Parkingcrew.com - Anyone using/used them?

[v5x]

Parkingcrew.com

Just signed up, CTR looking good - no revenue back yet as not updated.

Anyone have any experience with them - how do they perform & has anyone had a payment from them (on time)?

Edit: Thought I'd change the title of the thread as it seems to have become popular.

Moved some of my domains to ParkingCrew this month, so far so good.
30% higher than parking at DomainSponsor.
Just FYI.

Nice stats man. How many are these some domains?

Hi, thanks, those are 16 domains in total.

Hi @ParkingCrew
We all know by now that Google announced that it is changing how it pays AdSense publishers, no longer Paying Per Click (PPC) and switching to exclusively Paying on a Per Impression (PPI) model
Starting now in early 2024

What is ParkingCrew opinion on this matter and what does it plan to do to mitigate the losses in profits estimated at more than 75%?

These blog news only concern AdSense, not AdSense for Domains. Nothing changes on our service.

 

[ParkingCrew]

Not yet. Payments are NET 15 so should be receiving first payment for November revenue around 15th December.

Exactly, we pay out NET 15.

If anybody wants to give us a shot, just signup at parkingcrew.com and let me know so I can activate you.

Cheers

The complete lack of transparency in parking (no one will ever tell you your revenue share exactly and most dodge the question completely or speak in the vaguest of generalities) means that you are mostly guessing when it comes to analytics of your domain performance. 8 years ago PC won 75% of my traffic at Above. Today they are 10-15%. Since 2014 they have been bought and sold twice - did the change in ownership create debt to be serviced (normal course of business) that understandably had to come from somewhere? Is that what affected revenue share? Back in Dec 2017 G made a change to increase the number of ads displayed (more choice, more chance to click on a low paying ad) that immediately benefitted advertisers and affected publisher revenue dramatically. Now another change is coming to benefit advertisers and negatively affect us as publishers. Over time and with tweaks and revised templates since 2017 - some of the parking companies figured it out. In recent years we gained a little back due to inflation. You can only guess at what G pays the parking co and guess at what the parking co pays you. The best payer at the time once summarized the state of parking revenue sharing as follows: "it isn't that we pay so well - it's that everyone else pays so poorly". That sums up parking.

Hi Guys,

we have received the missing data in the meantime and updated revenue stats. Thanks a lot for your patience.

Technical fault at tier 1 provider, probably not fixed until Monday according to the online status report. It's affecting ParkingCrew, Bodis, Voodoo, etc.

Hi Cocaseco,

the new feature is almost ready. Stay tuned.

Thanks a lot

If you got some blocked German Traffic domain names, you will get much more revenue in parkingcrew

Not just on german blocked traffic. We have direct advertisers in place for most countries to buy the traffic that our upstream feed provider does not wish to monetize.

Thanks a lot for the encouraging words. We are seeing tremendous growth on our platform at the moment.

 

[ParkingCrew]

Sure avik34,

exactly, direct advertisers come into play when a domain is blocked by our upstream feed provider. The direct advertisers pay on an RPM basis which means that you get credited per unique user that is redirected to the direct advertiser.

If you just leave the settings as they are by default, the direct advertisers will automatically come into play when a domain gets blocked.

I'm late to discovering ParkingCrew, but in less than 6 months they moved from zero to my top parking company, by far. Thank you ParkingCrew.

I also think it is unnecessary to post received payment, thank you messages every month. It should be assumed all payments have been sent out on schedule. Only if you don't receive your payment on schedule, should it be necessary to post here to enquire if there is a problem with payments. If one person replies saying, they've received their payment, then you should take it up directly with ParkingCrew, imho.

 

[ParkingCrew]

Thanks so much everybody. We are blessed to have all of you as our partners!

I really admire all parking companies who are accepting the small players too, even when they dont need to. They would live well with established members and guys with 1.000.000 USD per month portfolios. Like Skenzo does. They have all this work with new users, click fraud and unnatural traffic. So we should admire them, for few extra bucks they are doing a great work...

Welcome to the new reality. I used to make above $2000 a month, it's down to $40 a month now. I closed the spigot, and now its less than a dozen domains providing the $40.

 

[publicist]

Thanks for the comments January on PC is already better in terms of clicks compared to December. They seem to be improving something.

I'm using them now. I was turned onto them from another user. So,far I am having great success and like their Auto=Optimization feature. It seems to be one of the best, if not the best around.

I'm surprised they don't get more love from domainers.

