PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[netmeg]

Anybody besides me having trouble logging in to Parked? I get as far as the password, but then I get a page not found for secure.parked.com. Domains seem to be up though.

No problem here, although i'd prefer not to get in - today's results are ... (55% of the previous days)

It works for me.

 

[netmeg]

Nemmine, it's back up for me now.

 

[mrizos]

Payouts and PPC amounts are starting to stabilize for me but traffic is still weaker than it should be.

Same here...traffic is unusually weak for some reason.

 

[DnPresident]

Yea Mike, I´ve been having an identical situation to yours. A 10 gave me bad results and the no score gave me excellent results.

Well now I have a new situation in hand. I have an 8. Could this mean that the numbers will settle down?

I sure miss my no score

I went some days with no score and my rev seemed to stay about the same{Didn't really move much after finalizing}but for Jan 25 I show a 9 and lost more for the 24th than some people even make in a day or 2 or 3 working at the local car wash

Be easy Donny

Today's stats don't seem to be matching in anyway my AW clicks.

 

[packrat]

are they one click domains? I'm finding that my one click domains RPC has crashed while my 2 click domains are held up much better (comparatively). Maybe the diversity of the keywords has something to do with it?

Nope - 2 page landers. We'll see what today brings. Oddly enough at times
it seems that the more clicks I have the lower the RPC - this seems to hold
true for any type of domain.

The reason the lower RPC comes from multiple clicks per user. All ads dont pay the same so if a user clicks and ad that is 1.00 one that is .75 and 1 that is .50 your RPC will be .75 where as if they only clicked 1 ad it would be 1.00 and you would be 1.25 less in revenue. The other consideration is when people have daily limits and run out of funds for the day and there ad dissapears and it was a top 1-2 so now ads are cheaper because the high paying ad is gone

Today's stats don't seem to be matching in anyway my AW clicks.

It hasn't been matching for some time now. If I have 100 clicks on an adwords campaign then I have about 60 on my domain at parked.

For example right now:

domain1 at AW = 754 clicks
domain1 at parked = 514 visitors

Is this because my adwords account is reporting CST and parked reports on PST?

 

[bradocconor]

maybe a 1 is the new 10

Other considerations:

Google has sometimes upto 3 hr delay in reporting clicks where as parked is a 15 min update.

Parked filters have filtered a potential fraud click show no credit on that paticular visitor even though ad words shows as a click

 

[turner10]

anybody else having their Parked domains time out?

Never mind they are working now.

Could this be because of the time factor? What I mean is, Google is located in California while Parked is I believe in the East Coast or Florida. Would the 3 hour time span make a diference in this situation?

Actually parked servers are on PST

All stats with an asterisk are estimates until we receive the final revenue numbers from our providers. Last Update: 2008-01-26 09:05:57 PST

Thanks for clarifying that Jeff.

AdWords stats roll over at midnight, depending on what time zone you specified when you created your account.

AdSense stats roll over at midnight Pacific time, regardless of where you are.

I've never found that to be the case. I think Google like to give themselves some leeway just in case. Personally I've never experienced an update lag of more than 30 min at most.
Numbers are in again and I'm down 15% on unusually low traffic. Perhaps the US economy scare is kicking in? At least my other Yahoo feed providers numbers are up. It's becoming a balancing act....

 

[netmeg]

I was actually up a little, but yes, traffic was light. But looking over the last couple months, my Fridays are typically pretty light in my niches, even more so than Saturdays. Sundays (after church) usually do better than either Friday or Saturday for me.

 

[madpoet]

Bleh, my streak is broken and I went down after final numbers. Ah well!
