where r u parking?

I'm parking smartname

smartname is good

 

I tried sedo but havent really made any money using them

 

Try whypark. I've done better with them than Sedo, but Sedo has been my favorite traditional parking service to-date. I have not tried Smartname. I've gone to creating content sites with pure Adsense and affiliates, but if you're just parking....

The quick summary is:

Whypark:
- Uses your Adsense account and you take 100% of the ad cut
- Auto-populated related content (articles) on the landing page, based on your specified keywords. I actually get people clicking through the content sometimes. That doesn't happen on parking pages - no content.
- One time upfront fee, but you recoup it quickly in increased revenue assuming you have a decent # of domains

Sedo (or traditional parking):
- Get undisclosed cut of the ad revenue take - you lose probably at least 30% if not 40% or 50%.
- Ads-only no content.
- But No upfront fee

My RPM tripled when I moved particular domains from Sedo to WhyPark.

Disclosure: link below has affiliate tracking, but it has more detail than above:

sedo + bodis + namedrive

 

I have used Sedo to park my domains, but they have their hands DEEP in the cookie jar. I use Parked now and make more money in 1 day of parking at Parked, than an entire year of parking with Sedo.

PLUS, the domain options are much better...better templates, MORE templates, better optimization, all around better quality.

Frankly, I'm not even sure what the big deal is with Sedo. I hear all kinds of talk, but I've NEVER seen any real revenue.

 

Well, Sedo is more of a domain marketplace these days. Their parking pages are also outdated. Most domainers park their names elsewhere and put it on sale at sedo.

Two questions:

1) does it cost to park domains at PARKED?
2) if question 1 is "NO" have you got a link for them?

 

parked.com is the site link. It is free to signup but they have certain traffic quality guidlines set up.

parked.com and sedo.

 

ParkingPanel has been the best for me, especially for adult names. Sedo suck.

 

I add an other voice to parked.com. After trying all major Parking services. I can tell the only one I found with features you cannot get anywhere else (please correct me if I'm wrong) such as editing titles, add your content, add meta tags, and description, and your own content with video, flash movies, images and links is Parked.com
A domain name can't make you money unless it's SEO friendly or a one english word.com
Joining Parked is not automatic, you will need to add at least 10 domains when you subscribe. Please use my link and I will give you 5% affiliate sharing from the 10% I get for referring you.
Let me know when join and contact me if they don't accept your application.
Good luck

 

I have had a few domains parked at GoDaddy in the past and have been satisfied with their service. Although I did not monetize my parked pages, you can with GoDaddy.

 

Namedrive....but want to test Bodis

 

Godaddy is a real crap. I still have few domains with them...just waiting to make the $15 cancellation fee out of them. And by the way you would have to pay a monthly fee...stay away.
I never read the small prints...now I do thanks to godaddy!

 

I park at rev direct. No minimum number of domains or minimum traffic restrictions. Higher paying revenue per click then others I have used. Also rev direct pays twice monthly by PayPal. See my signature.

 

If you have traffic from the US only parked.com is by far the best. If you have international traffic go to Namedrive.

If you have a mix then mix at both companies. That is what I do at it works very well.

Hope this helps.

I also use GoDaddy. Its the only one i've really ever used but their service is defiantly top notch.

 

You're kidding me!!! We are talking about parking here not domain register.
I use godaddy to register my domains...I agree they have great features but with regards to parking...they are the worst I've experienced so far. By the way is there any other company that you need to pay them a monthly fee in order to send your valuable domain traffic to their googleadsense?!! Not only that. which comapany out there that would hit you with a $15 cancellation fee if you don't like their service?
They even charge you a fine per every single domain you have parked with them if they think your traffic or clicks were not legitimate at least for one domain! isn't that disgusting?

 

parked.com - just started using, easy to setup. I like the stats.

1plus.net - hard to configure a lot of sites. NO statistics. Need analytics.

sedo - didn't like pages. slow

namedrive - the site was dead when i firsrt tried to setup. never went back.

 

I use SEDO, but after a year of not making a cent, I will try parked.com, since you guys recommend it so much.
