Parking Versus Mini Sites - Page 4

advaita · 08-03-2008, 09:28 AM

Billy - Your skipark site looks good, well done on the revenues - just a question re. BANS - what's to stop someone getting the software from someone else on a CD and using it without going through BANS ?

Also re. your Wordpress blog - I have heard that it is better to change the settings so that the address of the post in the address bar actually shows the name of the post rather than just a number e.g. your post address ends in '16' but if you go to 'settings' - 'permalinks' - then choose 'custom structure' and type in
/%postname%/ - you get a more meaningful post address which is supposed to increase the number of readers

Mini sites are of course better than parked pages, but content-rich sites that you're truly dedicated too will make you the most money in the long run.

I have stopped and removed most of my domains from parking & for sale listings!!!
Afternic, Sedo, TDNam, Parked, Cashparking etc...

I am just concentrating on building websites !
Undoubtly, websites and not domains, is a long term solution!

I think it all depends on the quality/type and traffic of the domain.

For low/average quality names then development would probably be a far better earner than parking.

I took a spanky new .eu (that someone here said was crap) and did a naff looking 3 page minisite with 5 affiliate links on the main page.

It made over 2k the first year when it stayed number 1 in MSN, it does'nt do as good now because it does'nt rank well in any of the search engines but it still brought in $91 last month. it needs maybe 1 hr a year maintenance if that.

If parked it would'nt make anywhere near the reg fee in a year, i'm pretty sure of that as I also own the exact same name in .info and 2 similar ones in .net (NameAdmin owns the .com

)

here's what they made in PPC

.info has earned €0.82 in 30 months

.net has earned nothing at all in 11 months

...one day I will get around to developing the other three

easier said than done !

...it sure ain't pretty

> here (I don't want to post the domain)

I just got an email today from the online marketing executive of one of the actual ferry companies

"It would be great to hear if there are other ways in which we could work together."

..hmmm, I'll need to think about that one but sounds interesting

Yup, the key is building content. Nothing beats content on the web. I got some type in traffic about once a week from a couple of my sites; but I have slightly more than 200 out and parked. I'm working out a deal with a friend of mine to help build out some sites for my top names and see what happens. Thank god I play golf with him, so it shouldn't be too expensive...I hope.
