namedrive and pop ups

[mike031]

there is nothing mentioned on namedrive.com regarding pop ups but i just noticed one pop up from casale on one of my names.... is this something that is in the works/already being tested... or what?

Yes, I noticed this as well, although most don't have it, and I see no place for payment for it like DS.

Hi there,

We are currently testing out various popunder (not popup) providers to see who will work best for our clients. We will share the wealth as it were so that everyone gets a fair cut for your traffic as a one-off payment in your account when the testing has finished. Once we have the full popunder treatment working, the stats will obviously update in your account as with other parking providers.
Let me know by if you have any other questions: [email protected]

Hi Ed,

Personnally, I hate pop ups/unders/overs/anys, and so do most people surfing the internet. Over a half million searches on Overture looking for ways to block pop ups. Having one pop up after another on my parked domains is annoying and is likely driving people away. I think your current setup is just fine without them. Just my 2 cents.

Popunders/banners are a good way to enhance revenues -- can add 10% to 15% to parking $$$, on many domains.

Hello everyone,

Sorry for any silence. I've been having trouble accessing DNF for the last 24 hours.

As far as the popunders are concerned. They have now been removed. We have always intended to use popunders as a way of boosting our clients' earnings. However, it was made clear to us that some people are not interested - it also seems they were a little more agressive than at first desired, so we removed them. It is certainly something that we will offer in the near future, but with an 'on/off' switch per domain.

We are currently having small problems with our server provider. Having increased our bandwidth 6 fold last week and then doubled that this week, it seems that every day we have had 30 mins where everything has been slow as a result of more and more names being added. The other 1410 minutes of the day, the pages are lightning-fast, but we have these phantom 30 minutes where we have to shout into telephones and get things moving.
It would appear there is a bug with the new pipe we installed last week which causes it to misbehave for short periods of the day.
We believe the affect to earnings will be absolutely minimum as these outages last very small amounts of time and are nothing like on the scale of last week after the attack.

Just to keep you informed.

We're sorry for any inconvenince and look forward to being able to post something much more interesting and positive about how to earn more money with us later on this evening...

Feel free to email me if there's anything I can help you with.

Ed

We are working on our servers. We've had enough of this, as you can imagine. The pages will be down for the next two hours. Everybody with us will of course be compensated as per usual. In fact, you'll almost certainly make more out of this as we'll again make sure we compensate on the generous side. You people are doing quite well out of all these bugs, I suppose...

It is madly frustrating, as you can imagine. We are doing everything humanly possible to make sure this doesn't happen again and there will be a new server set up in place very soon.

If you have any queries, concerns, comments etc., let me know by email.

Ed

That would be a shame to write of the pop unders.. perhaps you can make it optional. 2 of my top domains on domainsponsor.com.. make more money on the PopUnders than they do on clickthroughs and searches..

As you know we were down…again. Just one of those things I am afraid. Before we could install the backup servers, the pipe to our service provider went down for the second time in a week and we had to move the servers physically to a location two hours away.

We are now back up.

Everyone will be compensated for the down time. We will just keep plugging away one domain at a time.

All of this sets our plans back a bit, but we are hoping to offer the customised solutions for high-performance names as of tonight. More anon.

Popunders are not written off. The test as it was yesterday has been halted, but we are certainly still looking at the option of optional popunders.

Thank you again for the tremendous support.

Ed,

Any updates on Popunders/Popups?

on option to turn ON/OFF the CPM popunder/banner would be a great addition... ++aditional revenues still adds a bit.

I'll be signin for an account when there's an additional CPM popunder offer.

Sorry about my slow reply, been celebrating my birthday arty:

Yes, we are still very much looking for the extra cash that can be generated by popunders. We will hopefully have them in place on an opt-in basis in the near future, though I couldn't give you an exact timeline.

Hope you have a good weekend.
