Best Parking Page Example

[Badger]

Although i generally hate these "whats your favorite/best etc" threads, im gonna start one nonetheless....

What do you think are the best examples of parking pages youve seen?? - please post example pages...

Obviously I ve seen a lot in my quest but the two that spring to mind for me are the individually tailored pages made for big traffic domains:

www.IRS.com - produced by parkingdots
http://www.directoryenquiries.co.uk/directory+enquiries.htm - produced by shopping.com

Thx Dana...

Interesting to see fabulous has pictures for all occasions it seems. And fed by the AFD program.

Clean layout

You can view our entire graphic library here. We have close to 300 category headers available and are contstantly adding to this.

We also offer custom sites for premium generic .com domains with a high volume of natural type in traffic. Some portals we have developed include:

racing.com
skate.com
bling.com
reptiles.com
kids.com

If anyone has domains they would like considered for a custom implementation, feel free to contact me.

Cheers,

Mike

Looks good Ian. It's nice and clean and my eyes were drawn to the ads section which should help CTR.

This is a clean page. I know, it's not a parking page.
But it really looks effective.

RealEstate.net

So I'm a little confused Ian, are you changing the format
of the news pages as well, or is this an additional feature?

Also the Pakistan dot com is an outstanding design.

If you think NameDrive is the only one pushing ahead you need to check out others. Plenty of private/personal parking blow nd out of the water.

I was just saying that it is the only one I use that I think is pushing ahead, right now I am just using ND, Fabulous, and Sedo for parking...

I just created an account at 1plus.net though and I plan on giving that a go for some domains.

What types of domains seem to perform the best there? And do they use PayPal as the payment method?

Thanks!

is this an additional feature?

Our vision is to create a one stop domain parking site...

If users want clean parking pages with only high paying sponsored links then their wish is our command.. This is what this thread is all about, we are looking for the best parking pages so that we can emulate and improve..

siteparker.com has a few interesting pages, albeit a little different. i've only seen a few of mine so far, like akfoods.com.

If they had a content-related tower banner on the right, it would be great.

One other thing I noticed: There seem to be small, random kanoodle ads that appear about midway in the main page, usually in the third ad...the pop-under page defaults to a main page of the kanoodle ad when the main page is clicked out of.

Edit: www.kingsmont.com is nice. Don't know who provides it, though.

I am really impressed with this first draft, Badger. It really looks nice. You are raising the bar and good work!

Thats a nice clean looking page Badger

I think alot of the parking pages could do far better with search engines than they seem to - This is one area that definetly needs improving in general.

Options to customize page titles, add meta tags and descriptions would be a nice help IMO

Pakistan

The Pakistan page I think, is Dotzup

Not to highjack the thread but, for me it comes down to results. That alone can render the aesthetics of the page irrelevant. The web can have smart users and not so smart users and they are all drawn to click on different styles. So although I do agree with the comments of commandercody, I think it comes down to content, keywords, and the domain name.

To return closer to topic, I love the mini-site approach of 1Plus because it seems to keep search engines interested which generally contributes to traffic and clicks. What I would like to see changed is:
The ability to control the pictures that appear on the News page (unless I'm missing it).
A little more dressed up, polished design (like the newer Namedrive templates).
More templates.
Some user documentation.

After trying Sedo, Namedrive and 1Plus, I've experienced better results with 1Plus and Adsense. For those sites that don't work well with the mini-site approach, I park them on Namedrive.

Badger- I think you are on the right track with CONTENT if you just add some polish, which is what I interpret this thread to encompass. To answer your question in short, "the new Namedrive templates".
