PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[mrizos]

Could someone comment on how well gambling related (poker etc.) names
do at Parked? Is RPC very low or decent?

Thanks...

Pretty Decent. I've gotten a few .50 clicks.

And some of those people would don't want to pay $3 or $4 a gallon in gasoline in the U.S. will join the crowd to shop online for better prices on goods. Instead of going out to the movies, the might look to the web for more entertainment. People forced to conserve their gas stay home more. And those that stay home more will spend a % of that time more online than they usually are. Perhaps fueling ecommerce and whatnot. maybe higher chances for some hits on parked domains and more clicks.

I don't know, just a thought. A theory. Could be, and probably is complete garbage. lol

I hope you are right - and you just may be. After all, there is a whole lot of money in the U.S. , even in a real bad economy. My gut feeling is that it will all depend on how ugly it all gets later this year or early 2009. If it gets really bad I suspect folks will just freeze up altogether and there will just be a pittance of what we used to get in clicks until things look a little sunnier

Americans get scared very, very easily by any negative news, which the media helps feed solely for ratings, and then we all clam up . Then when things look rosy again we spend like we are totally stupid and have no rational.

Let's all hope it becomes "fashionable and trendy" to be a money saver by purchasing everything under the sun online. If we get a movement going it could be really rosy. Imagine if some major studies came out that said you could save major money online and also help stop some greenhouse gases by "doing your part" and ordering online instead of driving? If that could get moving like recycling did in the early 1990's we could be sitting in high cotton.

But, once again - all speculation.

Good to know. Thanks for the reply!

to buy online as the purchaser saves fuel and the economy is better off does not make sense to me.

The truth is buying online may be more polluting and may be worse for the economy.

Why? In any town you can simply go to Wal- Mart or your favourite store. With online shopping, your item arrives by U.S. mail or U.P.S., delivered by hand with the truck operator driving up to your driveway. when you buy at a big store the items are brought into the store by semi load, thus saving energy.

That being said I am inclined to believe that online shopping will grow. That makes me happy as I own two online shopping stores.

My .ca gambling domains didn't do bad at parked, but they do better at fabulous. averaging .75 cents a click there.

Here's something to maybe wonder about.....I added Beijing-China.Asia and OklahomaCity.Asia to Parked right around the same time, I think at the end of March. I added original content to OklahomaCity.Asia and left Beijing-China.Asia alone. Beijing-China.Asia is indexed for over a week now but OklahomaCity.Asia is still not.

Coincidence or is Goog ignoring Parked's pages when Content is added? Might it just be the Meta description that it doesn't like or goog just hasn't visited it yet?

i have 1000's of names parked at parked - but very rarly get even one name indexed - i even see meanwhile referrers on generic one worders and they also changed back to 2 landers on generics lately - i added a generic beauty product to parked a few hours after i regged it and tried to change the lander to the product and it is automatically marked as adult and blocked so that i can not change it - i contact my account manger and he tells me that it will take 2 weeks or more for yahoo to change this and that the block of a generic 2 word beauty product domain .

i myself am not happy with parked at all as most of my domains never get clicks evenso they have a few visits per day .

i only have them parked there as long nothing better is out there ( that means parking companies that actually look into accounts and optimize the domains ).

but then maybe you have preferred treatment with getting domains indexed by google.

Parked is the best I'm aware of and absolutely no preferred treatment here.

Ironic. The same week I have my worst day, I also have one of my best. Yesterdays stats seem to be finalizing quite high, Including a $5.87 click....

Yea; I hesitated to say anything and jinx myself, but things seem to be moving up, slowly but surely for me. I had a $6.52 click at Parked day before yesterday. Thought those were long gone for me.

Wolfis - Yahoo's banned/adult system is automatially done on their end, but getting it removed from that system is not easy. They are only "fixed" on Wednesday but you need to give them at least 3 business days before had to get it completed by Wednesday. So if somebody was submitted by Tuesday, it should if approved be done by next Wednesday.

If anybody knows one of our account managers who gives preferred treatment, please let me know, my account manager has been sucking lately. Oh wait...

It looks like the magic number right now is 64% of the U.S. population will buy online to save on gas in a weak economy, according to this poll:

I see the opposite.

For me to buy online keeps me off the road running from store to store reducing my emmisions. In a lot of cases the items arrive in hand delivered mail otherwise they are dropped off by a vehicle making other stops along the way.

Regardless of the distribution point semi trailer traffic is involved whether it goes to the post office or an individual store.If anything, there is an additional drop made to a department store depot for distribution to individual stores.

An "extreme case scenario" would be the situation that everything we purchased would be mail ordered. Millions of cars would be off the road and store parking lots empty. They would be replaced by a smaller fleet of delivery trucks making frequent stops.

Yes, I agree. I find that we, as a family, are ordering more and more products online.

Title/Meta Tags

How important is it to use the Title, Description, and Keyword Meta Tags on Parked? Is there a real tangible benefit from using these fields?

 

[netmeg]

Keyword Meta Tags - probably not all that important. Nobody significant uses them anymore.

Titles and Descriptions can be important for search engine presence, but it's kind of a crap shoot whether or not you get indexed and/or rank, so it's up to you how much time you want to spend on it.

Put your most important/likely search terms in the title. The meta description tag is what creates the snippet on a search result page - they don't use the words there for search terms, but it's supposed to entice the visitor to click on your page, as opposed to the other nine on the Google page.

Watching idiots online since 1985...

^^^^

Nice...

 

[Name Trader]

I want to spend about 10 seconds per domain. But currently it's about 30-60 seconds per domain... and that's cutting n pasting the Title into the Meta Tags

 

[oblongpeg]

I have just popped a few domains over to Parked.com to see how it goes.

Just a couple of questions.

1. How are you preferring to get the site to Parked. Which way do you feel is the most efficient in terms of getting spidered. I am have set them up using the redirect file in my root option.

2. When I view the source code I notice theat all the juicy bits are encrypted. I cannot see how this is going to help with indexing and fresh content on the site.

Anyone got any views on this?

Thanks.

Mark
