Parkitnow ,A new scam!

[andrejc]

Thanks for so fast replay

At the very bottom of the screen there is a "contact us" link. For some reason this isn't working 100% of the time.

Yup, I think that I used that one

Yes you do need to fill out the tax information page but it's super simple. Since you are not in the US just choose the "Foreign Publisher with no US Activities" link. The form will be pre-populated with your registration information. Just double check that the information is correct and electronically "sign" it by typing your full name at the bottom of the form and click submit. You will not need to input any tax information at all. Your just agreeing to the fact that you don't live in the US or have any US Activities. It will take under a minute to do as it's simple.

Ok, I did that already

I think I understand what you are saying on this. I'll need to emulate your login and check it at. It's probably that the daily report isn't showing a couple of small feeds that get used on some domains. You would still get paid on these as it shows in the click report (used by xml feeds and not parking services) but may not show in the daily report. I'll take a look at mod the daily report so it will show under the PIN heading.

Ok, but is there any other way to see my total revenue for this month?


Once again, tnx for quick answers

[cayars]

I'm just sitting down to look into these items.

I removed the contact link so it doesn't trip anyone up again. Removing stuff is pretty easy!

The tax form wasn't so bad was it? How long did it take to complete (15 to 45 seconds)? I think more people spend time reading and checking the information I pre-populated is correct then anything else.

I'm about to tackle the issue of reporting for you in the domain backend. What I'm about to tell you won't help yet but in a day or two will. Total earnings are posted to your account as line items "Net 15 Day Parking" and "Net 45 Day Parking". Skenzo/KlickerZ, ParkingDots and one of the Adult feeds show up as 45 Day while everything else ie. Internal Gambling & Men's Health listings, Domain Sponsor, Goldkey, TrafficZ, Parked.com, etc show up as NET 15. All payments show up as line items here as well with the paypal transaction ID. You can access this by clicking the "View Your Balance" link right after login. This will probably be posted tomorrow as soon as all the providers have accurate numbers for September (waiting on Skenzo/KlickerZ).

But as soon as I log off here I'm looking into the daily report for you. If by some chance I see that this wasn't reported correctly in the "line item totals" I'll manually adjust each person's account with the additional revenue for ALL MONTHS if any, but I would doubt this would be the case because of the way the payment reports are run (we ignore the parking provider and everything is grouped into 15 or 45 day) when ran.

I just took at look at your account. Nothing is wrong at all that I could see. Maybe if I explain what you're looking at it will make sense to you.

The "PIN Last 25 Clicks" under "PIN Specific Reports (i.e. gambling & men's health)" gives you specific information on each click you receive on one of our internal xml feeds (not sent to other parking services). You get the ip, date time, domain, country, bid price etc in that report. There is also another report under that section for looking at "searches" and you can see things such as: Domain, IP, Country, Search String, Date, Page Referer, Browser Agent.

So that section is only for our own internal feeds and is updated in real time since it runs on our own system. The daily balance of each of these clicks will show up in the "Daily Revenue Report (drill down to daily stats)" under "ParkItNow" as the service provider. I ran through each of your days and every penny was accounted for in the daily report.

In your particular case since you are running poker domains, all traffic first goes to ParkItNow (internal feed) unless we can't monitize it due to geo location (or some other issue). In that case we'll send that traffic to one of the other providers you see listed. These other providers will be "split-tested" over time for the traffic we can't use so that when we get this traffic in the future it will go to the highest paying "alternative" provider for that geo-location.

So try comparing the detailed clicks against the daily report and you should see they match the ParkItNow service entries.

Hope that helps and was clear enough,

Thanks cayars, you are great admin Those two posts were very helpful.
And now I can see total revenue in "View Your Balance" menu (it says that I have -$41.97, but nvm )

Why does it take forever for a domain to resolve once parked?
I parked one around 5 hours ago and it still does not resolve. This also happened with my initial domains I added a while ago. Took a couple of days to resolve. There really is no excuse for this kind of delay nowadays.
The reason I am bothered about the time delay is because I want to see what kind of ads will be displayed so I can decide if the domain will remain at parkitnow or needs to be moved elsewhere

I posted the Net 15 day earnings for September to the "ledger" so you now see it there. The Net 45 September earnings will be posted in a day or two as soon as I have the official numbers.

Yes -$41.97 is how much you owe ME. In other words I OWE YOU $41.97.

ParkItNow.com is one part of a larger company I run. They are all integrated from a financial standpoint so the same "ledger" works with all systems. For example, some people park domains and purchase advertising. They can use earned income to buy PPC listings. Same with our Escrow & other services.

We're going to be adding very good priced domain registrations to the system very, very soon. This will be "funded" from the ledger balance you see. You will be able to purchase/renew domains using your "balance" if you want. This would allow you to purchase domains with funds earned even though they haven't been paid out yet (nice for the 45 Day earnings).

In a nutshell many of our services require the client to pay us while some of our services require us to pay the client. Just remember to read the "total amount" as the amount you OWE us. If it's a negative number that just means we owe you!

