Hi,

Welcome to the OFFICIAL PARKED.COM thread!

Guys:
Check your accounts for blocked/banned domains:

Domain rating

(I learned the hard way , had some domains blocked for quite sometime )

Very useful post. I wasn't aware of this. Rep added. However, from what I can gather, 'Blocked' doesn't necessarily mean that the domain is blocked from receiving clicks or making revenue. It merely means that a one click lander of PPC ads is displayed rather than displaying domain results which could potentially show controversial or otherwise undesirable categories which could offend some people.

I received 5 clicks and revenue from a 'Blocked' domain yesterday. I always wondered why that particular name qualified for a one click lander. It's actually a very good system IMO.

Yes I would like an explanation of this as well? A lot of my names either controversial, banned, quality banned, or trademarked bring in some good amount of traffics and clicks

from Parked:
" Yahoo classifies certain sensitive domains into certain categories based on several factors. The domain rating in your account simply shows you those domains that are specifically rated by Yahoo. Those domains classified as Adult, Alcohol, Tobacco, Weapons, and Restricted can all still be monetized through our Yahoo feed (but you cannot change the content to something in another category. For example, if you owned guns.com, you could not set the keyword to "childrens stories" or something else unrelated to guns or weapons). Yahoo will hardcode that domain in the weapons category). The ad feed is still the Yahoo feed.
Domains that are otherwise categorized as Banned, Controversial, Quality Block, and Trademark means that these domains will not be accepted by Yahoo at all, so if possible, they are monetized through our secondary feeds."


(You can ask for a review of domains affected)
eg:
I had cajadebombones .com (chocolate box) banned as controversial because of the word "bomb" in it.

AutosExoticos .com cat as adult because "sex' is there ...


cheers.

Hey all -
I recently started with domaining a bit on the side.
I've picked up some names relevant to my business, but I've also started getting a few that I think have potential.
I'd love to park them somewhere, and from what I've read, Parked.com is definitely the best place to park them.
However, when I tried applying for an account, I wasn't accepted.
Is there any way to somehow get an account even though I'm just starting off?
Can someone help me?
I promise I'll behave
Thanks a lot!!

desinflamatorios.com (trademark)
exploitedhusbands.com (controversial) > must be for the wifeys!
lipoaspiracion.com (controversial)

cancerdeovarios.com (banned)
cancerdeboca.com (banned)

Thanks to Peter (SDX) and Donny, my Parked.com account is set up and seems to be working...
Just wondering - and I'm kinda a newbie at this - how do I get traffic to the domains/sites? Does Parked do something for that? Or is there something I have to do? And is there a way to get the sites/domains to show up in Google searches?
Thanks a lot!!

Does Parked payout twice monthly??

YES!

It's the ONLY Parking program in the industry that does that now.

No, parked.com or any other parking firm will not do anything as far as I know to get you traffic. The problem is the domain really needs to have built-in or typein traffic of its own when you park it or they will in all likelihood be there forever without any traffic. A way parking can possiby help (at least a bit) is assuming the parked page gets indexed in Google for your keywords and people are searching for those keywords.
