Best place to park my domain?

    I wonder where is the best place to park my domain? Let's say I have a high-traffic domain (I don't have it yet :D ) and want to make most of it. Which domain parking service pays the most $ per click?

    I know e.g. sedo.com or I also like parked.com. However, to sign up, you need to park at least 10 domains at parked.com and that I don't have. And I don't like those that put popups on your site.

    Where do you guys park your high-traffic domain names?

    If you don't even own it yet, surely you could get some content written for when you acquire it, that would do better than a parking page.

    Do you mean I will earn more with my domain if I put my own content with it and add Google Ads?

    well, how high do you mean for "high-traffic"? some people think 100 unique/month is high-traffic, lol. I just hope you are not one of them.
    If you got a domain has over 7500 uniques/day, try HitFarm. You need an invitation though.

    Well as every domainer will say different parking services work better with different kind of names, but for a starter all these sounds weird and difficult

    Sedo may look bad but it's good when you have traffic outside US and UK because from their control panel and their automatic geoip detection they are able to offer the right language to the surfer and increase the possibility to click

    If you are regular user of sedo and you don't have good results don't try Sedopro because they will use Sedo's data to verify your rates
    Even if you have 200 names they may don't allow you to join

    The best overall is Namedrive
    Plain, simple and easy for most of the users
    That's why, i personally recommend them for the moment (who know what future will bring, so far it's the safest option)

    I have tried different domain parking sites and most of them pay too little if they pay someday somehow.

    It's better create your landing page with some content, AdSense and/or any other sponsored advertising to generate a steady revenue from parking.

    Even i will agree with you this can be done for 2 cases :
    1. When domainer has will and time to construct a good mini site
    2. When domains are few

    If these conditions don't apply it's hard to create a landing page so the solution of the parking company is good

    It will be only about 5 domains for me, so it shouldn't be a problem. :) Thank you guys for your tips.

    I wouldn't advice you to put adsense to your mini-sites

    There is an increment for adsense accounts attacks
    (third parties click multiple times to the ads at your sites, you forget to report it, your adsense account is banned for ever)
    Google doesn't protect you from these attacks. They work like police detectives. Who's got the motive and who's gonna profit from this ?
    You... so get a nice ban

    Many people got banned just like that. Big sites don't have this kind of problems, small non reputable sites are the ones in danger

    Use affiliate links or other related links which are OK (for now) or just use a middle man (parking service)

    I also wonder if this can happen on sedo.com, too? I mean if my domain name is for sale and parked with sedo, and someone would click many times on the ads on my site, can sedo ban me for this? Or, they'll just cancel that my domain for sale?

    Google will recognize it's been parked and it will stop indexing it.

    I don't mean Google Ads now, but Sedo ads - Sedo's sponsored links that are shown on your site when you park your domain with them.

    That's Google parking, Sedo's parking sponsor.
    The ads on the pages are exactly what Google wants.

    Google requires a large domains portfolio with traffic in order to accept you while Sedo does not worth compared with many other sponsoring programs if you ask me after trying almost all.


    I have a few hundred domains parked on my own and it's not that hard using .htaccess.

    Of course all domains must be parked within the same account where all landing pages reside and then .htaccess points visitors/search engines to the right mini site (up to 3 pages) per domain.

    So may I get banned by sedo if there would be someone clicking on my ads many times like crazy?

    If yes, I would rather create an index page for my domain, host it with my freehost and put some ads (maybe chitika ads) and it I wouldn't mind it very much if I got banned by chitika.

    I believe Sedo automatically prevents that. If you click like 5 times, your IP gets temporarily banned.
