Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

I need 3 of me, I have soooo much that needs to be done. Me by myself is like a whale trying to eat a tic-tac.....Just not enough.

So, you're big, you're slow and you're on a spicy diet? :hehe:

Oh. and I would also like to note that parked.com has been exceptional for my india domains. The Pay Per Click is awesome. I've yet to see many names get indexed but most aren't more than a month or a couple weeks old that I have there.

I was very skeptical at the start to park my domains first with all indian traffic and wasted a lot of time at other places. Although I see a low cpc with parked but my ctr is exceptional in margin of 80-100% which earns me 3 times what I earned at any other place.

Also the fact that I never tested my domains for more than a day at parked.com before is the only thing I repent.

So here is a little piece for advice for all who have cctld domains. If ever you have a natural type in for domains in India park them at parked.com..Trust me I have tested them at so many different places none have a comparable earning as parked.com

I am also thinking it would be a great idea to have keyword set by country...
So say my keyword for traffic from India is "loans" and for all other countries it is "personal loans" and so on...

 

[Donny]

Keyword by country is already on our list, it's just not very easy to do. But it's coming.

Something happened to the some posts...Mods??

Donny,

is the parked payout the same to most users? or does it depend on volume. I was checking out the payout of another friend using parked, and on the same keyword (one page lander) our RPC was drastically different. (me on the higher side).

Donny can answer this better, but it depends where your traffic comes from.

I have not seen any traffic analysis on any of my domain names since the day I've signed up with ''Parked' 2007-11-04. I've got around 30 visits so far but I can't see where the visits came from. Am I missing someting here?

They only have traffic analysis if you have clicks on a domain as far as I know.

The revshare is different for some people, some higher and some lower. It's a formula that we have been using since day 1.

Could You Elaborate upon this concept of built in inequality.

 

[Donny]

It's part of the secret sauce. Everybody starts at one point about 1/2% go down for some reason, and about 30% go higher than the starting point. Ours is just a lot more automated than some of the other companies. Our system looks at everything from day of the week, to the temperature, how many misspellings of youtube you have, and all kinds of things to see if your account is at the right revshare or should be higher. :lol:

As we say at most of the shows we attend your revshare can go up based on the quantity, quality, and value of your domains and your traffic.

Well, Let's just say you own a store that sales gold for $850 an ounce.....I want 100 ounces..........Should I have to pay the same price as the guy wanting 1 ounce? Hell no, I'm not spending $85,000 one at a time when I can get the same price over the course of 2 months... Get Real!

I wouldn't like to think I'm making $300.00 per day and getting the same rev share as the guy earning $5.00 per day..

Could You Elaborate upon this concept of built in inequality.

 

[Miami]

Well would you be pissed if you found out the guy who is making $5 a day had a bigger share than you? How could you tell.

I don't like secret sauce...If I was a referral does the 10% come out of my cut or Parked?

and when it comes to gold which i buy often its always at whatever spot gold sells for on the day I often buy only one or two ounces and get the same rate as a volume buyer I am not judged by a random system its spot price plus the standard dealer markup and the guy next to me should get the same price.

so at parked your saying 50% of the people make less than when they started? and 30% earn a better rev split ...and I guess 20% stay the same? kinda Like the republican Party approach those that that make less earn less huh.
Parked Please clarify at what click level and earning level per month one gets the privilege of a larger share and how often the accounts are reviewed.

 

[Donny]

I love new people... Here we go again.

Referrals payments come out of my pocket, not anybody else. So if I was going to be paying somebody 65%, then the referral gets 10% of the 65%, so that comes out of my pocket not anybody else.

Please don't take words out of my mouth about percentages. I said 1/2% or .5%, not 50%. Please don't assume something when you only have 3 posts to your name.

And I will not publish when you will get a raise, it's one of the only secrets that we keep. But in some cases people have requested raises and we manually review them. Again we still use an automated system to evaluate them and decide what their rate should be. I hate doing anything by hand, so I try to automate whenever possible.

[biohammer]

I wondered about the referrals thanks for clearing that up.
I cant say whether or not i have "gotten a raise" at Parked. But I can say over time my portfolio in general is improving. Its not always the parking company but the work you do yourself. I am very pleased with my experience with parked, they have always answered my emails my earnings are growing and they Pay on time. What else do you want? It might be the domains you have or just a bump on your learning curve but you wont find a better parking company.IMHO

Donny: Rev has been going up a bit (its less erratic now). Keep up the good work.
