Is parking dead?

mpls · Jul 6, 2017

Hi guys, in your opinion, is parking dead?

Look at my last month screenshot, there are a lot of days with clicks and $ 0 revenue. 3 clicks and $ 0.01....

My stats:
CTR: 1.5% (LOL)
RPC: $ 0.01 (LOL! But only when I'm lucky! Otherwise 3 clicks $ 0!)
RPM: $ 0.11 (Seriously??? 1k user to earn $ 0.11? $ 0.11??)
Last month earning: $ 0.09 (LOL!!!!) .

I suppose I'll move away all my domain from parking companies and redirect them to sedo/uniregistry/afternic landing page.

This situation does not make sense.

Never had much luck with parking. New experiment today. Just temporary direct the domain to a page or affiliate link.
Example:
CredifFund.info directs to a page built in a minute with google drive
Artifintell.com directs to an affiliate link.

Anything to get a little exposure can not hurt I believe.

do you think you could make more on that mistype domain if you just replaced the parking with an affiliate link to the travel site? or all the travel sites in germany?

it's possible to earn as much or more, depending on the name

i redirected a typo to home page of the intended site

and the url included my aff-code

it performed so well.... that i ended up getting a phone call from a link a share, rep.

they, wanted to know, wtf i was doing to get such high conversion rates.

and then a few weeks later, mark the monitor was letter writing.

imo....

I only have a few domains parked. Of those only 3 or 4 get any traffic and in the last 30 days it looks like this...

Visitors - 728
Clicks - 152
CTR - 20.88%
Revenue - $9.91

I'm guessing this isn't very good although I have no clue what I'm doing and therefore have done nothing other than park with default settings.

Where do you park your domains

That is rather ironic. I checked them out and listed a few domains today with them. I like their easy interface for adding keywords in different languages.

Yeah it's extremely easy to use. I should try out some others but I don't have enough domains to make it worth while really. I can say that Sedo were nowhere near as good though.

You must have registered this years ago. During the great 10 cent US sale I registered every typo possible in the zone file and lets just say some of them have barely made registration fee. The autofill browsers have pretty much wiped out the typo market. Minus some international markets.

Uniregistry for the high CPC Keywords.

biggie · Jul 24, 2017

got a $9 click last week @ PC:

blankblankstaffing com 1 1 100.00% $ 9.49 $ 9,490.00 $ 9.49

and on 22nd, got two $7 clicks

blankblankblankcard com 11 2 18.18% $ 7.60 $ 1,380.91 $ 15.19

parking ain't dead, just not what it's used to be

imo....

i substituted "blank blank" for the actual words in the domains, to stifle typo registrations.

Guys the candid camera continues.
Last days: 9 clicks (NINE).
Earnings : $ 0.00

This is crazy.
I've not any other words.

There is a big big difference between earn few cents/bucks and earn 0.00 (Zero)

Does anyone have a alternative for parking? I still have some old traffic domains left over from years ago. Getting tired of paying reg fees with no income.
thanks for your time

How can you apply sedo pro? I remember that in the past there was a minimum amount in revenues to join. If my memory is not wrong I think it was nothing so big, like 200$ per month

You can do better:

Compared to what it was, it is very close to dead.

However, if you never knew about the past, you might say "that's not a totally unfair yield".

It's a question of what the opportunity cost (if any) is for running parking pages, versus full "for sale" landers. I have to admit the best sale I had this year came from a parked page.

Is parking dead?
