Donny Simonton of Parked.com: Interview

Leonard Holmes interviews Donny Simonton.

In a recent post Andrew questioned the value of internet video for many purposes.  I don’t completely disagree.  My own pet peeve is pages that start playing the video as soon as you land on the page.  Give me a play button.  I know how to use it.

I do believe that interviews can be a great use of video, still.  I personally get a lot more out of a video interview, since the person’s personality often shines through much better than in a text interview.  Take the example of this Donny Simonton Interview, fresh from DOMAINfest Global.  Donny lets us know that PPC (pay-per-click) numbers are down around 20% across domains in their system.  He tells us that financial domains are hit even harder than others.  He puts a bright face on all this by telling us that Parked has been able to make some design changes to tweak a few more clicks out of people in some cases, so in those cases income may be flat.  He also shares that Parked will now allow you to include TemplateMonster templates on your domains within their system.  

This rote description pales in comparison to the video interview.  Click below and see if you don’t agree:
