PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[netmeg]

They sent me an email last summer, and they sent another one when they started actually acting on it. You only saw 29 entries on THAT blog - there was a hell of a lot of talk about it on other forums, blogs, and twitter.

I'm only one advertiser, and I have no idea how many others actually pulled out. But a lot of the people I run with said they did, and even if that's only a small percentage of the total - if they happen to be players in *your* niche, it could possibly be a factor. I'm just sayin'.

Isn't a chick running Yahoo now? What a first impression.

They announced this before the chick took over.

LOL...the stupidity of men heh?!

Sacry to think of the numbers that were pulled in an instant. One guy mentioned 600k.

Are Yahoo trying to hand the internet to Google on a silver plater

I give him less than 5 min before he's banned. 9 PM here.

You're being generous...lol

Sorry Lumpy, I was driving my Dad to the airport, otherwise it would have been 5 minutes

He's gone.

I only use Yahoo Feeds now. Been contacted by Fabulous and NameDrive.com
lately about testing them out again and they are top-notch companies that I would recommend. However, they are Google Feeds and I feel my little part of being loyal to Yahoo feeds is important to keep that parking channel going. If it turns into Google or else, we are "screwed"

FWIW, I pulled about $50K/month worth of client advertising out of Yahoo a few weeks ago when they changed their terms and conditions, and I wasn't the only one.

Thanks for the info Meg, and like Seabass said, nice to see you back again.

I don't know if it's related, but my visitors and especially revenue plunged since the beginning of the year.

Tried to Rep you but got the message to rep someone else. :red:

 

[Seabass]

oo

 

[bmugford]

I am pretty sure NP requires you to rep 20 other people before you can leave rep for the same person again.

Brad

I got that message also about needing to rep someone else......strange.

I just figured I would come back and do it later.

A bug in NamePros maybe?

I tried to rep firefly the other day and it said "We're glad that you're fond of this member, but please give some rep points to some other members before giving it to firefly again."

I've never repped him as far as I know.

Just tried again and it said the same thing so it's definitely something screwy with vBulletin or NP.

Lol Dave.

You did about 3-4 months ago. Brad is right BTW. You have to add rep to 20 people before you can rep someone you had previously.

It's just a way of making sure people don't abuse the system and constantly rep just one person and inflate their rep bars without good reason.

 

[DnPresident]

Only 19 more to go LOL.

I really have no idea how many I've repped since then. Is there a way to know besides remembering?

Some of you big domainers need to sell some of those high priced domains to get the economy going. Dow steadily sinking.

Just a little update on the Yahoo Blog. I talked to a few people who are at the conference who are from Yahoo and they didn't know all of the details, but they said they would let me know more later today.

Didn't know that - rep coming your way!
