PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Seabass]

"Changed the title meta tag" in what way? Could you give us an example?

That's great that you achieved fourth position in Yahoo and got 450 uniques in one day. Congrats!

Hey Joe, I did nothing complicated.....just added some relevant keywords in the Title Tag like Roy had suggested in a previous post. Before I had left all my domains blank for that field. Parked explains, next to the field, that they will use the domain name for that field if you don't enter any keywords. So, I just added keywords to take the place of the domain name.

I'm totally convinced that is why it went to that position at Yahoo.

BTW, as I think netmeg had requested a few weeks ago, a domain level updater will be available via CSV hopefully by the end of next week. It will allow you to modify everything on the normal edit page, keyword, for sale, title, etc...

Not custom content, sorry.

But everything else.

will the editing of custom content ever be made available to those that have a "clue" about web design..etc..?

Wow, that's even better news than the 74 yard punt return for a touchdown that Michigan just ran against Purdue. If you need a beta tester, let me know; I'm the "maverick" of Excel spreadsheet use. For those of us with multiple domains in the same general niche (not to mention hundreds if not thousands) that will make all the difference.

Can anybody verify when Google had any major updates this month?

There isn't really any such thing as a Google major update any more - well, maybe by effect, but not so much by design. In the old days there would be the "Google Dance" once a month or so, where they'd pull the trigger on an update and everything would move around. Yahoo still does it this way. But nowadays (and Google reps such as Adam Lasnik, Matt Cutts and GoogleGuy have discussed this on webmaster forums) Google updates are called "Everflux" for a reason - not one single update, but it's *always* moving around. Plus the results are so unpredictable now even for non-parked domains, what with universal search, personalized search, and your own search history (which they now use even if you aren't logged in to your google account) In order to gauge results on one of my developed sites, I have to query friends across the country, and they each may see something different.

Custom Content is so last year. I'm focusing on custom layouts now.

netmeg - I'll let you know if we need a tester. I'm sure we will.

Great, I maintain all my domains (and put together keywords for new domains) in elaborate spreadsheets anyway, so this will be a huge time time saver - I can just concatenate, cut and paste my little heart out.

 

[TOXX]

What we're witnessing is what makes Parked.com BY FAR the BEST parking company around. :hearts:
...
There is a problem...and we all try to get it fixed...this is why Parked will ALWAYS be the best! :tu:
...
THANKS to ALL!
...
Parked is an exclusive club that works...we all should be proud to be part of it!
...
Ok, that's enough praise for one day...I just had to share my emotions :lol:

I haven't really looked into the Google thing that people are mentioning, I definitely know that they are indexing domains, because one of my says it was updated 11 hours ago. I'll have to look into the Google issue some more, not sure what we could do, but I'll take a look. Can anybody verify when Google had any major updates this month?

When you see somehting like domain.ca/click.php?c%3Efn%3AlbXGkd3mocj6k... and their is no text at all that means that they indexed the page at some point it still exists, but they can't remove it because we have them blocked from visiting that page.

I can guarantee that if your TQ goes up then you should make more money. Understand that if you have a 10, you may actually have a 9.5 or greater, a 9 maybe a 8.5 to a 9.49. Sometimes I have seen if somebody has an 8 one week and then a 7 the next they don't really see a difference, but if the following they go to a 9 they can see the difference.

Donny

Donny I also just noticed that I have quite a number of domains like "domain.ca/click.php?c%3Efn%3AlbXGkd3mocj6k..."

What would be the reason/s for blocking them from Google?

I also noticed that I have lots of domains that are no longer indexed

 

[Donny]

URLs like that were indexed a long time ago, I think over a year ago. We told Google to not index those urls and they did anyway, we told them about the bug on their side and they stopped indexing them. But now they won't update them either. I think I might have a way of getting them to remove them, but I'll have to see if it will work or not.

[netmeg]

If you could come up with a way to show the Googlebot a 404, shouldn't they drop out after a year or so?

These are new ones.

For those with this problem you can try as I did - but make sure you move them to a parking company that is search friendly! Sedo would be a no-no for this purpose. Fab has been good for this and have been paying really well as of late too!

Looking at those domains where I did put custom content - none were indexed funny.

Donny...PLEASE...Custom Layouts by the end of this year?

 

[netmeg]

I see a note that says:

2008/11/02: 10-30-2008 Stats
Final stats for 10-30-2008 are delayed.
full story


is that really for 10/30, or did someone just forget to update the date?

 

[Avo19]

30th is delayed..and probably now the 1st also

 

[whitebark]

I was beginning to feel left out of the bad bot traffic the past few weeks - well they finally visited whitebark! Anyone else seeing crazy stats starting late last night and into today?

 

[Pred]

Hi Donny,
any movement on .mobi parked pages? we still have the drab hideous grey ones.
considering how classy parked's normal parked pages are, the mob ones are really terrible. do you know when they will be revamped or given other options?

 

[vbigdeli]

30th is delayed..and probably now the 1st also

1st is delayed now

 

[Donny]

They are all up to date now. Ask has been having stats problems for the past week or so, they claimed it should have been fixed by this weekend, but it's still having issues.

Donny

 

[DnPresident]

Probably to advanced but A great feature that I'm pretty sure a lot of us could use is in the domain statistics if it would say 1 or 2 click lander, so we don't have to manually view and review each and every domain from day to day. It's difficult enough to remember them and now that names are changing to 2 click landers like crazy there's no way of knowing without looking at each one which is very time consuming.

 

[Seabass]

Showing the date of the last time each domain has been updated in any manner would be helpful so as to keep track what should be looked at again ; Or if a person was on a editing/updating binge it would be nice not to have to keep making a mental note of where stopping point is.
