WhyPark™ Information: Ask at the Forum

I stepped into two domain name forum discussions this past weekend and figured I'd see if I could address questions about WhyPark directly. I'm off schedule from the twelve posts that I originally planned, but I wanted to point out these two forum threads which I will monitor and add input about WhyPark.

NamePros.com WhyPark review thread I made my virgin post on NamePros and was pleasantly surprised with the welcome I received. I had been there before when I did research on WhyPark before I spent my first $100, but at the time there was very little information. Now there is quite a bit of information about WhyPark. Most of the commentary about WhyPark on this forum is pretty much on target and makes for a good read if your considering a WhyPark subscription.

There was a lot of discussion about Adsense not serving ads to some WhyPark sites, including mine. It seems like it was rather random and some WhyPark customers are still receiving Adsense ads. As an alternative a WhyPark ad feed has been developed and is almost ready to come out of beta testing. I've had 304 domains in the beta test; some clicks have been .01 and the highest has been 1.35. This is comparable to the click amounts from last year at this time with Adsense.

Here's a quote from the DNforum thread from FAB, who confirms what I'm experiencing from the beta test. "WhyPark recently set up there own ad network, which is still in Beta, and they are paying presently 100% income for all the testers. In any case, I am making a considerable bit more with them, then I am with Google and Adbrite."

There's been a lot of A - B testing going on with the WhyPark ad feed and that's why there's been a lot of variability on the PPC and the CTR. I definitely see more relevant ads some days than other days and it definitely shows up in the CTR. I can't disclose the ad sources, notice plural, but some are much better than others. At the end of the beta testing we should end up with highly optimized ad feed. WhyPark hosted domains are generating an increasing amount of traffic each week and as we meet certain thresholds, more ad feeds become available to us.

The agreement we signed with ClickForensics is a statement to the suppliers of the ad feeds that we don't want click fraud on WhyPark sites. It's a pretty neat service that identifies invalid and fraudulent clicks to make sure quality traffic is delivered to a paying advertiser.

I make kids clothes for a living so I modified this quote from the Godfather to fit this post, "when I get tired of my wife, Corky and Company, I spend time with my mistress, WhyPark." It's time for me to get back to my wife.

Definition: WhyPark; noun, 1) A service to build websites visitors find engaging and useful. verb, 1) To monetize domains that do not monetize well with domain parking companies.
