Hey Sir Wolfis:
With Parked I feel Bing finally got a hold of all traffic (previously was only USA and Canada) and the filter is brutal to say the least...I felt a few years back this was going to happen after seeing clicks from 3rd world countries getting paid 2 ,3 and up to 8 USD since they were serving them English ads eg: Porsche ads in countries where there is no dealers/advertisers for this particular brand.)
Today this ad in one of my travel names caught my eye at Parked:
How To Travel
Compare Fare Prices, Find Deals & More. Make Informed Choices w/Bing�
bing.com )
Mmm how convenient...huge conflict of interest if you ask me.
There is so many problems and so little transparency that I honestly don't know where to begin with...that creates rumors,guesstimations and conspiracy theories and that goes for all of the parking companies
Good domain traffic/clicks (Yours) sponsoring Bad domains/traffic (Big accounts)
Accounts beign paid in a "bulk/smart manner" or as a whole , if you notice sometimes you move good domains away and you still make about the same a few days later the Parking realizes that and punishes you accordingly with low $clicks...so you comeback , I call it the "Parking Musical Chair Game".
Yesterday after so many years parking domains I learned something new that got me baffled ...at the German company when you move domains away (I do that constantly) the Optimization goes "Loco" and out of whack ... from related links to the ads themselves , so when you come back you MUST optimize again...what? I learned this the hard way by noticing some TM potentially conflictive
ads in one of my best domains (that was moved back and forth supposedly the "keyword" was hardcoded)...Parking is an accident waiting to happen for a lot of premium domains where there is a potential for a WIPO (generic or not)..one ad of the wrong kind and "Adios"...
My only suggestion is to move all your very best domains/traffic to one parking and keep the rest in another one (for a least a few weeks ..and find out really in actuallity how much do they get paid?)
I am not sure this is the right thread to be talking general parking issues...
In the meantime May I suggest an ample supply of "*Chill Pills" for the ride it's going to be rough
(*be sure to get the pink kind).
Cheers
