[DnPresident]

He referred Donny to Parked and currently making $$$ comission a day :lol:

He's probably out in his big mega yacht somewhere then. 8-X

Indhira - We didn't stop accepting people from Indonesia we stopped accepting people from Indonesia who were only signing up to do arbitrage. There is a huge difference there.

Thanks Donny for your explanation,
Of course I'm not signing up for just to do arbitrage, i will optimize my domain and not to do arbitrage, i can guarantee that is okay slow but sure

So Donny can I still be able to join again

Thank You

Indhira

I'm not allowed to announce the countries until the week before, but they are mainly in South America and South East Asia.

Donny.... Google supports foreign traffic and international growth for them is stronger than U.S. growth these days......but, do you have any idea why Google pays so poorly for international traffic? I have always been perplexed why Google pays so low, but the feeds Parked.com have been using for international traffic pay better than Google.

At least Yahoo is finally getting moving with international traffic, this is a good thing.

I am excited about these new countries being added. I love foreign traffic more than U.S. traffic just because of the quirks and nuances of each language make them more fun to explore.

I'm looking at my wall map and I'm going to take a guess on the 12 countries being added:

Brazil
Argentina
Colombia
Chile
Mexico
Japan
South Korea
Vietnam
Tiawan
Australia
India
South Africa

I don't know about yahoo, but Google figures in some measure of likelihood of conversion for the advertiser, and based on historical data and a bunch of other things we don't even know about, they figure US traffic converts better.

Seabass, Japan is already part of Yahoo's ad feed....i'm pretty sure bcos the PPC from Japanese traffic is usually decent.

So, maybe they have a better grasp of conversions than the third-tier PPC feeds, huh?

I thought third-tier feeds were being used for anything outside of the U.S. Maybe I'm wrong.

Sigh...... high Japan PPC payout? The Japanese make Americans look so poor.

 

[Donny]

Brazil, Mexico, and Australia are already available with Yahoo. South Africa is not on the list.

Japanese traffic is very weird. Somethings that you think are high priced aren't and the ones that you don't are.

As far as Google not paying a lot for certain markets, a lot of it depends on if you have ever advertised in that market. If you have you will know that the prices in most cases are pretty accurate.

Donny, this might have been answered before but I can't find it. I have a domain that was a developed website before I got it and it has a lot of backlinks. It gets 100-150 visitors a day and I just parked it with you. The stats show 10-20ish visitors and 100+ 404s a day. Are the 404s visitors to my parked page and do I get clicks from them? Thanks in advance - Bob

 

[zabijaq]

Try it Yourself and You'll see everything is redirected to main

I know why are You wondering. You don't get that much CTR as with type-in.

 

[Donny]

blitz - That is correct, you are getting 10-20 going to the front page. All of the rest are going to pages that don't exist with us, but we still show them the page like if they were hitting the front page.

Hi,

I have just added a big chunk of my portfolio to Parked. I am not a US resident. Do I still need to complete the W-8 form? It looks very complicated. I haven't had to fill this in elsewhere.

Matt.

 

[Donny]

Matt,
It doesn't matter if you are a US resident or not. We require everybody to fill out a w8 or a w9. It's really not complicated, spend 2 minutes reading the form and you will see what you need to fill out.

Donny

 

[rexvnus]

Hi Donny,

May you please let us know 12 more countries added when you are allowed?

Thank you

 

[Donny]

As soon as I can announce them, I will but I can tell you somebody 10-15 posts back was VERY close to getting all of them.

Hi Donny,

I also noticed that when I parked one of my old sites the traffic numbers are lower than they should be and appear to *not* include traffic which was going to the htm sub-pages.

Two important questions please:

1. why does that traffic not count in the stats assuming it's redirected by your system to the index page?

2. do we get paid for the htm-page traffic?

 

[Donny]

trader - It is counted as a 404. If the surfer goes to domain.com/alskjlaskjdlkj.html we count that as a 404, because it technically is a 404. And we then show the surfer the normal landing page, if they do anything, on the page, search, click whatever, they are added as a visitor as well. You will get paid for all traffic no matter what type of traffic you send us.

Donny - what is the reason for clicks showing a much higher RPC during the current day and then when it settles, usually by next day, it is much less. For example I have one domain that gets only a few clicks a month but yesterday had 4 which were showing a RPC of around 85 cents which equaled over $3 for that domain and today it shows .09 RPC and .35 for the day. Happens somewhat often and wondering the reason, a little disappointed when I checked my stats today. Still like Parked best though. Thanks in advance. - Bob

Today's numbers are estimates, tomorrow's are your final numbers.

Sometimes your earnings will go up.

Hi blitz, I know this question is directed to Donny but since it's the weekend and I'm still awake I'll try to give my newby answer until Donny gets in "me being the newby" just to have something else to do.

I think RPC also has to do with many different factors. One being if you use a particular keyword that Parked has paid out in the past it "the system" gives an estimate based on the average of the previous payout amounts. The reason you didn't get the average could be 'THE or some of the highest paying advertisers are not currently advertising. Maybe for what ever reason your clicks were on an advertiser other than the highest paying one. Coutry of origin of the visitor. My understanding is that let's say you have 10 links on your lander..... All ten do not pay the same and RPC can range quite drastically. Then you have your TS and other factors that I don't want to get in to... so that's my understanding any way .

You can turn off the estimated values.
