Can users of BigJumbo answer some questions for me?

1 - Do you like the service?
2 - Any particular type of domain seem to do better there?
3 - an example of a live site?
4 - Any problems with payments?
5 - Good for adult domains - yes/no?

Thanks!

No idea how adult names do.

I had a name at TrafficClub via the skenzo feed, it was making $15- $25/day. Of course I had to move it over to bigjumbo.com. With BJ, I am making $7 - $10/day with the exact same templete/keywords

They also don't show clicks, which is wierd.

Those folks at Big Jumbo are very disappointing because they assign you by default to the lowest revenue share unless you are doing $100k per month. I had parked my names at Trafficclub before the changes but ever since I moved the same names to BigJumbo revenue had decreased by 40-50%. When I asked why, I was told that my account is relatively new and I should wait for a while.

Thanks Shaggy and Ian for taking the time.

After moving away from traffic club to big jumbo revenue went down at least 50% for most names , their revenue share sucks

I had all my names at BigJumbo and the revenue dropped by at least 40 to 50 percent. I kept complaining to my rep who kept saying to wait, wait, wait, wait.... I got tired of waiting and put all my names at parked.com. Also, they have minimums, so if you don't achieve their benchmark, they suspend your account. I wouldn't waste my time...

I would love to see what SkenzoRep had to say, but I think Ian already answered it for him/her.

Ouch - this isn't too encouraging.

One thing I like to know, where is the option on payment method? I have looked everywhere? Where can I find the area to submit payment method?

You have to email that information to your account manager. BigJumbo pays net 45.

Ok I had all of my names at Big Jumbo (I have mostly adult), I was doing really well. So I started buying more and more names. I went from about $80 to $150 day in rev. Then with no warning they dropped my payout down to about $60 a day! I freaked! I over extending my self based on the rev I was making. So I pulled all names and went back to traffic club, now traffic club completely sucks, I made even less like $40- a day. So I am now back at Big Jumbo until I can find a better place to park the names. I might go back to Sedo. I am not sure yet. I am also trying to develop the names.

Unless you are a big player Big Jumbo is not a good place to be. They screw the little guy because they know they can get away with it. I am looking into other options right now as we speak. If any one has any suggestions please let me know via PM.

The only reason I was given for the drop in rev share was that I did not have enough traffic. What kind of bullshit is that! I had enough to make $4K a month. But now were going to pay you 60% less just becuase we feel like it.

Honestly dealing with parking companies is a enough to make me want to leave this industry. Which is why I am now focusing on other ventures so I can just park my 3700 names and care less as long as they cover their reg fees and then sell them of for VERY BIG MONEY in ten years. But right now I am too dependent on the income they provide and parking is not stable enough these days if your not pulling 10K visitors a day.

Ian,

I don't even know my account manager's email? Not even sure what their main email is, it doesn't show any email anywhere?

Whats your account reps email? I will email them to see who I need to talk to.
