Looks like Alexa.com is mistaken United-Arab-Emirates.com with EMAS.COM? When I put in United-Arab-Emirates.com it shows a Thumbnail Image of emas.com?

Emas.com has a traffic rank of: 354,715 is this your name as well or was it forwarded to it?

united-arab-emirates.com seems to be working fine for me. Instead of developing it, why not just sell it to the prince, I'm sure he has some spare billions he could send your way.

the way reverse hijackings go these days, even for someone that wipes their arse on £50 notes :sold: and can afford it, no guarantees.
its an ancient generic so should be safe but will just wait for an enduser one day but i will develop at some point later this year, have tons on now.
had it for quite a long time and did nothing with. i certainly won't sell to domainers :sold:

I should have explained a little better.....On Alexa it shows a thumbnail for and info for emas.com when you put in United-Arab-Emirates.com, not your parked page which means your name might have been pointing to it and obtained the same rank and thumbnail http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details/United-Arab-Emirates.com

 

[Fragger]

Very strange. EMAS.com also has the very same Alexa Rank in my Alexa Toolbar when I go to the domain EMAS.com....... How many visitors do you average a month on United-Arab-Emirates.com? Is it close to 6,484? Because that's the number that shows on the parked page EMAS.com. And how on earth did you get a PR of 3 with only 4 backlinks!?! I wish I could do that.

Guy, I would suggest to capitalize the first letters (U A E).

Anybody but me having an unusually slow day today? Even on Fridays I usually have a little traffic, but my stats haven't moved for hours and hours.

 

[Varon]

Same here... slack day.

 

[GILSAN]

Netmeg, I had a slow day till about an hour or two ago when I got a sudden surge in traffic, bringing things back to normal for a friday.

I'm having the complete opposite - ctr is almost 80% still this late into the day with normal traffic levels!


... sadly it's mostly people getting their friday pron fix! LOL

 

[netmeg]

Must be just me then.

Lol. I have noticed a big drop over the past two days in CTR. However, like you said, my one big pron name is still averaging a plus %100 CTR....

BTW- have you customized all your parked pages? I can never seem to break the 30%-40% CTR.... however, I have really only spent the time to customize probably 80 domains or so.... a meek 5% of my domains at parked.

On the plus side though, I have noticed many of my affiliate custom sites going up in the past week. Had one do over $150 in affiliate sales yesterday. Which means that perhaps people are starting to spend money again. I think the economy in the shape it is in has affected revenue across all types of sites... Whether parked, affiliate, mini-sites, ect.

No...mine is showing little signs of life today as well. Just take it for what it is I guess...a slow day.

I fine tune the heck out of them. I do keyword research to make sure I'm using the best possible titles and descriptions - and will go back and change those that don't seem to be doing well.

I've also noticed a surge in affiliate sales across a number of niches. Maybe better times are a coming.

 

[Donny]

The numbers for Friday, were actually above the previous Friday. Those are finalized numbers, just the estimates.

Donny, could you please give some information about the 1 page lander concept. When does a name at parked.com get the 1 page lander? When the name is getting lots of type in traffic, or the name has good keywords, or ..?

Thanks,

looking forward to hearing from you
