Parking conspiricy?

[maxeaus]

Lets face it, everyone likes a good conspiricy theory. After spending 4 hours optimising my parked sites, and now getting some good traffic figures and impressions, i check out the adds today and see the feed is not even remotely associated to my SEO work.

I mean how is breast implants even remotely close to accomodation? Is this some sinister plan by the feed, ie:Google to diminish CPC, or are they just offloading high paying CPI advertisers onto my sites and cleening up on profit? Gives me the @$%&'s!

If you don't mind, what is your domain name?

 

[maxeaus]

Sydneyspirit is the one i was refering to though it seems somewhat improved since i last looked. Try dozp.com -software

Im getting soccer, in spanish!

I think the feed doesn't take a good spirited approach to the word "spirit". I'm seeing some Psychic, Psychology kind of ads here in the U.S. It's because of the domain name. I had a redtube kind of name at Sedo and although my KW was adult, it kept pulling in tubing and plumbing keywords. Most of my visitors took their tubes elsewhere.

I studied up on SEO for six months when i owned my blackjack website. I dont think i have any further understanding of it even now! LOL

Considering it's taken Google AdSense up to 18 months to deliver me the kind of spot-on targeted ads I want on some of my developed sites, I can't be terribly surprised if Google (or Yahoo or any other feed) doesn't get it right the first time on a parked domain. Give it a little time to settle out.

Computer error!!!

Are you suggesting that Google or Yahoo computers have errored and served your parked domain the wrong ads??? Impossible!

I think that's exactly whats happening, I'v been moaning about this for over 3 months but nobody seems interested :hehe: nice to know its not just a Figment of My Imagination

I checked one of mine the other day, these were the results for the keyword Motorcycles

...what a total load of sh***


So is this deliberate ? Who knows but if its not then its pretty incompetent and will obviously not get a good CTR

Bizarre

Are you using Sedo parking or someone else ??

You may or may not be able to implement this depending on your parking company, but Google offers you an easy way to emphasize and ignore content you want Google to consider when serving your ads.

Its called section targeting

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Somebody could be bidding to advertise on a keyword that is not directly related to their product- i.e the advertisers could be to blame...

Yes, also since G now allows advertisers to opt out of showing their ads on parked pages I think the overall inventory has gone down and there are less relevant ads available.
