How to make money from parking domains?

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by slyvisions, Oct 5, 2007.

    I have heard much about making money by parking and selling domains. How exactly do I do that? What is the difference between parking it and just buying it and actually selling the site? Which one is preferred? I need some tips, so I'd appreciate any type of help. Thanks.

    Parking domains is easy. There are many parking companies out there and they are free. Sedo.com is very popular as well as parked.com. Parking domains are a great way to monetize them if your not developing it or if you they are waititng to be developed.

    You can also park domains just to see what type of money can be generated from them. Everyone has their own preferences, however I would recommend at least parking a few to see what you make. You might be very suprised.

    You can also simply buy and sell names. Many people will ask if a name generates any revenue to gauge if they want to buy a name or not, or to see how much they would be willing to pay for a name. So through parking it you will get some stats to go by.

    Hope I've been some help.

    you should have traffic to the domain you want to park
    then you will make good money!
    godaddy is also good but you should pay 9$/month....
    parked.com is very nice

    parked.com wants domains with high traffic in theirs standards
    you can list and park any domains with sedo.com - but if you have high quality domin names work with parked.com

    and u can find some articles here:

    Sounds good. Drivengrl, you say that it's free? Which one exactly is free? Sedo or Parked? Don't I have to pay for the domains to park them?

    parking domain names does not require any costs, but only your needs for parked.com is domains that meets their standards - and for sedo.com no any thing, you can park any domain names for free..

    So let me get this straight. I don't even have to OWN and BUY the domain that I am parking/selling?

    You have to pay to register the domain. There are places you can park them for free like sedo.com, but don't expect to make much $$ unless you find one getting lots of traffic.

    No, you are just pointing your dns settings to sedo. They are not the domain registrar.

    Does the parking pay good money and click-through rate. PM me some example of your domains please. I'm thinking to start domains with traffic and park them for profit and I would like to know is it worth it.

    how exactly can you find out what kind of traffic a parked domain is getting (for instance, on Godaddy, where you can barely put a damn thing on the free parked pages they give you?)

    I don't know about godaddy but with namecheap you can use the "custom parked page" function.

    1- I had Godaddy CashParking for 6 months in 2006 and that was a little waste. CashParking you have to pay a monthly fee, then I tried Sedo for some time and finally have good results with Parked

    2- You need to own domains with some traffic already to earn from them, if no traffic, you will have a domain parked doing nothing.

    I also heard that it's possible to make money with this, but have never heard of any specific cases. In general I think you have to really be in the business and probably park hundreds if not thousands of domain names to make any money.
