Strange times, but not that bad....

[TjWarrior]

At a time where things are supposed to be more difficult, with everything that has happened in the past, I have never made as much money with parking as I have this year. More than $100 per day comfortably.

Believe me when I tell you, but really believe me... parking will never die, the only thing that will die is us.

I'm alone in this or you guys can report similar earnings?

$100 per day is the norm if your income is from parking only.

The question is, how much you used to earn? if it was lower then wait to see how long the current high earning period will last. It might just be a good buyer for only some part of your traffic and might end in like 2 months.

The fact that you have good earnings currently means nothing at all, what matters is how parking performs for everyone. If I understand the reaction of the real experts in the industry correctly, parking's performance has dropped significantly.

If you are at the same provider and have about the same traffic, you should drop. So either you bought lot of domains or you changed the way how to monetize your domains. What have you changed this year to get things working?

Your problem is confounding google with parking
Domain parking will never die, get that through your head

 

[Altetra]

Where is evidence of your parking fairy tales?
I was making 2, 5 or rare 10 USD per month with more than 1K of secret related niche domains, I stopped parking them to not feed Google/Bodis pockets.
Parking should pay for views not clicks, because for human is enough to see something and it memorizes it, then he later can go buy that without the need of clicking an ad.

Without knowing how many domains you have, the type of traffic, how can anyone comment? Most people continue to see drops in parking revenue. I think for those that have typin traffic, things shouldn't be that bad. If your traffic comes from links on other sites, most sites that their main source of traffic was google, continue getting less traffic.

Details here matter, but if you are happy, who cares if others are seeing more or less?

 

[TjWarrior]

I'm having an exceptional year, the rpc of my names has been quite high, with good traffic also
Many with $8+ per click and some as high as $15/16

I'm not able to put pics here but if you could give me an alternative I would appreciate it, I would be happy to share it with you so that you can understand what I've been saying

I don't gain anything from this, what confuses me is seeing you guys constantly complaining when I have been very successful
Either I am very good at what I do or you are very bad
I really don't comprehend

There are things that will only die when the internet dies too...

 

[ontiscal]

Good for you but sorry hard to believe.
My EPC is around 0.16$ and your EPC is 50 time higher.
Now we wait for someone that say that Santa Claus gave him a LL.com domain as a gift and we're all set.

There were three posts above the post I'm quoting here.

Could you please show where anyone in those three posts mentioned anything about G? In other words, are you sure you are not hearing/reading ...things?

People in a forum gather to talk and discuss. If something is not going well in the industry then that is not complaining, it's just talking about something that is not going well in the industry.
Not sure why you are complaining when the vast majority of NPers do what they are supposed to be doing in a forum.

And btw. I don't think you need to send pics or need to prove anything. At least I -and I assume many others- believe what you say. Why wouldn't we?
And, yes, apparently you are exceptionally good at what you do.

I observed a significant drop in revenue following recent major G updates. However, I'm now seeing revenue slowly recover this month. Notably, the top-earning domains in my portfolio have completely shifted. This change in my highest-earning domains strongly suggests a shift in user intent, which, from what I've gathered through various discussions, appears to be precisely what G aimed for with its "intent factor" adjustments.

 

[TjWarrior]

I had another $8 click today

Regarding what you said, we have to start unchecking ourselves from Google

There are more feed providers in parking

That's great.
Where are you monetising your domains?

 

[TjWarrior]

I'm using Above, they are redirecting my traffic through the domain parking accounts I'm on

Except for Giant Panda, where I'm not involved yet

We've seen a general increase this month as well, and, as you said, it's the most pronounced on domains for which the keywords most accurately match the intent of the visitors.

It is too early to make any definitive judgements, but I've caught some light-hearted flak on NP for being optimistic about the future of AFD, and seeing results like I'm seeing (intent-targeted traffic being matched up with appropriate advertisers) is very encouraging.

Any update from your end about the scheduled opt outs? The two biz accounts I admin had emails go out that May 9th was the day, but non of them have been opted out of Parked domains yet

No updates. To the best of my knowledge, the opt-out initiative continues.

I still haven't seen any evidence suggesting it has negatively impacted revenue yet. We've been adding some very large portfolios lately, so the macro view is difficult to assess, but I haven't seen an individual name whose drop in revenue could be attributed to advertiser opt-out.

What I have seen is names getting optimized and, after enough keyword searches and ad clicks, T1 embracing those keywords and RPM increasing, sometimes dramatically. I think the AI-ification of T1 could have something to do with it.

We express the intent of the visitors clearly and accurately -> visitors begin searching and clicking at a high rate -> T1 recognizes the high-intent traffic -> their AI begins testing advertisers with it -> they track the success of those visitors based on the objectives of the advertiser's AI-created (and priced) campaign -> AI sends the traffic to the campaign for which the traffic most successfully fulfills the advertiser's stated objective.
