stated on their website....

Q: What Is The Minimum Payout?
A: ActiveAudience's minimum payout is $50 or more for checks, $10 or more for PayPal and $100 or more for wire transfer. If you do not meet this minimum payout, we will carry your stats over from the previous month until your account balance meets the amount. In some extreme situations, if your account has not met our minimum payout requirements, we will payout your account if you request us to do so.

I was told that that was only for direct deposits. But I just talked to them about that last week.

Donny

 

[Domagon]

Perhaps what they really mean is "direct-deposit" (ACH), since they don't specifically mention that anywhere in the text.

Bank wire transfer is difficult to automate safely; requires time to ensure correct amount, destination, etc since bank wire transfers are final once completed unlike direct-deposit, which can be reversed for quite some time afterwards.

There are banks out there that do have automated wire transfer services.

Even Citibank had it for a while, but now they have discontinued it. They will have it again in the future.

PS
We have $1000 minimum for wires.

 

[DnPresident]

Gotta love Parked.com

[hitchhiker]

Donny,

Anyway to switch to a ask feed for a particular domain? (instead of yahoo?) Looks like ask feed is actually paying more for me due to the funny quality score discount I'm getting (50%!).

 

[exponent]

Personally, I'm loving PARKED.COM. I get fast responses, great ads / pages, and powerful tools with fast updates.

 

[Donny]

hitchhiker - Just send something to your account manager, they can do it.

[barefoottech]

Must do something soon

I really need to develop my Aussie Name

[Donny]

Basically it's been on a domain by domain basis from what we have seen so far and the CTR seems to have gone up some, but the RPC has gone down. I'm still working with Yahoo to try and understand all of the changes.

I've noticed the same thing. CTR up and CPC down. My best domain was averaging .23 a click and now it's averaging .17.


I'm kinda new to parked, so I don't really have a feel for the "up and down" cycle.
