PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Ja$on]

Hey everyone. I am looking for a 125x125 button to promote parked, anyone got one?

 

[kemjika11]

I just moved to Parked. The pay is good but my CTR is low at 11%. I have optimized all of my domains. I've heard that it's usually at around 20-25 for normal accounts. Anyone have any suggestions?

Your CTR might be low because your CTR previously stayed constant, but you started getting more uniques. If that happens(like in my case recently), your CTR will go down...

I think that the parked system already uses the best possible keywords for both CTR and RPC...

It usually does, but here is my experience today adding a domain...

domain I just got in the .ca tbr - dimwit. When first adding it I got a rather generic slew of keywords and template choices. Okay, so I changed the keyword to 'stupid'. Uh oh - not a PC choice! Categories with stupid included 'deaf' and 'blind'!

So I then changed the keyword to 'moron'. Top category choices are now 'Presidents' and 'jobs'! LOL So only a moron would want the job of president!
:hehe:

Still looking for a good keyword match I then tried 'idiot' and got 'flash tutorials'. Hmm what's that saying?

Not ready to give up I try 'dunce' and get 'home' as the top choice. Hey parked.com knows you have to be a dunce right now to invest heavily in homes!

Thanks parked for making me laugh!

I got it for an email address mostly, so I'll park it till I can develop it. Anything it makes till then is just a bonus.

Been having some laptop problems this week, I'll try to answer any questions for me sometime this weekend.

Something annoying i've noticed.
Yesterday, I had a $1 click on one of my domains.
When I opened parked today and saw the stats, it suddenly turned into a $0.05 click.

what's going on??

When your looking @ the dashboard and see all those different dates, any that have a asterisk are just estimates. When the asterisk is gone, the RPC is final. Sometime it go up, sometime it go down.

If it really annoys you so much you do not like the feature, just go to 'account information' on the right top of the page you will see Account Settings
Dashboard/Report Settings
Include estimated statistics in reports: Yes No

Just click no - Click save and baM! no more estimates.

 

[tonyfloyd]

are stats not updating today??..or is it just me?....

Either that or the Internet has gone bankrupt too.

 

[ebatcave]

Same here. No updates for about 2 hours. The time stamp updates every so often (not 15 minute increments) but nothing else...

 

[DnPresident]

Hallelujah, I must be slippin, didn't notice the delayed stats, shoowee!

I might hit $2 after all. Hell Yeah and it's Friday too

 

[Varon]

Something seems to be wrong with the revenue figures which just updated.

 

[DnPresident]

The time is cought up but the revenue is a little behind?

I'm sure Parked is on it though

 

[ebatcave]

Message from my account manager:

"The stats were just delayed updating today. No clicks or visits or stats were lost, we recorded them, just were unable to process them during the delay."

 

[tonyfloyd]

so....its something they are aware of and working on???.....

 

[ebatcave]

I hope so! There's been a little bit of movement on the stats, but I'm still down about 2,000 visitors from what I normally get this time of day...
