PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[theinvestor]

Anyone know if they pay out a certain day on parked.com? Or is it just every 15 days from when you registered? Asking because it's almost been 2 weeks and just wondering when payment will occur.

Thanks

PARKED pays on the 7th and 22nd...ON THE DOT!!! Come rain or shine or even Sunday! :tu:

Click on Revenue History under Account Information - it will tell you when payment was sent out assuming you earned at least $20 between the 1st and 15th - amounts under $20 carry over to the next period (ie. 16th to 31st) - the next scheduled pay date is the 7th.

On another topic, I've found simply optimizing the keyword(s) alone for a domain makes a huge difference ... not just in earnings, but also for sale inquiries.

anyone else having a rough weekend? i am down about half of usual revenue

yeah , I kind feel your pain.The Some

 

[Sleepys]

Does anyone know how to organize my domains by date added? I wanted to view the performance of my domains and organize them from the most recently added, to the first one added. I know this is possible with the other parking companies, so I assume I am just missing how to do it.
Thanks so much

Same here. So far, the past days hurt badly!

Wonder what the reason for that is? New algo @ yahoo? Peter(SDX) any guesses or insight?

I think traffic being down has a lot to do with it being Halloween weekend.

 

[DnPresident]

That's one of the things I just can't understand... Why doesn't parked help us out more with answering my questions that are important on increasing revenue? The more I make the more they make. Right?

Hi
Varon, you should tell parked to hire you. Reading one post by you gave me more knowledge then my parked rep that I have emailed on specific questions and all he says everything seems good

To put it nicely, Yes I've had a very bad weekend...It really hurt saying it that nicely.

Come on Donny, Be easy :yell: :yell:

Anyone see a pattern below?

anyone else having a rough weekend? i am down about half of usual revenue

Unfortunately Yes, after stats are finalized...

Same here. After all stats finalized my revenue was cut in half. wonder whats going on.

yeah , I kind feel your pain.The Some

Hmm...I dunno if it is coincidence, (because I have been noticing a lot of strange things the past two days across the entire internet), but one of my typo domains that was the first result in google, I switched over to parked and now 2 days later it jumped from the first spot to the 500th result. The first spot is now filled with a google owned page. Hmph. And no, I didn't get it there by any illegitimate methods. it was indexed by google while at sedo....Argh!

For all the work I have been putting into making a few bucks off of domains, I could have probably tripled it working harder on my real world company. I think I am going to just hang up my hat and call it quits for the domaining business. Anyone feel like buying about 1800-2000 domains......

Please PM me your list

Traffic seems to be light across the board (like someone mentioned earlier it is Halloween weekend). My AdSense impressions have been about 1/8th normal levels the past couple days and Parked revenue has been virtually non-existent.

same here. . . I'm guessing the quality score thing is killing me again. . .

I'm trying to figure out which of my domains are not converting well thus lowering my RPC across the board. . .

my account manager is helping me by switching solme of my domains to the ask feed to see if my score will go back up. Will report back the results when I know more.

 

[DnPresident]

Ya know the estimates of revenue that are shown are estimates, So why are they so far off and always high?

I think I'll contact ask and ask if the ads I run through them can be compare to what I'm getting paid.

Since Parked has Yahoo/ask feed this shouldn't be too difficult to find out.

If they can, I may just start running all ads through them and avoid Google and MSN....

same here. . . I'm guessing the quality score thing is killing me again. . ..

Wouldn't be a problem if you would go through google,ask,msn

I have learned so much from veron on one past vs 6 months at parked.com

I heard they were customer friendly. Specific answers don't get answered

Now donny I heard amazing things on and he cares about people. But that's one person

I am tweaking mega tags and keywords starting tomorrow

I changed around one name.

Casinohotels.ws and we shall see

Then I changed around free porn channel.tv and test that out

I don't know what I will do but will give parked another 6 weeks

Parked needs to get into rss feeds, video blogging and make it more then a ppc

Couple big co see this and that will be the next wave. Ppc parked pages will be dead in 3 years I believe.

Note. Type in traffic like candy.com and Franks names will do well but parking companies will need to be more advanced then running ppc I believe

My account is starting to recover nicely from the google indexing problems of a month back - the domains are being re-listed as they should be and traffic/rev are coming back up. I'm removing two domains for every one I'm putting in and I'm still trending upwards. The last few days have seen nice epc and ctr's on my account.

No complaints here other than the few domains that have yet to be re-listed in google without the "domainname.ca/spidertrap.php" as the sole entry.

 

[jeffoverman]

I have some good things on parked. I am not a parked .com basher nor do I want to be known this here. I just want to learn a few things, I have some good names and start drawing traffic inn

I will probably revise each word, read more posts by varon and possible contact donny personally if he is willing teach the rookie a few things and have a happy customer

Parked does have some clean layouts and good designs. Looks like hours will be spent in parked site this week and pray that I am doing mega tags are right method and etc.

To my rep, if you read this and my frustration please help me out. I don't mean to come across as the ass hole. Just want answers and hear what an experienced domainer says and in the business

Don't apologize for asking questions, jeffoverman. That's why we have a board like this. And don't be afraid to bring your questions directly to Donny. Everyone knows he is the go-to guy, and my experience has been that Donny quickly responds to even silly questions from a newbie like me.

Keep workin' it, pal! We're with ya!

Yup this "quality score thing" killed me too. I averaged about 50 dollars a day, now it's around 20-25.

 

[jeffoverman]

PM me your list as well

Thanks.

I will be working very hard now that my buddy came back from tailand and the exchange rate and cheap etc

Want to be mobile, laptop, get revenues each day and have the flexibility in doing what I want after my buddys talk on things and tailand lol

To bad my main business and night job here is in the hardest hit state in the country. Michigan.

Looks like I may bring some names to parked this week, change things around and see how things will go next few days.

Hey varon if you want to tweak my account and do a revenue share agreement in your time and payment off your smarts let me know lol. I am serious. Consider this as a unique service by your smarts. Please note, if this is against parked.com rules or have someone to log into your account and make revisions I won't be doing this. Don't want a parking company to dump me

Mike, I really do think its because people are out...like for the Pumpkin Race in Manhattan Beach! :lol:

 

[Mike]

Jeff - Google has a "Campaign Optimizer" feature, try it out and see what it does for ya. Maybe it's a step in the right direction.

Well, people better be getting back home then. They have an obligation to be online and use those nifty parked sites that we prepared for their visual stimulation.
Their absence is completely unapproved and should have immediate repercussions! And by that i mean not OUR revenue to get punished...
The "people's" obvious neglect to observe the minimum CTRs that we have calculated cannot go without consequences!
Thus, the people are guilty of .... well,...me..typing crap like that.

'nuff said. The jury rests.
