Now that I have spread my domains through SEDO, Namedrive and Fabulous, I can say that Fabulous gives by the far the best PPC and only a slightly lower CTR than Namedrive. SEDO, however, doesn't seem to get me a high amount per click or a large number of clicks. The affiliate program for Namedrive is something that seems to be fairly effective.
I use SEDO, but probably not for much longer. PROS: Prompt payment (for me anyway) Admin panel well designed Usually serves up content that matches my domain CONS: CPC low and in decline! Admin panel glitches occasionally What really prompted me to start looking for another Domain Name Sponsor though was the email I received from SEDO asking where my traffic was coming from. I recently purchased a domain that had a lot of legacy typein traffic and parked it at SEDO. After a couple of months I received an email from SEDO asking me were the traffic came from, and unless I could verify the source, they would withhold payment. I explained to them the situation but never received a reply. It's not as though we are talking vast sums of money either, but it's the principal of the thing
Can you link me to a couple of the sites which are ranking well in google using these templates? I might try it to see how it does. Thanks[/QUOTE] http://www.umbrellatechnologies.net/About-UTInc.php - I have 500+ sites on this page in the system, many with pagerank and still holding pagerank. Please ask any question you want, it only helps us tweek things to fit our client needs better. Preston
Like I said, its all about the type of names, the tld extension, the category, typo or type in, etc. I need to look at the names to give some good advise. But ok, in very very general terms speaking I can say for US traffic: Start with domainsponsor, you cant go wrong there Gambling traffic? Park those at fabulous.com Very general traffic, try namedrive, they do well for me Parking services that did not good for me: domainspa, klickerz, parked foreign traffic: namedrive does best for my .it traffic domainsponsor does best for my .hu traffic .nl traffic I use affiliate programs for at kliks.nl/affiliates.nl hope this helps a bit

That sounds awesome. I saw the banner ad for parketeer at the top of the forum and was wondering about it. i'll definitely be signing up in december.
I'm getting very little from NameDrive. At first it was pretty good, but now the clicks are very low. I, myself will be searching another site for better clicks.
Parketeer is changing the domain market in just a few ways; We don't control the the ppc dial behind the scenes and dole out to you whatever amount suits us. We don't control your money. We have watched people jump from one parking system to another, stating that the revenue is getting less. We have seen this in our own domains. The problem when you move your domains is it is nothing different, just another dompany with their hand on the ppc dial. So nothing gets solved. We consider our Parketeer as more than just a parking company. We generate mini sites, ones that you can manage, customize, add your own content and tweek for the best revenue possible. Drawback: instant glory! Where most parking systems provide that instant gratification of money they reign. But instant gratification always comes at a price. The price is at your expense. How can your domain business grow if someone always slices your profit off the top? It will not. Something must change. Parketeer is that change, its different. You just have to see for yourself.

I just got the following email from ReveueDirect. More info here: http://revenuedirect.com/payme50.htm Awesome offer, if you ask me. I'm going to move a bunch of domains over to them today and see what happens. Hit me with some rep points if you find this helpful.
These parking services will go to any length to get your sites in the door so they can take 50% of your revenue for as long as you are a client. I am sure they have stipulations on the gift that you have to park with them for 6 months or a year so that 50 cent fee is well covered. Remember it's your money, keep as much of it as you can, then you can buy more domains. Can you imagine if you have one domain that makes $100. Lets put aside you give the parking company $50 of that money. Look at the side the parking company is on. Lay out almost nothing and get 50% of the revenue from 10,000 - 100,000 - or 1 million domains - You can see who wins at this game and it is not the domain owners who get 50% less in return. Be careful, very careful. Deals that look good for the moment benefit the deal maker not the deal taker. Thats business. Go read the fine print, you will see what I mean.
