alot of my domains end up as information.com when directed to DS.
"When our system is unable to determine the domain name for a traffic source, it may serve up a default information.com landing page"
this wont help when trying to sell my domains
how do i change this?
When this happens, it usually means you have enter in the forwarding urls wrong. Make sure you check your redirect url and see if its correct.
Dont use this:
htttp://searchportal.information.com/?a_id=<YOUR ID HERE>&adultfilter=off&domainname=referer_detect
Use this:
htttp://searchportal.information.com/?a_id=<YOUR ID HERE>&adultfilter=off&domainname=<DOMAINNAME HERE>
Hope this helps.
Change htttp to http
thanks
i'll give it a try :-D

Either that or call them and get set up with proredirect and change your nameservers over instead of forwarding. You have more control that way.

Yes I know, I can hear "Thank you tekz" in your hearts. Everything is working now, good ;D

And also my link looks like this :
http://landing.domainsponsor.com/?a_id==<YOUR ID HERE>&domainname=referer_detect&adultfilter=off , why is it different from yours?
About 9.8 percent of my traffic goes to information.com
What about you people? I am curious if mine is high or not.

About 0.01%. Redirect each name as Tekz suggested and it almost never happens.
Use proredirect nameservers. They are your best friend at DS.
It seems like DS wants people to use the "URL Forwarding using Frames" method, but I can not find out why or if that really is the best option.
from DS:
"If you'd prefer to change your nameservers (DNS) to park your domains with us, please contact sales support to inquire about our DNS solution."
Why do they make people ask permission? It seems like they are trying to limit the number of people who use this option, but I am not sure why.
from DS:
"Manual Redirect"
"This method requires more work than the above method and should only be applied when your registrar does not provide a way to forward your domains in a frame."
Does "only" mean ONLY? For example, what if someone wanted to use a combination of the "Manual Redirect" and also do the masking/stealth as mentioned in the "URL Forwarding using Frames" method?

tekz999,
I used the method you mentioned. Seems like I was wasting 10% of my traffic. Thanks
I love domains.
Another option for DSers with these problems is to setup your domains at ParkItNow.com or Traffic Club. Both of these solutions will solve your problem and allow you to see if DS is really the best parking site for your domain (if you want to do this).

I've been with DS for just under 1 day. 12.5% of my visitors are from information.com. I find this strange since from the information above, it's from miss-typed URL Frame forwarding and I only have 4 main registrars, all of which were global updated with the URL provided by DS and cut 'n paste by me into registrar's global update feature. I randomly checked a domain at each registrar and it appears to be correct. If it was from mistyped URL forwarding, I should be seeing approx 0 information.com. There must be something else at work here. But what?
I do not think it is mistypes. I think it may be technical issues.
There are hundreds of different configurations when you add up all of the different operating systems (and versions), and Internet browsers (and versions) that are in use worldwide.

Is the way around these technical issues to use proredirect.com?
Ok. I know, I'm a complete newbie with DS, but I just got 4 x $36 clicks on information.comI'm feeling great, but I wish I knew which domain it was :( Just had to tell someone
OK. I'm just looking at the next day's stats now, and I'm still getting big revenues on information.com which today doesn't have any clicks, only searches. So it seems like the RPC is a bit false. What is the RPC on searches with revenue but no clicks? (rhetorical question).
