Alternative Revenue Ideas to Traditional Domain Parking

We've seen a lot of people write about changes with parking companies and their feed providers lately. Many domain owners have seen and written about the decrease in Revenue Per Click= RPC and wildly fluctuating RPC they get through parking companies.

The parking companies I've talked to don't deny paying lower Revenue Per Click but say there are many variables that effect the RPC. One told me straight up, at this time he can not pay the same RPC he once did.

Even with these decreases, Is there really a better alternative to earn revenue from our domain names than parking?

The alternatives I can think of are:

1. Pay Per Action on your blog or web page.

2. Adsense type ads on your blog or web page.

3. Affiliate ads on your blog or web page.

4. Then you have companies similar to DomainEmbarking which evolve landers/sites from keywords you enter.

With no web building experience, I'm quite limited to alternatives I can be successful at without involving another person for assistance.

What I've decided to do is start out by getting some blogs going, "See my sig below for examples" place some original content and adsense ads up, up-date and ad content regularly and find some nice affiliate ads.

Adsense for me so far is very stable with the RPC, not seeing much fluctuation at all over the last 5 days and averaging about $1.80 per click.

Share your experiences and Let's get some more ideas going on how to earn from our domains.

Hi all, for affiliates, some of the best money i have made is with www.shoppingads.com (auctionads.com)

US$35 for a single click and the first payment for any affiliate program i have been with.

Adsense took me 6 months to get my first cheque (paypal) then its $100 every 2 months or so.

i think i have tried all but one or 2 parking programs. sedo works for me with the majority of domains i own. but im still looking of course.

the best (for me) is...Selling a service, or something your truly good.
I make over $300 for about 30 min work, just doing my niche. and doing it well.

I know it isnt much to go on, but you can do it! we are all doing it right now!

Nice ideas. I think one of the best ways is to hire people to write original content and make a minisite, with adsense on it.

HI,
Am confused that why I can not get an account at AA ?

Miserable!

I've been using Parked and AA for parking because I can add original content on those parked pages. Just look at DryRubSeasoning, ChickenGrilled or BounceAbility. All are dot coms.

Since I started adding original content my visits are up and so is my ppc. One of my domains parked at AA made $56 in March. Another at Parked made $21. Not bad for three word domains. The original content made the difference.

Tier1 direct access

We are open for a limited numbers of new publishers to enroll in our program.
We offer Tier1 feed and we allow a certain amount of click arb.

CPCs are higher than avg feed providers as we have direct access.

LMK if interested and I'll give you more details.

There seems to be a lot of discussion around mini sites, original content, alternatives to domain parking and adsenese, etc. I park my domains all of the place as no one company has a solution that works best. For trademark names I use Domain Sponsors using a redirect (and sometimes cloaking). For mini sites you can use the previously mentioned whypark.com, evolanding.com, the previously mentioned domainembarking.com and epinetwork.com. Each company has a slightly different spin on what they offer but all can get you going in the right direction for a mini site. Personally I've found that mini sites are the way to go, with custom images, content and a nice ad layout you can beat Googles quality scores and send tons of Google Content traffic to your domain. Most of this has already been discussed but I still wanted to chime in.

I've tried domainembarking and whypark

and whypark is much better, imo. Granted it costs $100 one time fee, but the sites and the content are much more professional.

I didn't make squat after 45 days at Domain Embarking with CampusVitals.com but I've more than covered my yearly domain costs with it on Whypark in a week!

My first whypark site is in my signature if you want to see an example. If you like what you see and think it might be for you, a sign up from my homepage at the bottom would be appreciated!

Peace!

I also like whypark. It makes the sites look alot better than just parking. Plus you can also customize them. My whypark sites are in my sig if anyone wants to check them out.

I've developed my own parking site if anybody is interested in giving it a go. It's still a little prototypish, but I've been using it myself for over 4 months.

The only requirement is you have your own google adsense account (and some domains of course). You can cancel at any time and still keep your revenue (as it's on your adsense id).

Any comments or feedback would be appreciated.

The site is www.domainmeadow.com

I've been with whypark for about 1 year now, and I like it so much, most of my whypark sites get indexed by google within 1st week, however lately I find it a lil bit trouble some, the host start to get up and down every now and then, heard that whypark is being updated but still it's annoying.

in general, I like it and would recommend it to anyone interested trying a new method other than parking site.

This is a nice new type of lander I've been seeing

YourSettlementsInfo dot com

Does anyone have any info on if this a parking company or if it is a site with a feed?

Looks just like what I've been wanting and a fantastic alternative to the parking landers I've been seeing and using.

It's hosted on GoDaddy, so it's probably not parked.
