I am new to all this, so in case u find this quest stupid, pls bear with me I just wanted to know, if we can promote our parked domains like we promote a regular website. I think it can work much better than adsense that way ..
No don't think it is possible to promote parked domains... because Google or any SE not find thing in your site worth to index.
hmm.. u mean that all the traffic must be direct from the url entered on the address bar ? and that it can not be from a referred site or any such thing ? so then whats the basis concept of parked domain ? just look out for a good domain by guessing what might ppl type on the address bar for searching ?
Most parked domains earning revenue are premium generics getting substantial traffic from people typing in the domain directly in the browser. There is also a market for typo domains, but you run into issues if it's a TM typo. You can't promote parked domains on forums etc because this is not natural traffic.
I am new to this can any one tell What exactly are parked domains I have heard a lot about this but don't know what exactly it is.
What about submitting parked domains to www.directoryparking.com ? It's a directory of domains for sale.
Put your domain in better use. I will never park my domain in any parking service. You can put one article in a domain and one affiliate link and that will serve better for you.
'Dear 28081981' About promoting, if you mean advertising (PPC, Autosurf,... etc.) for Parked Domain or placing its link on blogs or forums , according to the most parking systems TOS they are not allowed and will end up with account suspension. but if you mean promoting on SEs (you know it's SEO) it is ok and not little traffic came from here. let me quote snippet from SEDO TOS : But you should know when you park your domain, it will drop from google and you can benefit from search engine traffic in limited time.(but amount of the SE traffic on that period is considerable ) Good Luck!
what abt the case in case of a popular site (eg DP) decides to park its domian name, it already has thousands of backlinks, so what will happen in this case? can SEDO n others bann such accounts too ?
No domain parking firm accepts promotion or advertising for the domain that is parked on their system. However most of them can not ban you if you have links on other sites that was placed before you parked with them. Suppose you have a domain that has 1000 links in other pages and for some reason you want to park it and monetize it in parking. How can you manage to get those 1000 links removed? who will go into that much of trouble? I had a domain that had 11000 links (no link building just word of mouth) on other sites and when my coder left me without a warning (like most of them do) i could not keep up with the problems and parked it in one of them. Surprisingly i started to make 8-10 times more money in parking than google adsense revenue The domain was parked for 1.5 years and it was still getting 1700 unique visitors (which actually raised in this period ) and over 600 Euros of income. They kept sending me mails, investigated my traffic, questioned me on the phone etc. I explained them the same point and at the end they were convinced that i was right and there was not any promotion or fraud on the domain, it was just normal traffic. In my case all the links were there before the domain was parked. However i have no idea how they can evaluate if the link was given before parking or after parking is a question that can not be answered i think.
