5 Domain Parking comparison

[davidc1]

Hi All,

I'm earning about $3K per month for the moment, only using sedo and parkingcrew, i decided to run a test to optimize my revenues with 5 parking services:
- sedo
- parkingcrew
- bodis
- domainsponsor
- voodoo

It's seems that there is big differences in term of revenues from one service to another.
The test is running for a few days.

By the end of the test (in a few weeks) let's see how many domains will be on each services to be revenue optimized.

If you are interested by this thread and/or have questions, do not hesitate to post or contact me.

David.

do you ever get asked by people how yo make 3k per month?
if so, what do you tell them?

 

[davidc1]

3k per month on parking only

 

[frank-germany]

As the germans use to say:

Paper is patient

 

[davidc1]

I dont refer to that chart, I refer to my own script, my domains are not on above...

 

[alcy]

unless you have a high traffic domain
rotating of parking services most likely will
make you lose money
for many month

there are 3 mayor players
and they all have more or less the same
monetising feed : google

voodoo uses yahoo/msn as far as I know

talk to your sedo accountant
they have 2 levels of parking monetisation
( ask for the pro version and more money)

the realy question is not
where to make the most money from parking
( unless you make then $500 / month )
but where do you get the best return of your investment
when it comes to sales

I mostly use parkingcrew as it has the best user interface
some domains do better in terms of parking on other platforms

At Parkingcrew
I connect parking with my own contact form
that gives me a 100% return + VAT when I sell a domain

on sedo that would be about 60%
in case of VAT

for $1.000 Euro offered
I would get paid
about 800 Euro at sedo
and 1190 at my private sale

thats a 390 Euro difference

Those accumulates to much more extra money
then a few bucks more or less in parking revenue

----
unless you have domains for parking
that are not sellable

true.
most domainers shouldn't even bother to worry about parkign revenue. they get peanuts for their domain when parked. so switching parking companies is not even a question most should ask themselves. those who make good parkign revenue are exceptions.

FRANK: if you like parking crew and sale lander, and are not concerned with parking revenue but sales.. then u should check bodis. it is million times better for people who want coenctrate on sales. it allows you auto redirect to your own contact form (no need to go through park page).. has better stats.. or even a nice sale lander form bodis, simple contact form, if you do not want to bother yuor own contact page. chck it out if u never had. I tried both and bodis is way easier to use, and better.

 

[davidc1]

well -no offence intended- but, judging from your answer, I'm not sure your results are accurate.

In the past I also attempted to compare platforms and it took a rather complicated formula to even achieve rather 'rough' results (ie. as close to reality as possible but not really 'there').

I had taken the normalised traffic from above.com and picked domains that satisfied certain requirements of traffic, rpm and earnings. I then assigned points per domain per service depending upon performance.

If I hadn't used above.com's normalised traffic I wouldn't be able to achieve anything.

note that we use normalised traffic for one reason only: all parking platforms consider real traffic in completely different ways. There is no other way around it afaik.

Due to your post, i decided to change the comparison I show you here.

I'm starting a new comparison based on revenue only. I will change randomly all parking companies on all the domain of the study every 10 minutes, after a few days i will have enough data to know which domain must be on which parking company to optimize my revenues.
I will have to make this optimisation maybe once a month.

Do you think it could be good ?

 

[frank-germany]

with bodis u can bypass parked page and go direct to sale lander.. or for you i guess it would be dierctly to your sale site. even if yuo bypass parked page on bodis, u still get to retain the nice stats on people whjo visit through bodis... like how mny visits a day.. which domains visited etc..

I don't think parking crew lets you go directly to url and bypass parked page.

I prefer directly. but to each his own.

here is example of bodis on redirect to sale lander (this is bodis sale lander, not my own.. but u can also redirect to your own url/site/landeR).. this is for makeoffer setting:

www.vrjoke.com

unlike parking cerw, bodis also lets you change this makeoffer lander to buynow using escrow account u associate with bodis. so u can setup buynow prices for each domain using escrow.. on bodis..

here is example of escrow buynow on bodis:

www.appcrypt.com

thank you alcy for your detailed explainations,
but if I wanted a link to my sales page I wouldn't need a parking company to do for me
same is true for direct escrow links

true
neither would i.. however linking through bodis gives me nice stats for visitors etc... so its main reason i am there
plus the lander is not so bad either

all in all its the simplest way to link to lander I know of. plus the stats!


cheers

I do not have such high earning names. But, my earnings are almost increased by 40-50 times after moving from Sedo to DNS.

 

[mirul]

I'm earning about $3K per month for the moment, only using sedo and parkingcrew.

Wowww, how many domains?

 

[davidc1]

whaoouu that's a lot ! I applied last week to DNS but i dont have any answer for the moment.

 

[nvdomains]

Parking names at Sedo is a sin for me. I did not expect experienced domainers park domains at Sedo.

Big advantage of DNS is data. minus is silly inquiries.

 

[Gabriel Kawa]

I'm watching this thread for sure.

 

[frank-germany]

I bet you will lose money running this test

I am very interested as I do so for long time

parking income has gone down since then

Do you mean you make 3k per month on parking only or including domain sales? If you make this much just on parking that is quite remarkable. I guess then you must have a large portfolio of names with lots of backlinks and high cpc.

 

[bytedo]

Depends on the context. Here the OP is talking about making 3k on sedo and parkingcrew per month. Which led to the question as to whether this amount is solely on parking alone or include name sales.
So to answer your question , no I never got asked how I make 3k per month. if I said I make 3k a month and someone asked me how I would tell them if its through parking only or a combination of both. I may then expand and say I make the money because I have good names with lots of backlinks and decent cpc. Its all about context @alcy.

I assume you are answering a question that was not addressed to you for similar reasons you are confusing contexts and mixing up sales and park revenues.

and not because bytedo=davidc1

 

[bytedo]

Hey @alcy slow it down a little its Sunday morning here ah. . I could have sworn that question was addressed to me. As for mixing up contexts and park revenues I dont know about that. All I was just asking was the OP saying the 3k is parking revenue or include names sale. Just looking for insights.

this question could never have been asked to you because you are not the one here claiming to make 3k. unless, again, you are also davidc1. but thank you for the effort anyway.

and I hope you are all clear about contexts now too.. on this slow sunday morning

cheers
