Thread: Domain Parking

What are some good domain parking options? I have accumulated a few domains recently and thought I would park them till I do something with them. I applied to parked.com and just received an email of rejection from them

In order for Parked.com to pay industry leading payouts we have to ensure traffic quality for our network is of the highest standards.
Our traffic quality department has analyzed your application and has determined that it does not currently meet the standards we are looking for in new Parked.com partners.

Sincerely,
The Parked.com Traffic Quality Department

What the heck are they looking for? Most of the ones I submitted were travel related :eek:

I suppose they are looking for lots of typein traffic, either on the basis of the domain name itself, or through backlinks.

A lot of people recommend NameDrive

sedo will be agood option.

Sedo doesn't pay much at all. Godaddy has good parking program that uses adsense on your sites... something to consider

I have used sedo in the past, haven't tried anything else to compare it to though

Don't you have to pay godaddy for the privilege?

I signed up with namedrive and they are supposedly sending a confirmation mail to activate the account. Still waiting!

Sorry, we had a a free account since we were there when it started this program I totally forgot its paid now!

No problem I thought I remembered seeing complaints about the godaddy parking. The cost to join didn't justify the small payout.

:Edit. Just got an email from namedrive saying they manually activated me, so I'll see what that service looks like. I'll keep y'all posted

Sedo is poor. Sedo Pro is better but you need an invite.

NameDrive is ok I guess.

Fabulous.com is by far the best but you need a "premium" portfolio to be considered.

TrafficClub uses feeds from different networks like Skenzo etc etc.

Parked.com is meant to be ok.

Well I have around 4000 domains at present so I like to split test them across all networks to see which preform the best for each keyword.

So yes, I have tried them all. The ones listed above anyways.

explain plz?

There are so many parking sites ou there it is very difficult to say which is the best one! I use 3 different, parked-sedo-namdrive

Some you will find will not allow certain type's of names ie adult-drink.

It is best to do trial and error and make sure if you do have the option with your parking company to ensure you have optimized the domain to the best suited sections = more revenue

In the month of March the domain received 2,657 views, but only 179 people clicked on the ads on the page. This gave a click through rate of 6.74%, with an average of €0.19 per click. Thus the total revenue for the domain in the month of March was €34.49.

Click NameDrive.com and then sign up. I heard they're good (for business).

Keep watching Domain Parking
The beta is closed at the moment, but they're paying out a 100% of what's earned.

Remind us again when they open

I've never made money parking domains, dont know much about it. Usually just held the domain until I developed it and either made money on ads or sold the developed site.

Do you get good revenue with parking?

If so, I might start into it..

Last week, I put in a whole lot of domains that my office owns on Sedo. One thing I've noticed is that domains which are parked using the non-standard templates get clicks while the ones with normal white template get none.
Revenue-wise: 50c in one week. Not that great.

Domain parking never works well for me, I always prefer to just set up a WordPress blog on the domain and put some content on it...any content. With Adsense.

I only decided to use it while I was waiting for the motivation to get sites up on the domains

Hmmm just looked at my stats at namedrive. A huge $0.00!
