I have a domain that i haven't use for 8 months. I parked it at sedo to give it a try... WOW! I am making 1$ a day with it! I think thats pretty cool. I have a CTR of 4%... i never expect it to be above 1%. What's your CTR on parked domains? where do you prefer to park it? What ppc do they offer?
Some of mine are like 200%.. obviously fradualent clicks coming from somewhere. $1 per domain is very good though.
$1/day at Sedo? Try parking that sucker somewhere else and see how much it makes! http://www.fka200.com/domain-parking
That is really good, i am trying out a few of my domains that i do not use and have a quite high CTR of about 5-10% but not many visitors so not making that much from it.
To be honest i think 1$/day s quite good for a parked domain. But is there any case study out there comparing sedo with others? I am new to domain parking. Is sedo known to pay little compared to others?
0%-150% are my CTRs. It all depends on how targeted it is, how well optimized the page is, where traffic is coming from, what user wants, etc. Someone looking to steal music isn't clicking buy music ads, someone trying to order a vacation package will click 'Cheap Tickets to Place They Were Looking For' or similar. All depends. Some people bad mouth sedo, I have parked a lot of companies, some domains do perform best there. Each domain performs differently at different PPCs if you want a relatively comprehensive list: www.ohashi.info/domain_parking has all relevant info about each parking co in terms of landers, rev share, etc.
I will leave it in sedo until i reach the payout, then i might try those. Thank you for the suggestions.
unless you have a very generic domain that pulls in untargeted traffic, 2 click landers are horrible. with a domain that brings in targeted traffic, go for one click landers that allow you to manually optimize the page. My daily CTR's vary from 0-110% on all of my domains.
2 click landers are pages that dont display ads on front page, only keywords. 1 click landers are pages with ads on the front page when you land. 2 click lander; http://www.wrestling.com/ 1 click lander http://www.candy.com/ (see straight ads on left)
I do better with revdirect. It may have something to do with Parked Yahoo feeds vs revdirects Google feeds. Google pays much higher per click for my parked domains. I know the one click lander made a huge difference in improving the ctr. Manual optimization also helped increase pageviews/clicks as well.
There is nothing that can be said it is normal, it depends on the content, topic visitors that come to your site and much more...
I kind of expected this to happen... Despite my number of visitors being stable, the click through ratio actually increasing in 40%, the payout decreased very much. I am getting like 40 cents now. WTF... I hate this strategy. It's always like that, once one signs up there is very high pay rates, after a while, when you're already a costumer they always drop like hell.
Yup, noticed a few companies seem to have this pattern, cough*sedo*cough. I had a domain do $16 in the first day, getting around $2 EPC and now its getting same traffic and clicks, but im getting around 15 cents :/
