PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Varon]

I have a question guys...

I have 2 typo domains. Both are typos of the same domain. I have set the same keyword to both these typo domains. One receives over 100% CTR, while the other gets only 10% CTR. I couldn't reason out a logical explanation. Will appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks.

Is the traffic geo origin of both the domains the same countries?

Good question. No stats available for the domain which has very low CTR. I just parked these domains for the past 1 week. Anyway will keep an eye on the traffic origin. Thanks for the tip.

I keep seeing all these visits, and in some cases searches, but no idea where they're falling. I suspect it's bots, I can't tell.

I also have been wondering if we are getting larger than normal bot traffic this billing period. My visits this billing period are up 40% from historical numbers, but conversely my search % is off approx. 20% and my CTR has dropped to 4.95% from traditional averages of 12 - 14%.

I eagerly await the reporting upgrades.

I doubt very much it'll come back.

Hello Donny ,I read a thread if you have 1 domain for parking you can also use parked.com but you need 249 other persons domains. I understand you will use it for open a parked account will not park domains you dont own.
Can I use this option ? I will not park 249 domains I will only park 1 domain.I want to open parked account.

I see that yesterday's stats haven't updated, but are today's current? Mine haven't moved in a while, and maybe it's a slow day, or maybe they're stuck.

It appears that weekend is always slow.

That seems fraudulent. Parked sets the requirements for a reason.

 

[netmeg]

Not this slow. It's stuck.

 

[tonyfloyd]

stuck for me too...

 

[netmeg]

Actually, that's good news, Tony. We can look forward to an update. Now I know it's not just *me*.

Did any of you ever see your revenue for a domain deducted?

I know to be, the other day that my revenue for a domain was nearly $8.


But today, for some reason, it dropped to $5.


Is this normal??

How can revenue be deducted, or taken away?

You either had revenue adjusted down (its only an estimate until the * is gone) or bot clicks where taken out.

Sounds like Fraud.

I didn't and have never used bots, or any unscrupulous method thereof.

Its just that it was adjusted downwards - wtf

Anyways, I emailed my account manager - I'll wait and see what he says.

No one said YOU used bots.

It was already explained to you, corgi, but your account manager will tell you the same. The first number you see is an estimate. It's based on some algorithm that takes into account what clicks on that domain have received in the past. You don't get the actual amount until the next morning, when Yahoo or one of the other feed providers tells Parked how much they will actually pay for that click. Sometimes it's up, and sometimes it's down. In this case, for you, it was down. The next one might be up. That's how it works.
