Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

So what is the difference with a mini-site if you like to add a few pages with content? What would the advantage of using Parked.com be?

So what is the difference with a mini-site if you like to add a few pages with content? What would the advantage of using Parked.com be?

Just to name a few.

1. I'll need to get my own Adsense account and be subjected to all the strict T&Cs.

2. Adsense will ban me if my site contains only one or two paragraphs of unique content. But with a parked page, I won't get banned even if my unique content is only one sentence.

3. Parked pays twice a month, net 15 days. How often does Google Adsense pay and net how many days? As far as I remember, there is no option for receiving payment via Paypal. I could wait for the cheque to arrive (2 weeks) and bank in the cheque and wait for it to clear (1 month). I don't remember how much Google charges for bank wire but that's gonna eat into our payout, especially for smaller payout amounts.

4. Yahoo doesn't support international publishers. So the only way to earn from Yahoo feed is via parking.

Are you in the US? Google doesn't charge for direct deposit.

 

[GILSAN]

PayPal is available in many countries. I live in Portugal and have PayPal.

No. I'm from Asia. Hence the 2 weeks waiting for my cheque to arrive and another 4 weeks for the cheque to clear. And also, hence the Yahoo publisher program is not available to me.

And You forgot to mention PPC at Adsense is getting worse and worse.

Yep. And as Sebastian wrote. 404 stats for each domain will be handy so we'd no which expired domain brings most 404 (more 404 then UIPs means people are still trying to find original content with bookmarked links so the landing page needs to be optimized) .
Also if You'd provide "search" keywords, we can optimize our domains better :D

 

[Donny]

In the next 2-3 weeks you will have stats by day, week, pay period, monthly, and yearly breakdowns. This means you can now see your stats by month instead of day, if you so choose. This will also include 404's and searches. The traffic analysis will be redone right after the new stats are launched. Netmeg's "domain rating" tool will launch next week. Whitebark's expanded meta tags has already launched, just haven't announced it yet. And hopefully by Monday or Tuesday we will actually have a blog that will continue all of the details about anything new we launch or improve.

That's the plans for the next week or so.

Can this be expanded so that we can modify multiple / groups of domains at once? The optimization tool is okay but time consuming to go through 500 domains...

Excellent! Parked is doing a wonderful job.

What do you mean? You want to be able to set 50 domains to the same keyword? Or you want to be able to set 50 domains to be for sale and use the same custom content on every domain?

Donny

 

[netmeg]

Both, in some cases.

What I'd *really* like is to be able to edit everything into excel, save it to a delimited file and upload it. But you knew that, heh.

Thanks for all updates and new features, Donny.

What are the reasons for accepting or not accepting domains ( registration ) to the parked.com?

This is a business world, if your business, for dark reasons, isn't in the best interest of parked, then I believe they have the right to do whatever they want...

Follow up

Donny,

Both options sound great to me...

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is this week's entry in the "How Not to Acquire a Parked Account" Contest. Don't look now, but I think he's taken the lead.

Dude, you might want to look into a Dale Carnegie seminar.

NEXT!

Not only do your posts give probable cause to Parked rejecting you, but I think you should probably be banned from NamePros for your inflammatory remarks. Moderator?
