PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Broker]

I want to put a clickable banner which goes to another url and believe me, I've tried everything. It looks good in the content area but the site just shows some misc code with a red x.

 

[Donny]

Just PM me the details, what domain, the url to the banner and the link you want it to go to.

Donny

pm sent Donny, thanks.

 

[Donny]

Tony - I'm lazy. Actually I work so much on other peoples names that I pretty much don't even pay attention to my own. Except to renew them. All of the money I make goes to my paypal account and that becomes my wifes online spending money. Since I never see the money myself I don't even pay attention to it.

But yes I should set all of the meta tags.

talking about meta tags, i don't have any meta tags for any of my names , so i was wondering : what is one supposed to put in the "description" field? and do i just put different related words divided by spaces in the "keywords" section? finally, which is better, parked doing it "dynamically" or me doing it manually? thanks

You're supposed to use it to describe the page. The meta description provides the 'snippet' that you see in Google SERPS after the title (link). The purpose of it is to further describe the page, so that it entices the searcher to click on it. Google claims that the meta description is not used for search terms as the title is - I'm not sure I entirely believe that. But it's generally better to write the meta description tag in plain english (or whatever your language) rather than just string a bunch of keywords together.

If your url (whether parked or developed) comes up in a search result, that meta description tag is your best bet to convince someone that you have something on that page that they're looking for. Think of it as marketing text.

I'm not sure how many characters Parked allots for that field; Google displays around 155 (including punctuation and spaces)

As far as the keywords field - Google doesn't use it, and there are conflicting reports about whether Yahoo uses it. At worst, it will cost you the time it takes to do it. Shouldn't hurt you, but I tend not to bother, because I don't think it helps.

over 1 hour no updates - are they suppose to update every 15 minutes ?

 

[thetruman]

maybe you didn thave visitors? Updates are very very precise

 

[Donny]

Wolfis what are you doing over here?

Database changes to handle some new features. So updates are currently not being processed.

Donny

 

[wolfis.com]

thought i come where all the action is..

no problems with new features - i like everything new.

 

[deannam]

My numbers aren't updating either and I don't think it's no visitors.

 

[goodkarmaco]

I am also thinking Parked is doing good.

You don't see Donney sitting at the Traffic convention with the big players, like Matt from Sed- and talking about parking issues if his company is a little fish or going under.

He says it like it is, his wife takes it all, lol.

 

[staffjam]

Not happy with Parked at present.
Earnings have tanked for Mobile Phones and Credit card related names and a lot of this is quality traffic from USA.
Gonna be jumping ship very soon unless there's a big reversal.

I hope one of the new features include Bulk Edit of template colors.

 

[namegame]

I hope one of the new features include Bulk Edit of template colors.

And bulk edit of keywords also.

 

[Seabass]

And bulk edit of keywords also.

That's already available under "Optimize This Portfolio" link.

 

[namegame]

That's already available under "Optimize This Portfolio" link.

Hmmm, I can't seem to find where that link is. I know about the Mass Modify link under the Portfolios link, but that doesn't seem to allow for bulk change of keywords. Any clarification will be appreciated.
