PARKED.COM - Official Thread!

[TOXX]

Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

 

[Donny]

Bigslim - The reason Skenzo's numbers are finalized is because they are paying you whatever the want to pay you, trust me they will make it back in the end.

Trust me Ian seems to have more Yahoo feeds than he knows what to do with and his are delayed as well.

I got 4 phone calls from different people today telling us about the problems and how sorry they are for the delay. I wish I could say that it was somthing on our end, that would be easier, because I could fire somebody.

I would love to say that the numbers will come out today, but personally I wouldn't expect more than a day's worth today (hopefully), with a lot more coming tomorrow or Wednesday.

That wouldn't be so funny if your employees see this :D

Donny...thanks for the update man.....i was starting to think that maybe you really were 4-wheeling in Southern Alabama.....lol..

How long does it take to update a list of mass modified domains?

And how can I edit the "Related Words" for 100 domains at once?

Greetings!
Sebastian

 

[SebastianJu]

I downloaded the settings first. Till now its 1 and a half hour away since I uploaded the csv but no change till now... Maybe Donnies people must take a look at the changes before the update?

Ill wait...

Greetings!
Sebastian

Ditto

Glad it's not just me.

 

[Donny]

Everything is so far behind right now because of the stats being behind it's causing a problem with our estimation formula, which is why not many if any clicks are being shown in the stats. This is really getting annoying.

@Donny

Till now I dont have the domains updated that i mass updated. Why that?

No worries Donny.

It's not your fault, and eventually this will all get figured out.

Good morning!

Relax, take a big deep breath of that fresh Tampa Oxygen and chant...."nam yo ho renge kyo" about 10 times and you'll feel better. :tu:

sounds like "nom yo ho rengay kyo"

We have faith in you.

 

[Donny]

Estimates are running again. Crossing fingers for Yahoo to figure everything out today.

SebastianJu - Not sure what you modified or uploaded, shoot me an email with what you uploaded and I'll take a look. Or try the upload again, maybe it failed and you just didn't see the error message.

Donny

 

[SebastianJu]

Can you pn me your email-adress?

When uploading the csv I always get the message: Domains will be updated shortly.

After that I didnt get a mail or something. No error and no success-message...

If you give me your email I send you the csv...

Greetings!
Sebastian

 

[netmeg]

I think maybe donny at parked.com will get to him...

Crossing fingers for Yahoo to figure everything out today.

I'm not trying to be an azz, but if they can't do this right, how are we to know that they are consistent at all in getting things right? I mean when we have those days when our real numbers go down 50% from the estimates and we email you to gripe and you tell us, "well that's just Yahoo's call" and that's the endof it. Perhaps there's more to it. We watch our own stats a lot closer than Yahoo or you do I'm sure, and when we say something is not right, perhaps a closer look is indeed in order. I'm not saying that you personally just shrug us off, and I don't question stats that often but I have more than one answer in my message box from my account manager with the standard, well that's just Yahoo reply. Parked.com seems to have their act together but Yahoo does not. It's getting hard to keep from losing confidence in the integrity of the system and these days of waiting gives me at least the impression that they don't know what they are doing and our final revenue numbers are pulled out of the air and that they can just skim or scam or do whatever they want and we have absolutely no say in questioning anything. Parked and other middle man companies make Yahoo a lot of money and without us that money goes away. Looking at Yahoo's stock price over the last months, I see they need all the revenue they can get so I'm coming out to say they need to get their shit together and also to start listening instead of dictating. </ end vent>

Sounds like we're on Survivor Island! Who we gonna ax next? I understand what you're saying, but what's the alternative - Google? The parking providers represent a pretty small percentage of Yahoo's overall revenue. As disheveled as they appear to be sometimes, I for one am glad there's an alternative to the big G.

 

[NameGuy]

Why not. G is where the big money is. Parked has a lot of customers and traffic. With all that and their great system, I'm sure G would listen if approached.

The only problem is I have thousands of domains parked at a Google provider and the RPC keeps dropping. I have been slowly moving to Yahoo providers because they have been paying consistently higher (with a few exceptions).
