Donny,
I've been parking my gTLD domains at Parked.com since one & half years and I've been always happy. Of course there were ups and downs but I think Parked is the best in its industry.
However, as a Korean, I was never able to park and optimize ccTLD domains. It is too bad that I am not able to earn money with nice ccTLDs while my gTLDs doing great with Parked.com.
I understand that I am not a major player and PPC industries are very cautious about international traffics. And I have no idea what kind of policy you have on international traffics. But I've seen other PPCs allow to optimize for international traffics and I wish Parked.com would do same thing but perform much better like they do with gTLDs.
1. To park ccTLDs with international traffics, I need to know if Parked.com can provide international advertisers. If Parked is not willing to, I should stop wasting your time. :disappointed: I see Japanese localized advertisers in my friend's landing page at Parked.com. If I use Japanese proxy, I see it but without proxy, I see default(English) advertisers.
2. I can add ccTLD domains without any problem. But I can not add IDNs. I get this system message: "Domain was not properly formatted."
3. To optimize, I should be able to use foreign languages in domain edit page. I see number of problems. First, parked use "iso-8859-1" for charset. So when I use Korean or Japanese for "domain title" and save, I get this kind thing: ëÂÂìÂÂì¼Âì´ì¤ ë· ì»´. But ironically, I can use Korean or Japanese in Keyword without any problem. I can use Korean and Japanese in "Title Tag", "Custom Content", "For Sale Message" and "Meta Tags" with no problem.
If you fix few problems and hook up with local advertisers in localized language, I would be happy to move all my ccTLDs to Parked. And I believe others would do.
Thank you as always,
chois