 

[ibidu]

sad to hear this...
i think i need to build trust first

Why is suddenly an account with parkingcrew so special now?!!

There are 10's of other places you could park your domains.

If I were you instead of trying to build trust, I would make domains which get natural traffic - the way you go on about this, is as you have 1000's of domains with traffic and all you need is a parking company. This obviously would make everyone suspicious as what you would want to get up to!

You still haven't answered why you were getting loads of clicks through proxies on the same items with the biggest PPC?!

You're lucky that your domains were not parked in Saudi Arabia otherwise your head may have been chopped off!

 

[ParkingCrew]

hello,
some update would be nice because my account does not look right since the may 24 - if you look for months before and than may 24 and after the numbers ( including revenue and traffic ) do not make any sense at all and the past 2 days i have close to no traffic ...

i am not quite sure anymore what to think of any of these services anymore ...

Dear Wolfgang,

there were no issues to speak of with regards to may 24 - may 26th. I just checked your account and it looks like your top performer simply didn't perform as strong as usual friday - sunday but was back in full swing on monday.

With regards to May 27th and May 28th,
we unfortunately had a very severe DDOS attack late monday early tuesday that partially made it past our DDOS mitigation. Tech is investigating how this could happen.

We still saw partially long load times for certain regions throughout tuesday, May 28th as the attack was ongoing which explains why your stats for May 28th look bad.

As soon as we have all the numbers in, we will add a generous compensation to all accounts to make sure you didn't loose any money as a result of this DDOS.

It is very important to note though, that things have been back to normal since this morning and all landingpages are up and running as usual.

Cheers

Important things first: ParkingCrew runs smoothly again and all of your landing pages are up and running.

Hi Guys,

this is Nico posting. I am CEO of Team Internet, the holding company behind ParkingCrew and I wanted to personally post an update and shed some light about the past 24 hours.

On tuesday morning, I was about to board a plane for my honeymoon when we got hit with the most severe DDOS attack we had ever seen. We see a DDOS attack almost every week but this one was different. It took us completely offline for a bit more than 1 hour and when our DDOS mitigation was finally filtering most of the attack, it also accidentally filtered a lot of legitimate visitors. Since the DDOS attack lasted for more than 24 hours and the mitigation solution continued to not only filter the attack but also partially filter legitimate visitors, stats for tuesday, May 28 look off. Some accounts were affected more than others but most accounts will look off to some degree.

Those of you who have been through previous DDOS attacks with us before, know that we always apply a generous compensation to all accounts to more than make up for any and all downtimes. Our team is currently calculating the compensation for monday, May 27th and you will see it added to your accounts soon. As soon as we have the numbers for May 28th, our team will start working on the compensation for that day.

Next I would like to address the issue of less communication and updates from us during the past 24 hours than you are used to: As you all know, we keep our overheads to a minimum and work with a very small team so that we can keep your revenue shares to the maximum. Yesterday was a bottleneck in terms of support: ParkingCrew's managing director was on a plane to Las Vegas for the traffic conference (a conference our CTO cancelled in order to bring ParkingCrew back up again) and our support agent was busy answering customer questions.

Last but not least, I want to emphasize how proud I am of my entire team at ParkingCrew. Most of my tech hasn't slept for 24 hours to bring things back to normal and everyone was as dedicated as they could be.

I don't want to bore you with any more details. I simply want you to know that not only my entire team but also I personally care about every single one of our customers. We are very glad that you chose us as your parking company and thank you for your continued support.

Cheers
Nico

How good are they with Adult Names?

From what I've seen -for adult domains- what makes the difference is the country that traffic is coming from.
PC give better payouts for most countries' traffic so this affects adult domains too.

For example: if you have a US adult domain, most services will pay you -more or less- the same, but if you have a Romanian adult domain(as an example), I have noticed that PC will pay best.

I have quite a few adult domains and what I'm saying is the result of numerous checks

 

[ParkingCrew]

In general, we have found that most clawbacks stem from either:

-single users going crazy and clicking on 20, 30 ads at once (so some of the clicks get clawed back)
-clickbots not correctly identified as such at first (and thus not filtered automatically)
-advertiser complaints about individual clicks (yes, they exist)
-pages being loaded in small frames, etc. so that the click is clearly accidental (happens on former ad serving domains, etc.)

And than, for the obvious reasons such as users clicking themselves or using virtual machines to do so.

We would love to provide more transparency here, but we simply don't get more information ourselves.

Cheers
