PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[ZOX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Seabass]

You make $93 in one day on a domain like PotatoSalad,com on four uniques, when you had only made $6 in the last 365 days on the domain - for example.

These earnings have been reversed EVERY time it has happened, I should mention.

GIL, how are your Portuguese domains doing lately at Parked ? Mine have seen some improvement.

I love Louis Armstrong - nobody like him : "My mama done told me... dat..... dat... when I was in knee-pants.... dat....dat ...... son....... a-woman-L sweet talk, and give you the BIG eye, but when the sweet talkings through......a womans a two-face, or worser thing that will leave you singing the bluuuuuuueeeeees in the night. "

Yeah...... but just wait a few years...... only 22% of Brazilians are Online yet.

Country Population Users % Online
Brazil 190,010,647 42,600,000 22.4 %

Portugal is at 73% so the major growth will be from Brazil. There still is a lot of upside.

You're right. Not only does Brazil have enourmous growth potential, they also have a massive pool of very talented internet savvy people. I have no idea were I could buy .com.br domains. Do you?

Satchmo has allways been in my top 10 favorites. " What a Wonderful World" is my favorite song, but he has so many!.

Registro.br - for com.br

I have not started buying com.br in bulk yet b/c there is a pre-registration period that lasts until June 29th for regular citizens using the CPF Gov't ID. Before only businesses with a official bus. number, the CNPJ could get domains. Also, I am working on getting my CPF number from Brazil through a Brazilian friend so I can buy domains without using one of those expensive third parties that charge $135 USD per domain, or something similar.

What is the CPF Number? Is it some identity # for Brazilian citizens? Are you Brazilian? I thought Portuguese domains were expensive at about $35, but $135 is just way off line.

The CPF is a Brazilian identity. No I am not Brazilian, but I do speak Portuguese and there are ways to get the CPF. I know of others that have received the number and had them for years. You need it to get .com.br.

$35 is not expensive if you get the good ones. I have some that do $1000 a year, but not com.br, just generic Portuguese .com's

Me too - mixed in with a disappointing day here and there. But, much better than before.

It seems, if looking at my "Traffic Report" from Parked, that Google sending more traffic now.

 

[Name Trader]

Donny's coming...don't you worry!

That's one of the best things about Parked. Donny can't take a vacation without feeling the urge to check-in and address whatever is on our minds

Best customer service of ANY parking provider, IMHO.

Interesting. I've been seeing a whole lot more Yahoo traffic, myself.

i'm seeing more yahoo traffic compared to google too.......

 

[better]

parked yahoo based thats the reason

 

[Donny]

For the past 2 days, I have barely been able to connect either via wireless or crackberry. But now I figured out how to connect.

About the bots, we implemented a new system about 3 weeks ago that allowed anybody who was blocked to unblock themselves, so unless somebody has figured out a way around it, the bots should go away on their own very quickly if there are any.

So what else do I need to answer? Besides it's no cruise this time, I'm at a condo in Panama City, Florida with all of my family.

Banned Follow up

I have most of my domains with parked. Unfortunately, approx 300 were banned by Google merely because I had them set up at WhyPark Dec '07- Feb '08. I tried to get these unbanned in bulk in an attempt to get traffic back to more reasonable levels, any advice?

park with sedo , then write to add url from google , or you can use people who gets your domain in the first page if they cannot do they dont take money.I said sedo because it is google feed

 

[whitebark]

Anyone else seeing a large increase in referral traffic from yahoo.com? It seems as though yahoo has started to give better search results to parked.com domains.

Or it's just me. Either way it's a nice turn of events.

 

[Donny]

About a month ago, MSN was really loving us. Maybe Yahoo loves us now. Those crazy seach engines.

Wait it out. I had the same thing, and I moved them elsewhere, and eventually they came back into the index. Took about three months, though.

Nope, not just you; I've noticed it too. Yahoo just had a major update. Enjoy it while it lasts (cause somehow they never do).

Good to know...

What Am I Doing Wrong

Hi,

I recent switched from Sedo to Parked.com in hopes of making some more money. Well the first day on parked.com was sort of scary. Domains that were making $.05-.20 per click on Sedo are now only making $.01 on Parked. There are a lot of people on this forum that claim they make anywhere from $.30 - as high as $2.00 per click on Parked.com. What am I doing wrong?

Sincerely,
Ryan
