[Spade]

Yup, I just recieved my payment, and - another note - Custom images with "logos" uploaded, I'll see if this imrpoves CTR for the few Ive tried.

With all this talk of images - and I've asked before - can we name our images? Doing so can have a beneficial outcome in some cases - being picked up in google's image search. Right now it just attaches the domain name and image size - ie - domainname_385x261.jpg. It would be beneficial to have it as - domain-name.jpg - or better still freely named - whistler-mountain-olympic-venue.jpg, and whistler-mountain-map.jpg

That way by aptly naming our images for the search engines we can get a leg up on the competition. Getting an image for a popular searched image term on the first page can bring pretty decent traffic.

stats are settled under portfolio

Roy,

That is an excellent idea - and one which I hope can easily be implemented. Donny?

Parked payments have always reached my checking account a day before the payoff date. This is really my idea of an ideal 100% hassle free parking provider. The ups and downs come and go, but its part of the business. But to feel secure as a customer and be valued and "answered" to directly, takes domain parking to a whole new level.

I have been evaluating many other parking platforms and actually come to the conclusion that this really is the best. A genuine boon for domainers. A place to learn, make mistakes, make losses some days, yet smile at the end. I personally know many friends here who started off making nothing but today atleast have some part of their bills paid by their earnings from parked.

Cool ! Okay Back to Mitt Romney... if he had given today's speech a few days back... he was awesome today ! Sad to see him leave.

Okay Back to Mitt Romney...

GACK!

how do u get rid of meanwhile.com re-direct?

What are the implications of the meanwhile.com redirect? Thanks

 

[netmeg]

Well for one thing, if you're driving traffic to it with PPC, you risk having the search engine disapprove the ad because the destination url won't match the display url.

I believe you get the meanwhile.com when someone visiting your website outside of yahoo accepted countries. I've got this page when I visit one of my site from asia.

Donny will re-confirm my assumption.

I totally agree with you.

Cheers to Parked.

adwords shuts u down for your display url not being the same as the destination url...they both must be the same.....

I hadn't such issue...

Well, I have had a few campaigns shut down for the same reason. "Inaccurate Display URL". Adwords regularly reviews your campaign and sometimes the reviews are done from their India/overseas offices. Well, they end up seeing the meanwhile page and before you know it, your campaigns are stopped.

 

[netmeg]

I didn't have such issue...

If your account gets pulled up on a manual review, you will. It's kind of like being audited by the IRS - you can roll along quite well as long as you're under the radar, but if something flags you and they start looking - well, watch out.

If you do a minor change at display URL or ad text,US team will review your ad and approve it.

I know, but then again after a few days you end up with the same error once the overseas algorithmic Google lads check it.
