ParkingCrew 0-1 cent clicks!!

[Muhammad Mustafa]

Is it only me who gets 0 cent clicks up to quarter, half and a maximum of 1 cent clicks in ParkingCrew for his IDNs or its the ongoing rate there??

I read about ParkingCrew $44's click days ago, and can't really judge if its my names or PC rates, hence I've been with bodis for long and just moved some of my names to PC almost days ago for test purpose...

Within Bodis I used to get 10-50 cents a click with average 15-20% CTR
Within ParkingCrew I now get .5-1 cent a click with an average 50-70% CTR for the same names...


Any thoughts??

I still monitor PC... My revenue was very good first month I parked but now is declining

PC works well for Japanese, not so sure about other languages.

Blocking my 캄보디아.com because it's a TM. Yeah, right...

[Steve Clarke]

I found that the Japanese paid very well...but the other languages, not so much, that was last year, don't know if that changed.
Had better traffic this month, but a fair bit less revenue, than last month.

ParkingCrew don't block. Google block. If you don't believe me, move it to a different parking company .... all ParkingCrew do is clearly demonstrate blocked domains whilst other parking companies hide the fact, that' a good thing in my book.

Yep, they explain it in on their site. .5-1 cent click with very high CTR sounds amazingly like blocked domains. Look at the "?" symbol next to the CTR column and you will see the explanation.

You can check if the domain is blocked by Google very simply at ParkingCrew. Just hit the 'folders' link.

Since everybody is saying to give ParkingCrew a go with Japanese, I think I will. Anybody have a referral link they want to send me? I'll follow the first one that goes through to my PM.

Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your inputs, PC reminds me of Sedo where I keep making *shit* for my domains, moving out to Bodis again, gonna give it a try with some Japanese and see how it works...

Just an advice for those who didn't tried Bodis yet, move some IDNs their and give it a try!

Arabic generally does well at Bodis.

As for ParkingCrew if anyone has French IDNs, you might try them there. CTR is way better than at Sedo (so far).

PC CTR can never be compared with Sedo (or any other!) so far, the highest CTR for me, but in the matter of revenue, both are the same so far, I am getting much much better CPC in bodis for Arabic and other languages as well as for ASCII too...

a word of warning, it can take a long time for it to find the best performing parking provider; but it will eventually find it. I made the mistake of assuming it would find ParkingCrew for all my Japanese domains, but after a few weeks of waiting I hardcoded them in the above interface.

I've just signed up with PC to test their system on our Japanese IDN. Will report back in a few days once revenue stats show up, but so far the CTR is about 40% higher than I was seeing on wixi.jp.

Of course, CTR is (pretty much) irrelevant - parking companies win or lose on how much cash winds up in your pocket for a given time period. Fingers crossed!

And the jury's in. I'm not going to go into precise numbers, but ParkingCrew revenue is MUCH higher than wixi.jp revenue, at least for my portfolio. We're not talking a few % here or there, we're talking about game-changing differences (when doing the renewal costs vs parking metric)

So if you have strong Japanese generics, try ParkingCrew. You might be surprised. I know I was!

Another PC convert here.

After years of being lazy and never getting around to it, I decided to move all of my Japanese and Chinese names over to PC from ND on 11/1.

Results: one month's revenue (total, including some high-traffic Russians and Arabics that I didn't move) at ND was achieved within 7 days at PC (JP and CN/ZH only).

The last few days things have calmed down considerably, but it's only been two weeks, and I'll monitor my performance a little more closely from now on.

One thing I would like to see at PC is a "note" option, where you can add a note to a domain name that pops up when you hover over the name (very useful for adding translations and languages to domain names).

[Wot]

Moved a few names to PC 4 days ago. So far 4 clicks all $ 0.00 revenue.

One good thing is that I can now park .中国,.香港 etc and see them in native language and not punycode.

I could neither park them at Bodis, and still only see punycode for my IDN.com,mainly Chinese, which I guess will now all be moved to PC.
