question about parked / com

a 404 is a "page not found". Looks like a lot of bots, or perhaps people/search engines have bookmarked/are linking to an old page that used to exist on a developed site, but (naturally) does not exist on your parked page. The revenue actually looks halfway decent for the number of actual visitors you are getting.

How many clicks per month? I got around thousand clicks per month but make only around $40 per month.

Waiting for adsense parking.

Don't waste your time with the adsense parking. I gave it a go for a week and Parked.com was a much better performer bar none.

Depends on the quality of traffic...sometime many visitors = low clicks.

Good idea Tony; I was actually thinking about redirecting the traffic to a medical/health related website (higher paying keywords), because I can not redirect the domain to a domain with higher paying keywords (against ToS).

tonyfloyd · Dec 30, 2008

change the keywords in your parked admin area to display highest possible relevant keywords...

I agree.
CTR and RPC seems OK to me.
Your problem is 404s.

Parked is a Joke.

cursal · Dec 31, 2008

If you are using this

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="3;URL=http://www.sciii.com">

be sure to change the bold to the url you would like to redirect to...

and this :content="3 is the number of seconds to wait. you can change it to 0 for less lag.

I say Develop,
Parked pays better, NameDrive has better stats imo.

But traffic varies from company to company :shrug:

Thanks ! That's what I wanted to do, but unfortunately there is no way to redirect 404 pages using parked / com NS

VTEC - As I told you yesterday, it is not allowed for you to redirect domain A to domain B. Also you don't have 90,000 visitors, you are getting 89,700 broken images aka 404's. We always show the same page no matter what page you go to.

I always recommend on using the correct keyword as that's what the surfer is looking for. So for example, if you have a domain that is about image hosting, and you set the keyword to adult image hosting, then that really isn't what people are looking for. If you give the surfer what they are looking for, not what will make you more money or what you think they want you will in the end make more money.

Thanks Donny, but If someone clicks on an inactive image link it takes him to

http://example.com/?404=Y

As per Parked FAQ's:

Visitors
The number of unique visitors that have accessed your domain name.
============

so visitors (unique only) who are redirected to a 404 page are not counted as visitors, even though they have accessed my domain name :?:

Donny Simonton · Dec 31, 2008

I again explained this to you yesterday when you emailed me this question, but I'll answer it here just to make things easier. When somebody goes to a 404 page, the page is counted as a 404, not a visitor. The normal page is shown on 404's and if they go to the main domain. If the person who goes to the 404 does a search or clicks on anything they are then considered to be a visitor and a 404. So if a somebody comes in as a 404, and they search and then click out to the advertiser, they are officially considered to have 1 404, 1 visitor, 1 search and 1 click.

Hopefully this helps explains in more detail what I sent yesterday in email.
