Is anyone else having problems with Namedrive? - IDN Forums

Clotho · #1 (**permalink**) 9th May 2012, 05:17 PM

My CTR has dropped off the planet the last couple of days. The traffic is still there but nobody is clicking anything. I checked some of my domains and they aren't showing any ads on any of them.

Did Namedrive lose their feed?

Same here. Last 3 days.

squirrel · #3 (**permalink**) 9th May 2012, 05:46 PM

you guys have absolutely no clicks ?

Clotho · #4 (**permalink**) 9th May 2012, 05:50 PM

My CTR was less than 2% yesterday.

Normally it is between 11% to 14%.

no clicks yesterday for me at all

All fine on my end.

Drewbert · #7 (**permalink**) 9th May 2012, 11:05 PM

Sarcle's end is very fine, based on what Alpha told me.

I'm not having any problems either.

Was Alpha comparing his end to yours? Ha

I have sent 2 emails and they haven't replied. I am losing patience. Can anyone suggest another parking company that does well with Japanese IDN's?

No, no, no. That's not how these things are handled now-a-days. You have to embarrass them on https://www.facebook.com/NameDrive

Works, every time!

Maybe somebody smart about SEO can comment whether this is possibly related to Google's recent Penguin update?

I heard it was supposed to be especially aggressive against parked pages, low quality links, if I got it right. Can it possibly be a defensive action by Namedrive if at all related?

Clotho · #12 (**permalink**) 10th May 2012, 04:17 AM

My parked domains are not indexed so that shouldn't matter.

Domainer1 · #13 (**permalink**) 10th May 2012, 10:06 AM

I think Voodoo com and Bodis com are the best parking companies.

markits · #14 (**permalink**) 10th May 2012, 02:39 PM

I thought it only happened to me..
It seems to be normal again.

TrafficDomainer · #15 (**permalink**) 10th May 2012, 04:06 PM

I highly recommend Bodis as well, way better results compared to Namedrive from personal experience.

I think you had mentioned that Bodis didn't do as well with Japanese domains. Is this correct? Should I try Voodoo instead?

Bodis doesn't have the "big" 1$-2$ clicks (and up) so I wouldn't park my Japanese there.

If I were you I'd test the parking co of the original namedrive team -can'T remember if it's parking crew or rookmedia or another -

Also, if you qualify for IT I'd go with them

The original people from Namedrive went on to create rookmedia and frankly I don't trust them. There was plenty of funny stuff going on with my stats at Namedrive before they were bought and most of that seemed to go away after the sale.

Does anyone have any experience with Voodoo?

squirrel · #19 (**permalink**) 10th May 2012, 07:52 PM

ok, didn't know that

Hi all,

Sorry to hear of the hassles.
If anyone is having problems with stats please email me directly parking@namedrive.com please include the subject IDN Forum. Please include both your user name here and NameDrive log in so I know that everyone has been helped.
We have had a couple of instances this week with names being blocked with our advertising partner and therefore will not convert. But as far as I am aware those concerned have been notified.

Thanks

Craig
