Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

Dave - It's better to see you freak out sometimes. We all need to do it sometimes.

Stats aren't down, they are just a little behind today. A few hours behind actually. No need to worry.

Donny

Was wondering why stats were so low for a monday. Thanks

 

[Donny]

bots, bla bla, bots, bla bla, bots, bla bla. Any questions?

Donny

Should we ignore the update time?

 

[Seabass]

oo

 

[DnPresident]

bots, bla bla, bots, bla bla, bots, bla bla. Any questions?

Donny

Ya coulda let me keep atleast 1 click each so I'd know what they paid :D

DomainGovernment.com and dnsMarketing.com had their first clicks ever

The Partnership for a Bot-Free America

I *so* love this!

 

[Donny]

This is just classic.

The stats are updating every 15 minutes like they always do, the problem is right now it's taking a long time for us to gather all of the stats, so it's still a few hours behind. We are already have about 5 times more clicks that normal today.

Oh well, back to banning bots.

Is the maintenance page turned on so you can update the stats faster?

 

[Donny]

It was down for 138 seconds, that's how long it took me to restart everything. With the hopes of speeding things up and stopping some of the bots.

Not to add to the fray, but I'm noticing some extremely low revenue per click on traditionally high payout searches. For example, a geo+attorney domain had 5 unique visitors and 1 click through. It paid .04! These usually pay at least a $1.50 minimum.

Another geo+hotels name had 3 uniques with 8 total clicks for a whopping total of .40.

Any insight into what's going on here? ...

Answer: Just found a likely contributing factor. My traffic is typically around 80% U.S. based, but today's stats showing only 17% from the U.S., and 23% from Spain. I doubt the accuracy of this.

 

[Seabass]

oo

 

[Donny]

The traffic analysis is 5 days worth of data like sebass mentioned. It also includes all clicks whether filtered or not.

Donny

 

[netmeg]

My traffic is showing 95% from spain at the moment - I suspect that's where the bots are coming from at the moment.

 

[mydomainbook]

My Parked.com stats are very messed up the last two days. Yesterday's stats show 34 visits and over 2000 searches...

 

[Varon]

And I have been banned from viewing my Parked domains... from IE. Looks like my IP has been identified as a bot source. Everything is fine with Firefox...


Problem resolved..

Varon - I always recommend turning off your computer, kicking it 3 times, taking the coffee mug out of the coffee holder (dvd drive), and turning the power back on. If you have a voodoo doll, that sometimes helps.
