Anybody use DomainSponsor ?

[advaita]

I have looked but can't find a thread on DomainSponsor - does anybody here use them for parking their domain names - are they any good ?

We have used them since early 2006.
The options to customize are getting better and we receive a steady stream of inquiries through the sales options.
Payout is reasonable.

I've used/use them. You need a lot of traffic for a domain to auto-optimize and manual optimization isn't the best. Some domains do well there, but for the bulk of my portfolio, I prefer Parked.

Well I just applied to DomainSponsor and my application was 'denied' - unfortunately they didn't give any reason why.

DS hasn't kept up with the industry IMH. There are at least 6 better options.....

 

[advaita]

What are the 6 better options ? And would they let me in ? I'm mainly with Parked and ND at the moment and the stats aren't good.

 

[weblord]

not yet, im still considering it, im using sedo, do they have requirements in terms of number of domains to park?

Never used them, heard a bit about them last year and somehow also can't find them either, I will go with more reliable parking site. Ones that gives you a response.

It is possible that they require 200 names - I couldn;t find a FAQ on their site - I told them I had 100 names but they weren't interested

I don't think it's a great loss being denied by DomainSponsor.

I gave them a shot again this year after not using them for a long time and the payouts were horrible compared to other places.

Thanks for the info. - some people seem to find DS pay quite well - but all in all it looks like I'm just as well staying where I am

1. SedoPro
2. Trafficz
3. Dotzup (only quality traffic)
4. Revenue Direct
5. Evo landing
6. Fabulous (great RPC for poker and financial names)
7. PPC-Sites (if you have an adsense account)

not yet, im still considering it, im using sedo, do they have requirements in terms of number of domains to park?

Check my sig

I nevered used them personally... I prefer sedo... or small google ad pages..

However i did hear that they have some decent payouts

 

[advaita]

Thanks for all the info people - I am looking at Evo Landing and PPC as I don't think the others will accept my names (I've got a lot of .in)

I like Parked.com the best of all the domain parking Co's - and they accept Indian domains.

However, from what Donny at Parked says, and others, Indian traffic is hard to monetize currently. Usually payouts are .01 to .02 usually. Still, for my foreign traffic, I have not been able to find anyone that pays better than Parked, and that includes Sedo or Sedo Pro. Sedo would be number two choice if I had to park somewhere else for foreign traffic.

DomainSponsor is paying really bad on foreign for me.

I've got quite a few .in with Parked but the visitors and clicks are pretty much non-existent but that is true of Bodis and ND too. I think I'll give PPC a try (with a .com) to see how good/bad/idifferent it is.
