Air Travel Names - PPC

[dndisplay]

Hi,

Till date my air travel names (around 60) were parked with xyz parking and were making around 25 - 50 cents (sometimes even 1 $) per click.

For last 5 days I'm seeing a huge downtrend in the earnings.
It's only around 5-8 cents per click.

Has anybody else noticed the same for the air travel names?

Any suggestions regarding that which is the best parking service for air travel names.

Thanks in advance.

Merry X'mas & Happy New Year.

Cheers,

DnDisplay

I'm seeing overall 80% decrease. Earlier I was averaging Euro 10 per day but since last five days it's around Euro 2.

Not sure why, But I have seen a decline as well

I have about 400 names there, and have seen a decline on many of them. Some have stayed consistent, while others have dropped off. If there is a trend, it is in the lesser trafficed names. My best names have been pretty steady. The ones with lesser traffic seem to be more volatile.

I have learned that it is best to be patient and not make a hasty decision. Sometimes the numbers do go back up (can't explain why).

It does take some time to learn where to park which type of name, but you can really learn a lot by reading here. There are several seasoned experts that post here - and if you take some time you can find some really good information.

I've got about hundred such domains at parked.com and they do fairly well.

those seem to be high earnings per click for air travel names - what are your keywords? I have a sight for an old airline in bulgaria and my keyword is "flights bulgaria", a lot of the searches are actually for luxury type travel, which would seemingly pay much more. Though I get a high CTR (about 21%), my average is a low 11 cents/click -especially in comparison the numbers I am hearing from everyone here. Its currently parked at namedrive

I've noticed that the European domains are different

I have a few EU domains that are very high traffic. One in particular, I purchased based on expected revenue, has thousands of links - is internet related - but is italian. The traffic is very high, but the EPC is much lower than what you would get here.

I also have some german insurance domains that are even have good type-in, but the payouts are pretty poor.

Overall, I don't get good performance from the international domains. In particular, the tools that we often use (overture bid tool, etc) simply do not apply to these domains.

IF you are purchasing expired domain names, do not use the same formulas for purchase price for foreign domains (i.e. your own rule of thumb for # of months anticipated revenue for payout). I purchased several in my first six months that would appear to be increduble - only to get payouts that will be tough to break even.

I have developed my only one airways.org.uk as mini site. Unfortunately the .org.uk is not a common type in extension so don't get much in the way of natural type in traffic.
