What are the estimate times of approval? I signed up yesterday (or day before, can't remember exactly) and would like a heads up.
Don't mind waiting, just making sure I didn't mess something up, like a wrong e-mail. :P

If you read through this thread you will find your answer.

I can't remember exactly, but I think you should have known within a couple hours anyway.

You should PM Donny and give him you account name that your used to sign up with. He will straighten it out I am sure.

Perhaps you should consider wire instead of PayPal. I saved a bunch of forex fees by doing so.

dear Donny,

I have alot of shorten domain url Backlinks , e.g. domain123.com is http://no_url_shorteners/9Ldver on many forums

That means my referring link shows http://no_url_shorteners/9Ldver

My questions:-

Is shorten url allow ?

No. Url redirects NOT allowed in domain parking.

Can you just define a range for "awesome"?

On how many domains?

"Awesome" meaning I'm happy with the payment for the relative amount of domains we have @ Voodoo
...
How about yourself?

The thing with parking, as we all know, is to get people to actually click on something when they visit your domain and not just go to another site...and in this matter Voodoo seems to have an edge with their landers and high RPC's

 

[TopJimmy]

Anyone have any thoughts on what a good ratio for clicks to unique visits would be?

We are getting x,xxx unique visits/month at voodoo. Although, 1 click per visit would be awesome, it obviously won't happen!!!

We are probably going to end up with around 3.5% worth of clicks, which seems low to me, but I am not a long term parking expert by any means.

Any input?

TopJimmy - It's all about how much $$ you make over a period of time on a per domain basis. Stats like traffic, ctr, searches etc will all vary at each parking co since they all count stats differently.

I have several domains that get more than 1 click per visit on a daily basis. Most of those domains are @ lower RPC and @ another parking provider which tends to have a higher CTR. Voodoo tends to have a lower CTR but higher RPC overall and pays great for US(higher quality) traffic in my experiences.

No one parking company can say the will perform the best across all domains/traffic all the time. I would recommend test and optimizing domains on a regular basis. You can also use services like Above.com that uses algorithms to split your domains over several providers automatically.

Are your voodoo names on auto template selection? also try and switch between "generic" and "alpha". 3.5% CTR is quite low for voodoo parking.

Donny,
Thanks for adding the "Traffic Source" tab. I just found it.

Yes, that is great! :tu:
...can we please get this on the 'Domain Reports' as US Traffic vs International (something like Domain Sponsor has)? :sold:

I have one domain which gets regular clicks everyday and it pays for itself and a few others as well. And some others on higher RPC which get clicked from time to time. But in general I don't claim that I've craked it and I am far from happy.

I know a guy called Mike who makes tons of money from parking and despite my perseverance he doesn't respond to questions regarding his successful methods except his boastings Mean guy....

Currently the Traffic Source is purely based on domain, Account level will be coming in the next few days.

Ok, so I have real stats to report on compared to SedoPro.

All in all I put some low performing SEDOpro earners into voodoo. Total result is a wash. 4 RPM vs 4 RPM. However, it seems like a lot of domains actually performed lower on voodoo then SedoPro.

This is with a healthy unique sample size of around 12,000 UQ.

One big big big EXCEPTION is adult traffic. Voodoo is doing very well for some of my adult names, and as a result I will keep them on the system, and might try out any other adult names .

Thanks Donny regardless. Again it all depends on your traffic!