Another example: Some people are buying/auctioning domains via our system. If the client has say a -$50 balance (earned income) and the domains costs say $100 then when the domain is posted to the ledger you have -$50+$100 so the buyer only owed $50. Once that amount is added via paypal to the account they have the domain. If the domain were to cost $25 they would have a ledger balance of $-50+$25=-$25 so they get the domain without "paying" for it and still have earned income of $25 payable during the next payment cycle. It's like a "gold standard" for domainers. If the user has a negative balance it's as good as cash and they can use it that way more or less for other services.

This is one of those "little" things that sometimes causes people to say ParkItNow.com is confusing. It's a very advanced system, but with a little use of the system, these little things become second nature and aren't a big deal.

I believe in telling it like it is and not making excuses. I hate to say this but it's my fault. :( I've been working on and off on this DNS issue. It's THE MAJOR thorn in my side right now. Regardless of the amount of filtering I do on domains being added to the system, some clown finds a domain to add to the system that causes a problem when the DNS server is restarted. If anything isn't right, the DNS server fails to start. So I've been manually restarting the DNS server service every few hours unless I forget. This is what causes the delay.

Besides changing DNS servers we do support URL forwarding but would prefer the DNS servers to be changed. URL forwarding will work as soon as the domain is added to the system regardless of when the DNS server is restarted.

The format for URL forwarding is: http://ppc.tcw.net/?d=domain.com
just change "domain.com" to your own domain name. I'll add this information to the "Add a Domain(s)" confirmation page when the domains are confirmed to be added to the system.

A note on what you said you're trying to do for the quick test.

You're probably doing yourself a dis-service by "testing" this way. You might get a Domain Sponsor landing page or you could get a Skenzo page, etc. You really can't base a decision to keep or move the domain based on this for a few reasons. The initial page you see for one provider could be way off while another parking site (you didn't see) could be right on the money. Our system is designed to pick this up quickly and to shift the traffic to where it earns the most as quick as possible. With decent traffic domains this will happen within hours. Obviously the more traffic the domain has the quicker our system can adjust.

Also worth mentioning is that the initial page you get could/probably will change as the parking system itself auto-optimizes (referring to Skenzo, DS, etc).

Yet, one more reason is that I personally optimize domains on many of the parking systems to bypass the auto-optimization process whenever possible. If the domain isn't getting traffic on my system it's going to be at the bottom of the list of domains to optimize. If you leave in on the system getting traffic then it will hit my "radar" and get some personal attention and of course this should help the earning jump up.

Here is something I do for some customers. If you have decent traffic domains that you are interesting in testing you can add them to the system. Then message me with any keywords you are presently using on your current system. I'll setup the domains with your keywords and set the traffic to 80% or so to the system that you "know" is paying well. Then use the remain 20% of traffic to test the other systems. This allows you to keep earning good amounts on the domains in question while testing the others to see if they produce higher amounts. This is a manually intensive process but I do this for people with high/good traffic domains. Let me know if this is something you are interested in.

Getting back to the DNS issue. This of course only affects new additions to the system and doesn't affect existing domains. I'm currently testing code on a test machine with completely different DNS server software that allows domains to be added on the fly without requiring a restart. So far things are looking good and it appears I might have this issue resolved. If my testing pans out I'll migrate all domains to the new server software/code. It shouldn't be long now. When implemented this will allow a domain to be added to the system and immediately the DNS server will work for that domain!

not scam ... I got paid !

[cayars]

Everyone got paid yesterday for all September Net 15 (and previously unpaid) earnings for everyone with a balance of $25 or more. I also included a few that were slightly under $25 just to clear them out.

This was payment for all internal feeds, GoldKey/Active Audience, Domain Sponsor, Parked.com, TrafficZ, sedo, etc

The next payments should be made on the Oct 15th.

I had created a similar thread in the PPC General Section letting people know to check for payments but it got deleted by a mod and I received a PM letting me know I'm not allowed to "advertise" in the forums. Go figure.

[POLiSH]

Yes go figure, push the subject a little harder... You have been told once.

[cayars]

Since the DNS issue was mentioned here by TalkHost and I had responded back that I had been working on a better way to handle this I wanted to follow up on it here.

The new code I had been working on and testing is now LIVE on the system. Any new domains added to ParkItNow.com should immediately resolve now. There is no delay or DNS server restarts needed!

This has been the "big thorn in my side" for quite a while and I'm really happy with the way this has turned out.

Note: There could still be a delay in DNS caching/record expiration or DNS propogation depending on the registar you use but that's typical for DNS changes.

I noticed this yesterday. I added a domain and it resolved immediately.

The Domain Registration system mentioned in message #26 of this thread has been launched. You can read more about it on our website. We are using the Directi (Skenzo parent company) backend for this with integrations into our system.

Prices for com/net/org are $6.95 for regs, transfers & renewals with no volume commitments. Reseller accounts are available starting at this price and going downward with volume.

If you have a balance in your ParkItNow.com account you can use some of this balance for your domain purchases. This allows you to use money earned from parking for domain renew/regs/transfers even before the normal payout cycle. This process will be automated shortly but for now if you have earned money you would like to use for domains regs just send me a PM with info and I can manually set this up for you. If you leave our default DNS server entries you can immediately start earning money on domain parking right after registration if you have a ParkItNow.com account!

Feel free to contact me for additional information on this new service.
