I moved parking companies and now my type-in traffic is down by 75% -- WHY ???

    I had a domain parked with Namedrive that was receiving 100-150 type-ins per day.
    I then moved it to Bodis and now its receiving only 20-40 a day instead.
    Why is this ??? Is it something to do with the A records ??

    I cannot list the domain here as it is an adult domain, but is similar to this >> "wwwexampledomain.com"
    PLEASE HELP !!

    the only explanation can be that they count it differently, for example only unique typeins (i.e. same person entering it twice in a row they count as one visit)

    I did think of that, but to go from 100 type-ins to 30 is a BIG drop.

    BUT another thing, there is 2900 [exact] monthly google searches for my domain, yet it doesnt receive ANY traffic from this, even tho it is SERP #1.

    I'm really confused.

    The other possibility is that they are cheating you. :)

    Something is wrong .... I've just looked at my stats with Namedrive and Bodis .... i was receiving traffic with BOTH parking companies simultaneously on the domain for about three days.

    Now thats bizarre !!

    Probably a lagging nameserver so some people around the world were getting pointed to old nameserver and thus old parking while some were getting new nameserver and new parking. That has happened to me before when making changes. I was thinking that it might be that as well. You can reset your nameservers again if it persists.
