I have my domains parked at XYZParking.com. What makes your system better?

Make no mistake, ParkingPanel.com is not your traditional parking service. ParkingPanel.com is the only parking service with a solid background in modern interactive marketing and lead generation techniques. ParkingPanel.com's parent company, Stormwest, has been a leader in lead generation, affiliate marketing, and vertical integration solutions for online marketers since 1995.

That's great, but what is this "Technology" you speak of? I've heard it before.

ParkingPanel.com utilizes some really great innovative technologies that Stormwest has been using for years. Instead of just using an A/B methodology on templates, Stormwest has ChromAnalysis color-selecting technology, HeatSeeker Heat Mapping technology, EPC vs. PPC Affiliate-click technology for higher revenues, and revenue-weighted relevancy – the most important key to success in a search-based parking service. Two new features of ParkingPanel.com include BehavioraLink "memory" technology which allows searched keywords to be recycled to mold the user experience and TypoTact which will auto-correct mis-typed generic domain names to help drive user experience to relevant and highly sought advertisers. Feel free to contact our team at any time for a live demo.

Ok, I'm sold on your technology. Tell me about your advertisers.

Stormwest is one of the top 3 paid search monetization aggregators in the direct navigation industry. Starting with several hundred advertisers in 2000 to several thousand today, Stormwest now manages many advertising agency relationships that integrate with the Stormwest Sponsored Listings platform. We backfill with major monetization providers to ensure not only the highest click prices but also the most coverage. Over time our system only gets better since the revenues only get shared once – with you.

What is this CPA Lead Generation product I hear of on the forums?

ParkingPanel.com allows you three ways to monetize your domain names. The traditional method of using a pay-per-click (PPC) service is the default monetization method on ParkingPanel.com. We also allow you to drive traffic directly to a cost-per-action (CPA) landing page form if we have a lead generation client with open orders in our system that is currently looking for your targeted traffic.

Does your system self-optimize?

Our system optimizes templates, generates ChromaKeys and ties colors to keywords and vertical industries, we also map every link position on each page and try to find the hottest heatmap area to put the most profitable related search keywords, cultivating the absolute best climate for profitable clicks and more revenue to you.

I am not technical. How hard is it to integrate?

Integrating with our system requires no technical knowledge. Our integration team will assist you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with any issues that may arise with driving traffic to ParkingPanel.com.

It would be really cool to see XYZ feature on your system. Can you implement this for me?

Feel free to submit any and all suggestions. We take seriously any suggestions and will do what it takes to go the extra mile to ensure your success.

I see your country override function. Do you redirect traffic based on the country code TLD?

Our feed partnerships intelligently find the best providers for international traffic. Over time, we plan on actively seeking advertisers to help ensure high CPMs internationally regardless of our secondary feed provider.

I want to use your nameservers. What do I do?

Login to your registrar account and set your nameservers to the following:

NS1.PARKINGPANEL.COM
NS2.PARKINGPANEL.COM

I want to use frame redirection. How can I do this?

Use our URL at http://park.parkingpanel.com/domainexample.com

I want to use my own DNS server. Can I point an A record to your parking system?

Yes. Please point your records to the IP address of our load balancer at 64.195.235.119.

If I use frame redirection or my own DNS, do I still need to add domains to my account?

Currently you must still tell us which domains you're pointing to us or we cannot properly credit you. If we see popular demand we may include unique ID frame redirection in the near future.

How often do you pay?

We pay 45 days after the end of each month. Once you have a track record with us and generate our minimums and we can verify your domain traffic is of a high quality, we can move you to Net 30 terms. Long term partners with a good track record can get paid within a Net 15 schedule.

What is your minimum payout?

Our minimum payment by check or PayPal is $50.00. Our minimum wire is $500. International wires minimum payout is $2500.

I want to use PayPal as my payment method. Do you charge a fee to use PayPal?

ParkingPanel.com does not charge a fee to use PayPal, however PayPal may charge their own customers to accept PayPal payments. If you want a fee-free payment method the best method is to accept payment by check.

Do you allow arbitrage or purchased traffic?

Currently our system only allows for direct navigation type-in traffic. Users who are found to be in violation of this policy agree to forfeit revenues unless given specific permission from ParkingPanel.com staff.
