AdSense Way Up - Domain Parking Way Down ???

[Deleted member 111831]

WTF is going on my AdSense revenue November and December is way, way up but my domain parking revenue has nosedived massively. Like names that were making $xxx a month are now making low $xx a month...

Since Google provides the feed for these guys it doesn't make any sense to me!

Anybody else have the same thing going on?

FWIW I'm using DomainSponsor and Parked for the most part.

Test test test... IMO DS is shaving clicks and revenue unless your names are in the category for generating leads. Nice to have $35 clicks and all but sometimes consistency is better.

In terms of PPC, its gone down in every sector except for financial in my portfolio. I'm beginning to think that some category traffic names are completely worthless.

I love adsense btw, I wish i had a website to put it on.

Not shaving, skinning. My revenue is down like 80% there. Are they known for that kind of thing?

One of the causes of the big parking declines is places like Bing with their nonsensical low TQ scores being given to parked.com.

Last time I checked (a few months ago) my score on Parked was a 7, now it says 'no score'

Does DS use a TQ score or similar?

I feel the pain. My TQ score dropped from 8 all the way down to 1 even with basically the same traffic and domains.

Develop your domains, parking is a rip off with a middleman taking your money period!

The fab feed has been solid over the past three years. I have barely seen any drop there in the epc. In fact my earnings keep going up even though I have fewer domains parked because of development.

DomainSponsor and Parked.com both allow framed forwarding. I would like nothing better than to use Fab for my better typein parked names but the problem is since they are my best I have them set up as framed forwarding (there are nice SEO benefits to that) and Fabulous notified me some time ago they do not allow framed forwarding in the future, so I must remove that.

Therefore, I was more or less forced to move the best ones away from Fab to parked.com which permits framed forwarding. Fabulous never really explained why they do not allow it. IMO it makes little if any sense.
