PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

Sounds like a better service than Sedo. If I had a traffic domain I would rather develop it instead of parking it. You would definitely earn a lot more and your domain would be worth more too. Yes, it takes a little more work but it's worth it!

Developing requires extra time and extra money as well as professional help..Its not that easy to develop a website and then start earning in short time..But For parking it needs 10 mins to do everything...=)

What is the Current Click rate on parked for your domains?I've been using sedo for parking domains and they give €0.02 per click .

Depends on the domain name and niche. I had one domain that got a .01 click today. I had some others that did several hundred times better. In general, I have done much better with Parked than anywhere else, particularly SEDO.

Yea, you're right about that. It does take a whole lot of time. Especially for people who have hundreds of domains or don't have time to develop websites. Those are the people that parking is convenient for.

Donny I understand your logic of 1 click landers paying less than 2 click landers but when 1 click landers convert at 80% and 2 click landers convert at 30% dosent that make up for the 20% or so less from a 1 click lander to a 2 click lander? I look for 1 click landers when registering a domain if I intend to park it. Also can we set a keyword at what we want for domains like AAAB.com or lYEj.com etc

DATA FEED for CUSTOM CONTENT POSSIBLE?

A question for Donny and those of you who are more tech savvy (and please forgive if this has been covered in an earlier thread):

Is it possible to add a data feed like a stock or commodity price ticker to the custom content area of our parked domains? I'm talking about something pretty basic, that just shows continually updated prices for a few indexes like the Dow, S&P 500, etc. perhaps a few commodity prices like oil.

If so, does anyone know how to do this and any good sources of free code to make this happen?

Thanks in advance.

I can't get on Parked.com

My measely portfolio of 200+ domains, most of which being .info (i know-yuck), apparently isn't good enough. Oh well....

Donny, are you the one to see about this?

 

[Donny]

buygooddomains - You may make more money on one domain with a 1 click lander, but if you have 50 or 100 you would overall make more on 2 click that 1 click. Sure you can set the keyword on a domain like aaab.com.

zenon - This isn't available yet, but will be at some time.

nhgumbah - I can only look at your application and ake recommendations. It is not 100% up to me.

Does anyone have any general advice about putting custom content on their domains? I dont have any yet, but was thinking I should start. Do y'all put just images relating to keywords? Or write something yourself relating to the subject? What is the most effective kind of content?

 

[zenon]

Thanks for the reply, Donny.

At Parked: For me content on the page like in the footer seems to help sometimes and Filling out the title tag and the meta tag description and keywords are a must.

An example is PurchaseGoldBullion.com: on msn at the time of posting this it shows up for almost every keyword I've put in the keyword box like - Purchase Gold - purchase gold bullion - Gold bullion - and so on.

Hope this helps a little. It's really hit & miss

Eeeek! My parked.com stats today are only a 5% CTR and an RPM of less than $5!! Not sure if this is just a fluke, or if something is going on. My RPM usually averages around $50 and my CTR around 30-40%!!! anyone else having a bad day, and can make me feel a little better?

I'm also having a lousy day, very similar or worse than yours. :zzz: Hope that makes you feel better.

Perhaps it's to do with Obama's VP choice, or because it's a saturday. Lets wait till the end of the day and see what happens.

 

[netmeg]

Yep. Visits about the same, but very few clicks/low RPM. It's 92 degrees here; too hot to care. It'll pick back up. It always does.

 

[Varon]

Yeah...Obama woke up most of my friends at 3 am with his VP pick text message... may explain why many people are still asleep.

Thanks. I only have a couple posts on it because I just got it back up this week. I didn't know how to properly transfer databases and when I moved servers I lost over a years worth of posts. Grrrrrrrrrr.
