How has the adsense domain parking been working for people? I've made like a few cents but I just started yesterday, and I was just wondering how it's working out for other peoples.
Does domain parking mean you buy a keyword rich domain and then stick up a few notices and whack the page full of Adsense? If it is then with no content building and PR building on a day to day basis, I just wonder how you will manage to make a worthy profit from it?! I guess arbitage could work, but you should at least leave some valuable information on there.
It beats your registrar putting up ads on unused domains and you getting nothing on them. But I don't see it as a serious money maker.
It's only good if you have some domain you want to use later which already has some type-in or link traffic. I already tried it, for example here: www.livinginsure.com but unless you have a lot of traffic, you're not gonna win with this.
That is a decent look for a parking page. Thanks for the share Timehacker. I have been wondering what they look like.
It's easy to add the site you just have to follow the instructions. There are links to add your domain and make your aliases and stuff from godaddy or freelancedomains or whatever else site you use for your domains, takes a bit of time but after you do one you can just copy over the settings to other domains. I think this is a good program if it's done right with the right domain names check out breastcanceradvice (dot) org it looks like a nice ad page.
Well I haven't setup a full adsense program yet but I'm thinking about doing some adsense ready sites for resale but I see that is a flooded market because there is so much copied and repeat content, so individuals would have to create there own content I won't be pre-filling.
Are you sure leandar? What if we park a purchased domain or old domain that no longer contains any content but still has backlinks and results in search engines?
That is an understatement..Littered is more like it. Decimated, Destroyed, Jacked Up, are some others that come to mind.
I moved a pretty solid domain over to Adsense for Domains and was not impressed at all - at first. Revenue was about the same but actual clicks were lower. I attribute the lower CTR to landing pages that are not very attractive and inviting. About two months ago revenue picked up for this domain and has been generating the most revenue since it has been parked (years). The increase over RevenueDirect is about 20% and about 30% higher then Parked. It's possible that someone is targeting ads on this domain, which would account for the added revenue. Traffic has been solid for over ten years, which is nearly all type in traffic. In general I am pleased with Adsense for Domains since I am earning more with this domain. But I have yet to move the remainder of my domains to Google, but I intend on doing it. Adsense for Domains has similar policies as other parking providers - probably because they supply ad feeds to some of them. Organic traffic is fine (existing backlinks, SE positions, and type in traffic). But actively building backlinks for the domain, using PPC to increase traffic, etc. are all frowned upon and can get you booted out of the program. Domain parking is fine, but you need domains that have type in traffic or a lot of backlinks to make any money. Don't develop a site and park it as it would be a waste of time. But these days for good domains with a fair amount of traffic you are going to be paying mid hundreds to thousands of dollars. And don't forget as webmasters learn the domain is parked, they will remove most of the backlinks.
Hmm... I guess I'll just leave them sit... instead of actually trying to make money off them. I'll just leave it be for now.
If you have a good domain name you should recieve natural traffic to your site. I have one domain that gets over 100 hits a day and was never registered before. It only makes about a dollar a day, but that more than pays for itself and 35 other domains a year. I see it as a way to offset the cost of investments that are still waiting to be developed. If anyone is wondering what a page looks like google has an Example Page here.
