Massive drop in revenue

[Donny Simonton]

dmye - If you are seeing those advertisers, those are our secondary providers. That's not Yahoo/Bing. We are not affiliated with any site that does advertising.

A lot of it depends on where you are located, what domain and what keyword you are looking at.

I wonder what happened to hiosilver and a bunch of others who no longer post here? So many exclusives seems to be gone over the years!

This is a business with High turnover especially when parking is no longer to sustain many.

I see long time members selling their once prized domains very often and many newbies stepping in to try and make a go at it.

Registrations are very consistant over the last 7 years.

If you know how to analyze a drop list there is still plenty of money to be made.

I appreciate the feedback. I'm in the US, and the traffic should be US as well.
These are appearing on lower quailty domains, primarily .info and .us.
I'm also glad to hear that you have no connection to infomash.
That whole strategy just doesn't sit well with me.

well i miss the good old days i used to get a lot of traffic on mines and now it sucks , i have over 300 domains at parked and they they are doing me no good. Traffic z with the same domains would get 4,000 to 6,000 uniques a month , at parked i only get 1,000 at most now... i believe the domains are not being optimized enough. Thats my thought.

I would love to see Parked move to Google, and provide single click landers.
The 2-click method has always been a downside.

How are earnings last weeks for you guys? still low?

I guess silence speaks for itself. All of you looking for other profitable revenue sources...

I'd like to update everyone on the results since I moved all my domains from Parked in early February to Sedo, Revenue at Sedo for the past few months has been substantially higher than what I was earning at Parked after my earnings were slashed by over 50%.. I'm earning about 90% more in revenue, that's the truth. But this is still slightly less than what I was earning in prior years at Parked.

The best part about leaving Yahoo/Bing, is that I'm no longer a victim of their TQ scoring bullsh*t.... Which we all know is just a tool to cheat domainers out of legitimate traffic and revenue.

And I am developing, I'm working on some web sites right now that I hope to launch next month.

My sentiments exactly.

I have a problem with Sedo not pulling related ads for my chosen keywords.
Has anyone else experienced this?

The keywords may be subjected to review, Does this happen shortly after setting them?... It happens to me too, but it usually corrects itself within a day or two.

That is when I experience it. I guess I should give it some more time, before bouncing to aother PPC provider.

TQ scoring bullsh*t....

i felt that's what it was, when the concept was first conceived


i posted on parked forum a few days ago, about how low their revenue is


and you know if your referral income is down, it ain't just your account.

i felt that's what it was, when the concept was first conceived.

It took me a bit longer to finally realize it, Once I did, I asked myself what's preventing parking companies who use TQ scoring to skim off earnings for themselves and blame the drop on Yahoo/Bing? I'm not accusing Parked or any other provider of actually doing this, I have no evidence to support it, but because Domain Parking is a business that operates with NO transparency, it should give domainers pause that this could be happening.

i just saw it as an unnecessary functionality


simply because other ppc's didn't have similar model.

parked, initally was in a better position to alter the mechanics, because they were paying better...at that time.


but is TQ valid, if everyone's earnings are dropping?


either your domains are accepted into the system or they are not

imo...

Άστα, Κώστα. Κι εγώ είδα κάτι τρελλά πχ 5 click και $0.01 revenue. Έχω τελειώσει μαζί τους προ πολλού. Κρίμα δηλαδή γιατί ενώ η πλατφόρμα είναι πολύ καλή, το ad stream είναι σκατά!

No reply from parked. Thanks for nothing. Just moved 1000 domains out. I am going to move another 500 and that will be it.

I believe I am also about to move away from parked but it doesn't mean much anymore since the revenue we take away when we leave is now peanuts.
