I forgot where the info was but there has been a research thing on types of colors on sites that generate a higher ctr but can't find it.

Cheers

Here's some info about choosing the best colours for your web sites:

Is it ok to put a link from one Parked site to another Parked site if its related? would that be considered good traffic?

 

[DnPresident]

Ok ....I think I clicked an ad by mistake while I was editing and checking A site....it never loaded but do I need to notify someone at Parked or does the system somehow correct it.... Im freaked out. Never happened before ....now what do I do?

I think the page has to fully load before your credited for the click....I've done something similar in the past, I was high lighting something from the lander and accidently clicked the link but clicked back before the page fully loaded and don't think it counted the click.. :yell: I do remember it giving me a feeling of guilt though...Like anyones going to believe it was an accident

Thats exactly what happened to me I immediately closed the window... but after the last updates there was no click so I think all is well. I just never want to mess up my relationship with Parked. They are by far the best parking company and I hope if they ever go public they offer us all a chance to get in on the IPO. lol

I think this was already asked before on this thread and
answer was no.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong

I've uploaded some domains to Parked and am getting a few clicks, but all clicks are .22 :td:

Is that a constant? I know some of the keywords that I using are worth much more. Could I expect to see a change in the near future?

Thanks.

Most of my parked clicks say $.22 or thereabouts as they accrue, until they resolve the next day and I get actual stats. That's their estimated click values until the actual ones come in. Once in, I am seeing anything from around $.40 to $3.00 per click in my niches. YMMV.

Are those estimates or final after adjusted?

Here is stat for one of my domain.
19 8 $906.32 42.11% $2.15 $17.22

Ok, I see what you mean. It was just updated for yesterday and this is one of my domains:

4 2 $1,042.50 50.00% $2.09 $4.17

Much better

I wonder why 2 of my domains went from 1 click to 2 click landers after adding content? I moved them back to the previous parking company (with content also) and they're back to 1 click.

*edit* nothing to do with the content being added as I just noted that a number of 1 click domains, some without content, are now 2 clicks. Yet move them to other parking company & they're back to 1 click.

**edit** on further investigation, on Parked.com, it seems that they're now showing 2 click for aussie viewers and 1 click for USA. Which is weird, seeing the terms are very generic & there's ad inventory for both US & Oz.

I just finished customizing a domain, everything is fine and I notice there's no longer the drop down menu which makes me happy. I prefer it like this.

However, there is a problem. I can Preview Template but I cannot "Customize Template" to change colours etc.

Could you please look into this Donny.

Thanks GIL

Gil,
What browser are you using? Because I just edited some of my own.

Gil - It pops in a new window when you click on it, make sure it's not already opened or you have a pop-up blocker blocking it.

GIL,

I ran into that same issue. My problem was I did not realize, that on the "Customize Template" page, after you change the color settings in "Step 1", you MUST assign your own NAME to the color theme (top entry box in "Step 1") before clicking on the "Save Customizations". If you have done this right, you will get a confirmation message in that page that your changes have been saved.

Also, be aware of what Donny said about it popping up in a new window. If you had done it once that window already exists and may be minimized.

I am using the latest Firefox Browser, BTW.

I hope this helps.

Found the bastard hidden behind this window. :red: Donny, couldn't you make it open to the front and not behind? Or do you think the problem is on my side?

Thanks GIL

I was a bit of confuse with your 'no' answer, is that mean 'no' for not allowed to link one parked.com domain to another using custom content, or 'no' in the sense that this won't be effective to drive more traffic & revenue?

awaiting for your response.... thanks,

richrich
