PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[CoolMark]

Thanks CoolMark. Will give it a try soon. Are you still using CJ?

GIL

No, CJ booted me about two years ago when my earnings went up to over $900 and payment was due.

So nowadays I stick to using lots of parking providers and I also use a few different affiliate providers for sites I'm developing. I think I'm going to have to develop all of my domains because parking revenue is almost nonexistant now.

Are we allowed to have a list our sites that're parked with parked.com in our siggies? With links?

Cy, Wondering about this. I can't find reference to this policy anywhere in the FAQs (I searched the FAQs with the term signature). Using your sig to help get a parked page indexed is helpful when you've spent some time adding content (Parked and Bodis are examples).

I've had some luck with parked pages doing well in Yahoo and MSN search results so having some Namepros backlinks would be helpful.

Again no offence implied but I can't find reference to your comment.

Thanks

For the most part this is to protect You and Your Parking account(s) - You really need to worry about the Parking Companies TOS when it comes down to it. I've never seen a conventional Parking company that allows these type of links myself ...

Donny may be able to shed some light on this as far as "Parked.com" goes.

the butler - two months ago parked is giving permission to link your parked page in your sign, but after arbitrage is not allowed from parked , including sdx(starter of this thread) delete their domains from sign.You can write your domain's name in your sign like sdx ,I think it is allowed because sdx's account is not terminated by Parked.Look at sdx's message.

quick question, does parked charge for direct deposits?

thanks

 

[Donny]

dazed101 - We don't charge anything for us to pay you. If you would like us to charge you for paying you, we might be able to work something out.

I don't believe so. I know there is no fee receiving into paypal either.

I have over 500 domains at Parked, and I really don't think they're *all* crap, yet, I don't get but one or two clicks a day, and that's on a GOOD day. Often I don't get any clicks at all. When I go look for my domains in the search engines, they rarely appear anymore. They're indexed, but they don't show up in the first 1000 results for searches, and that's whether or not they have content. They used to, but they don't anymore. My US traffic (which used to be 80%+) has dropped down to less than 1% according to the traffic analysis.

I'm having the exact same experience at Fabulous, Revenue Direct, Bodis and pretty much anywhere else.

I think the main thing that has changed is that there's really no (legitimate and/or approved) way to gain and maintain traffic anymore, unless you have really good type-ins. And it's *hard* to get really good type-ins.

There are other changes that have been made at the Yahoo and Google level as far as their advertising programs that I'm sure are affecting the domain industry as well. (Google just allowed its advertisers to exclude ads from parked domains on the search and content network, and from what I hear, many advertisers did just that)

The forces here are pretty much all beyond my control; all I can adjust at this point are my expectations - I originally bought the domains for their future resale value, not so much to monetize with parking, and also as a write-off against the income from my developed sites, and that's what I have to keep reminding myself. If I make a little money on parking now, that's great. But I no longer expect to.

Google and yahoo have changed greatly over the years. They now look at a lot more things than they used to. For example if you generally updated your site at least once ever 1-5 days for months, then stopped for a few weeks you are going to drop dramatically. On another note, page rank and inbound links help a ton. If you want more info on that wiki it and look at googles page rank algorithm, its pretty complex but I'm sure you will understand it. With those two things I mentioned, you can see there is no way to keep a decent place on the search engines without proper optimization and updating frequently. Its mega hard to do it on a full blown website, let alone a parked domain.

Very cool, congratz!!!

Hopefully by the end of next week you will also have the ability to have another new option for customers to contact you. We plan to make available the ability to have a form as well. So you will now have 3 choices. #1, email, #2, a link to another site, and #3, a form and we will automatically send you an email. Hopefull this will add a few more sales as well.

Donny

 

[epasaport]

link to a forum ? what is it ? if someone link it to another parked page and not a forum ,will you allow?

 

[advaita]

I think he meant form not forum

 

[epasaport]

I think he meant form not forum

He also said link to another site

 

[Donny]

Sorry it was corrected and it was "form".

Hey Donny,

Thanks for being so accessible and keeping on top of member questions and concerns. You Rock!

Even though NamePros doesnt allow domains live links to any parking service pages in sigs, does Parked.com have a specific rule concerning this?

Peace,
Cy
