Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

3% drop for me, so no complaints

Questions about stats update:

I have noticed that when stats update, then:

1. Visitors always go up (supposed to go up, so not complaining )
2. Generally visitors/clicks/revenue all goes up at the same time also.
3. But sometimes clicks actually go down! Why is that? Btw, even in this case visitors and revenue goes up....so not complaining
4. Sometimes clicks don't change, but revenue goes up. Again not complaining

I just want to understand the stats' updates, thats all. I do like the fact that revenue always goes up

Are there different servers for various stats such as 1 server for visitors and revenue, and 2nd one for clicks?

Thanks.

Stats seem to be stable for me for last week except a huge glitch on 12th...Parked and Donny are A++ on support...

Thanks Donny...

If we estimate that you had 100 clicks, and Yahoo tells us 75 or 125 clicks we combine Yahoo's number with the number from our other providers and change the estimate clicks to final clicks.

The CTR does not affect the TQ score. It's all based on the total number of clicks.

My profits have been up in the last few days. :tu:

Looks like everyone has a rollar coaster ride.

Mine hasn't been to bad. Had my best day last week then 3 days or so harldy anything.

Just curious. How many of you run your own ads on msn and yahoo and etc.

I been told by couple people to try it and that's where the real money is even if you have an expense of running things.

How much I enjoy trading and doing puts and calls and options I believe I won't be running my own ads.

Prefer natural, organic growth and search engines pick up my stuff. Vs estimated clicks, running expenses, do people click and people don't click. I just don't have the time or the energy to to keep up with that but I heard some successes in doing this.

My understanding was that Yahoo to Yahoo arbitrage is much less acceptable than Google to Yahoo, or MSN to Yahoo.

Question to people who are at liberty to comment: Is that still the case?

Donny,

I was referring to the unfinished raw stats' updates that you provide every hour or so, not finalized stats from yahoo.

Thanks.

 

[madpoet]

You cannot do Yahoo to Yahoo. That's against the terms.

My roller coaster must be broken - it just keeps climbing!

If parked.com was a girl I'd kiss it!

I'm getting higher epc at Fab for some of the same domains, but lower ctr's. So it's a fine game of who pays the most in the end for which domain, with all things considered.

So if you are having trouble with a domain or two and are expecting more - try moving it. Even Donny has admitted in this titanic of a thread that some domains just do better at other parking services.

I don't know how i missed it, especially since i'm watching my stats with more care than an trump his billions but on 1/4/2008 i had my all time highest click value with $17.24 on the payout scale - Outstanding! Thanks Donny & Team! Now, can i please get 100 of these clicks/day?

[jeffoverman]

Wow. 17 bucks a click. Congrats.

I could only imagine a 17 dollar click. Would probably go out and have a few drinks and tell the bar I had a 17 dollar click lol.

Think my highest click at parked was 1.00 lol. Trying find those nice keywords but seems I can't find the higher paying clicks it seems.

Cheers

I am trying out parked (only few days so far) and I noticed some clicks I had seen earlier today on today's ongoing report had suddenly disappeared (still on today's report). what up with that? not nice to see.

 

[Avo19]

Anyone else missing stats for the 15th? I've a blank so far, despite traffic going to my domains.

 

[thoroughbredbet]

I have no stats for today. No Visits, No Clicks usually have about 40 clicks by now

I am doing.nothing to be worried.

Yes there is. You will get your account shut down. Ask Donny if you don't believe me. You are not allowed to advertise on Yahoo. The only 3 top tier engines you can use are Google, MSN, and Ask.
