NamePros.Com - View Single Post - An intro to domain name investing

Thanks for the excellent advice.

I have just started buying domains for about a month. I have 40 now - all parked. I will now be much more careful and calculated in buying domains after reading this thread amongst others on Namepros.

I will probably develop a couple of domains with a view to getting adwords on them. Can you recommend a host? I have heard of a couple of free hosting services.

I also have a couple of questions:

How can i make a judgment on whether my parked domains are getting better than average revenue? Is there anywhere to make comparisons of the clicks/PPC/RPM of sold domains?
My average is:
TotalViews - 214
TotalClicks - 30
CTR - 14.02%
AveragePPC - £ 0.14
RPM - £ 20.03

Also how much traffic is generated to a .com from people just typing words into the address bar of a browser and why do the browsers always by default take you to the .com name? Why not the local tld? (when a UK user types londonhotels the browser takes him to londonhotels.com not londonhotels.co.uk). Do you think browsers in the future do the same?

I will still continue to read Namepros to find answers, but I might as well ask too.

Thanks in advance,

Adam.
