Domain Parking Keyword Optimization Basic Tips

[netPH]

For those who are wondering how to optimize domain parking keywords, consider these simple tips;

Know your domain's traffic source and quality - by hosting the domains on your own server with traffic analyzer like Awstats. This feature is very common to cPanel. From there you will know geolocation and searched terms of your domains visitors. Use the searched terms as basis for your lander keywords. Know your visits geolocation so you''ll know what language to use for keywords and to what parking program will best monetize a foriegn traffic, for non-US.

Keyword Discovery - know what people are really searching that are related to your domain names. Get the top 15 highest searched kw and use them for the lander. It benefits users because you provide them with what they're searching that will result to a high probability for maximum CTR. KeywordDiscovery is also a good alternative for Overture keyword tool (OVT, now that's no longer working). It wouldn't show same result as OVT was providing us but it can be of help do determine rough estimate of domain with extension type-in numbers.

Adwords Keyword Tool - know how much advertisers are paying for particular keywords that are related to your domain name. Get the top paying, most searched that are synonymous to your traffic searches. Use this as "guide" to project possible revenue.

For expired domain traffic, use Google and Archive.org's Wayback machine for background and/or historical research.

Domain parking keyword optimization is be easy for everyone by using these basic methods and tools. This is also really helpful for other web marketing campaigns and SEO.

These simple process is very common to most parkers but can be of help to those who are learning and new.


I hope this helps and good luck.

Have you noticed a big difference since adding contact links to your Parked sites? How much lower percentage wise are your CPC's?

I read a study about this (sorry, don`t know where) what was very clear.
The result was that it had no better results with contact/about/privacy policy links onpage because there are to much advertisers where don`t know that. SEM is not the same like SEO and the "secrets for the professionals". SEM has the goal to be available also for non-pro advertisers.

About what I am not sure is how "domain for sold" links/text take effect.
Does anybody know more about that?

hiya,
i hope this hasn't been covered, but when setting up minisites for 'DIY parking' (with content etc.) - anyone found a way to get yahoo, google or other click ads that say "sponsored listings", like the parked, namedrive etc. all have?
i'm trying to avoid the "ads by google" and "ads by yahoo" tags - "sponsored listings" instead goes nicely under the radar. :hehe:
or is that something kept for the big customers - "adsense for demains" and all?

hi from oz.
This is all very interesting as although a newbie i have a few domains parked at pp and parked. I have made many mistakes and have domains which i thought were great but seem to be pretty poor. I am not sure if it is because of me using low traffic keywords or simply because the domain itself is useless. Knowing what the available tools are for optimizing and how to use them is a never ending challenge.

I think that there is a great job opportunity for someone with the right experience to research, advise and tweak parked names for customers. I certainly would be interested, especially since i am in the bush and my little pc is on dialup of 28kbps and takes half an hour to load a page which by that time i've forgotten why i went there.

Sorry if this is a little away from the good advice. Just been thinking about this for a while.

Q: What is the fastest way to get google to re-index your domain?

A: Park it and start getting a boatload of clicks.


You will be re-indexed within 2 days max, and bye-bye traffic. They are getting really aggressive now.

I presume you mean de-index = out of google-index... re-index would be the opposite...

No, I meant re-index.

They will come back and re-index your site which will be a parked page, rankings drop and search traffic stops. Parked pages are not kicked out of Google's index, they just get extremely low rankings.

I tested this a few times with an extremely popular minisite of mine. With the minisite, it gets piles of search traffic. Park it and it gets piles of clicks for about 2 days, then it is re-indexed by google and traffic nearly stops. Checking with the site:domain.com search, it can be seen that the domain is clearly still in the index and what is indexed is the parking page.

Is Digital point is much better than wordtracker to find the keywords?

Silly question: When putting your keywords into the space provided in Sedo after having looked at keyworddiscovery, do you put the different results from keyworddiscovery in quotes or separate?

I.E. Results- Sparta, this is sparta, ancient city of sparta... Would I put "Sparta" "this is sparta" "ancient city of sparta" in my keyword area, or would I put sparta this is sparta anciety city of sparta.

Sorry if this is confusing... Just trying to learn!

 

[xlb57]

Any help with my (probably quite silly) question? I will be your biggest fan!

 

[Kenny]

separate phrases with commas.
sparta, this is sparta, anciety city of sparta, etc....

You rock my world. That is all. Thank you.

EDIT: Wait! After I do that and "save changes" it goes back to all of the words/phrases simply separated by spaces... What gives?

 

[xlb57]
