discuss Anyone still making revenues via Parking?

[Arpit131]

Is anyone still making revenues via Parking or have you given up on it?

Which company would you suggest for .COM domains?

 

[urljunky]

I will get clicks on sedo and it will say .05. Then the next day I log in and it will say .00. same amount of clicks, but no money?

That is like $0.5 a name per month which is nothing. Even a click would render 5 times that price in old days.


Probably Sedo is minting money off the traffic too.


Wow that is huge. Did you move to developing your names post this?
When did it exactly decline?
Was the decline a slow process or came at one go?

No, I don't develop website. I let the parking domains dropped as long as the revenue it generated cannot cover its reg fee.
The decline of parking revenue happened in 2010 and It is a slow process. But at the same time many newcomers start to bidding expired domains with traffic since 2010.

There are still people making 4 figures per month in parking and also 5 figures too....
they just not write into these threads or maybe they are neither in namepros btw what people are are saying it's true: revenues went down a lot from the good old days so i would not recommend anyone to start parking nowadays.
for me: making mid XXX$ per month with less than 150 names

That's impressive!

I do like this question as the answer is if you park domains and do not make an income of any sort then your name may not have the calibre that you think. Where and how to monitize your domain depends on the name itself it usually isn't the system it is the name as others do well.

yes people still make a lot of money... 4-5 figures.. I know couple.

often those people own either very high quality expensive liquid names.. they regged or owned since way back... or they just know what they are doing finding new names to park.. or combo of both

personally I park few names and buy few parking names here and there... mostly for fun of it.. and learn a bit in process abotu parking...

for example, I own now around 40 names.. most bought from others.. for total of say 1k.
this gives me average of 80-100$ on bodis.. no optimizing. so say 1 year (ending soon) to get my money back.. then its bit of profit..

oddly, I recently had my biggest click ever... on a random domain not bought for parking from others.. there was three clicks $15 each.. so one name... made $45...

this won't be happening much for me.. but we take what we get in this business..

still it shows that it may be wise to park all yoru new regs/buys.. if for nothing else then to test them for a while..

though I too am of opinion like many others, that sale landers versus a tiny little banner (on bodis its at bottom after ads too, on mobile devices.. same for PC.. so thats even worse) with for sale message.. probably greatly increase your sale chances.... and at this stage of domaining world, domain sales should be more important to people than park revenue... to most of us that is.

I guess you make money from parking on heavily search domains. If your domain is keyword related.

 

[davidc1]

they just know what they are doing finding new names to park

exactly...

Surprised anyone makes any money with all the adblockers out there. I only ever see white pages for anyone with Sedo / Bodis / etc for their pages.

yep... its a problem for sure.. confirmed publically by bodis at least.. I guess one could say we'd be making more money if blockers were not around... but.. I think that part of audience with blockers is still pretty negligable... meaning that main culprit for lower park revenues today is not ad blockers..

cheers

Not only the adblocker. new generation of young people have the ability to auto bypass the ads even adblocker is not installed.

Anyway, Thanks for your screenshot.
Your earnings is 10 times more efficiency than me. Maybe I should try to parking my domains somewhere else

DS, 8k view , 478 click = $2.13+$3.13 Revenue

Sedo, Last 12 month, 72K view, 10K click = 152 EUR

well the good news is.. that sedo is confirmed by most as being the worst company around... when comes to revenue.

parking crew is good too.. but I prefer bodis for interface and support

Is voodoo still OK?

yes but for me bodis is better now

I have a domain with 200 UV per day, guess I should see what the PPC will be. Only way to know is to park it right?

i think you have some nice valuable names in your folio from what I saw in showcases etc.. so I think there is potential revenue there.. keep us posted

id go with bodis.. real simple to use and good payouts. good support too.

A couple of years back, when I owned Square foot (dotcom) I was getting $150 to $400 per mo in parking income.

Thanks for your suggestion. I will try it out and report back.

I had created my Bodis account back in 2007 but I never tryout their platform. I already forgot the password of my Bodis account so I just simple recover the password. I can login now but now it's telling me tier 1 ad provider suspended all service for your account because of failed to verify account within 10 day period. What the hack is that ? I never use bodis before and haven't add a single domain to it. Why the tier1 ad provider suspended me???

hmmm not sure.. u should contact support there.. doesn't sound like valid reason to suspend tier1... normally they suspend when there is click fraud or something.

unless back in 2007... those were the rules... account verify or tier1 suspend. sounds odd to me though.

I just checked my e-mail and confirmed that what they did was a little bit crazy back in 2007.
They suspended my account twice within 3 days back in NOV 2007 but I haven't add any domains to their platform.

The first suspended reason was inactive
The second suspended reason was Upstream providers pushing them to keep only high-quality traffic. No domain = No traffic = banned

Anyway, many things has changed from time to time and now it seems Bodis has become one of the best parking platform.
