parking domains yourself?

Discussion in 'Domain Names' started by Pixelrage, Nov 30, 2007.

    Is there a publisher service that won't ban you for putting their ads on a page you've parked yourself? I can't seem to find a good service that I can park domains with (rather, all of them have bad reviews), so I was wondering if I could just put up a 1-page site myself for a few of them.

    SEDO.com is a great parking service.

    Depending on your sites, I can give you a referral link to ParkingPanel.com. Gorgeous templates, great RPC on most niches, excellent service (assigned own customer rep). You customize the templates with your own heading/title + have an inquire link for people interested in purchasing your domain.

    If you're interested, let me know. Or you can just check out my blog and click the link in the sidebar under "information." Not sure if you've tried ParkingPanel, but I recommend them and if PP didn't work for you, check out Parked.com. I've also got a referral link for them on my blog in the sidebar.

    Only think is that your portfolio needs to be approved. Try em out anyways! It's better to park then try and make an MFA site. That would be a last resort, IMO.

    I thought about SEDO, but I was really turned off at their domain auctions - I heard their parking service pays nothing (?) not sure if it's true though.

    Fka - thanks, I'll take your suggestion and see if they accept me.

    Markn, if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I don't normally check this section of the forum that much, but I can be very helpful with domain parking/etc.

    I make pretty decent money buying expired domains and just parking them on sedo. Actually last month was nearly $2,000.

    Imagine what you could make if you parked them somewhere else besides Sedo

    Sedo pays pennies for American traffic compared to any other leading parking company. But when it comes to foreign traffic, they pay much better than the rest.

    I think most domainers will agree [URL="http://www.parked.com/]Parked.com[/URL] is the top performing company these days. Get yourself an account there.

    Have a nice day ;)

    Most of the parked domain companies have one major fault, ie, the parking pages look terrible.

    Any reason why you would not go with NameDrive ? They did win Best Performing Parking Program 2007.

    Here are a couple of namedrive parked pages:
    win2k8.info
    HannaMontana.info

    Note the difference between this and your standard parked pages.

    If you're making 2k at sedo, I hope you went to SedoPro? You can turn that into $2400 without changing a thing (just a higher rev share).

    I'm sure he would be using sedopro as anyone earning over $200 monthly qualifies for it. BTW parkingpanel and namedrive are good as well.

    Claudek: is that the one that has a $99 one time fee? I'm not looking to spend any money on this, I'd rather put that towards advertising my other site.

    save: that's awesome :D I wonder how long that strategy could last, though? Also, what publisher program are you using? (probably not Adsense?)

    Parked looks decent so far, I just don't like the fact that you can't edit your landing page at all - what you see is what you get :(

    you can use the steady niche it is in my sig the first 2.

    its not mine.

    but you have all control and all revenue.

    it is a good alternative.

    There are no fees to join NameDrive. As already mentioned, their templates are much nicer looking than most other vendors. Besides the examples I gave in my post above, you can check some samples on their tour page @ http://namedrive.com/nd_tour.php?lang=e

    thanks...is there a general range of what to expect in terms of payoff per click? I noticed that none of these sites ever really mention it. Is it at the same caliber of Adsense's payoff, or less?

    Each click varies. Varies by geolocation, time of day, which precise link is clicked, your quality score, etc. Bid values even change during the day I believe as different advertisers use their budgets and such.

    NameDrive has a pretty decent base rev share (70% - http://ohashi.info/parking/name-drive) compared to many others. Of course that is only % of what they are getting from google. SO you kind of have to look at the sort of traffic they are moving to get an idea of rev share they probably are getting from google.

    I'll look into NameDrive - thanks

    I was reading up on SteadyNiche, it sounds and looks great, but I don't know if it's worth the $150 for unlimited domains...plus, you only get 1 year of support, so I'm guessing it's going to wind up being another annual fee. I wonder how hard it would be to just generate the same kind of RSS website from scratch.

    I could not agree more.

    It makes me laugh anytime someone mentions Sedo. MY RPC with them was absolutely horrible. I would not recommend them for parking at all...
