Parking domains - Is there a trick to the settings?

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by johnegood, Nov 11, 2008.

    I have about 85 parked domains split between trafficlcub, godaddy, and namedrive. The results, with one domain as an exception, are pathetic.

    Before I entirely give up on this, is there an art to the settings? I've called their help desks and sent in emails and gotten some feedback that it makes a big difference as to whether it's well tuned or not. But no guidance on how to go about tuning them.

    I'm eager for ideas on what constitutes good "tuning". Is there some reputable guy/gal out there that will explain this to me at some reasonable rate per hour.

    If you want more details on my results, i have a blog post on it that shows up first if you google: intermediate seo

    This might help ya. Check out https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal If you don't know how to use google keywords then vist www.youtube.com and make a video search for google keywords. Hopefully you can find a tutorial or just respond to your thread and I will see if i can find the right words to teach you on how to use google keywords.

    You simply have to have kick-ass domains, that's basically it. Since most programs will ban you if you drive traffic to a parked page, your domains have to get a lot of type-in traffic, and have keywords in them that will trigger the higher paying ads.

    Would you say that these are kickass? They're producing nada...
    i think they're good domains and that it's the settings that I've screwed up somehow....

    How many direct visits do they get? If they're getting none, then they won't do well with any parking service.

    I would say go for parked com. I was using sedo for my domains but parked pays much more for the same amount of clicks.

    I've used Parked before, the results were horrible. Penny clicks...sometimes a 4-5 cent click here and there.

    Hey, your domains are not bad. Cant you rather build a site than park. I think this way you can earn more.

    i was in this situation before with revenue on parking domain names... anyway , parked domain names that don't have direct traffic is a wast of time if you park them as mentioned above in one of the guys post the names will never rank better in search engines without having a content and back links and that is the only way to build traffic from domain names that does not have type-in traffic,
    one more thing is some parking systems does not count the revenue generated from traffic coming from a back link or referral from other websites, so as you can see you are loosing a portion of money that way ,

    to make it short : if you have a ypn or gogle adsense or both why you try to split the revenue generated from your domain name clicks , you need to design small websites/blogs for your domain names, and if you can't look at my sig , that was made from scratch project for my own needs and working great for me , and i opened it to the public but not just anyone....

    Unless you have pretty big domain typo, and unless you are doing it temporarily for the busy times sake i personally see no point of parking.
