GoDaddy Cash Parking Product

[OlJohnnyBigGrin]

Hi folks,:wave:

New to the forum as a member & excited to be here. Have lurked and read for a little while now & this forum has been fantastic for my education about the whole business of domaining.

Thank you to everyone.:hearts:

Enough of the blah, blah, blah

Everyone seems to piss on Go Daddy's parking (& or not even acknowledge it among parking options).

What am I missing here? I realize this is a first post & I promise I'm not shilling for them. I've used (use) them for domains & hosting in the past without issue. In fact on the customer service/support side they've been fine to work with.

I've read on here (&elsewhere) they charge an account fee to use the service, have goofy payment options & pay +45 days month end (e.g. May clicks pay next week, July 15).

In my case, I'm not paying an extra fee to use the service. It is free with my registrations package. The payment is easy: they direct deposit (no minimum). The downside is the 45 day pay. Frankly in my case that's really not a big deal....I have about 25-40 domains I plan to park somewhere...I'm not counting on this to pay the gas bill...

So I guess this is a longwinded way of saying, what's the big thing that is obvious to you pros & completely lost on me? Are they cheating you on the clicks??

I've looked at like sedo & the parking page the comsumer sees, while a little aesthetically different, is the same: key word ads...

Thanks again

Godaddy cash parking is for domain torture. I dont see a reason why anybody need this service. On the other hand, sometimes I see superb domains with lots of traffic parked at Godaddy, I dont get it.

I mean this in the nicest sort of way, but that is not the helpful answer I was looking for.

I thought I was pretty clear in my question, what specifically makes you not like them?

That they are "doman torture" doesn't explain anything for me.

:talk:

it's resistance to the monopoly


of being a registrar and a ppc, ...while you're also trying to hold auctions too


there's an old saying, "don't put all your eggs in one basket"

and it particularly applies to gobbledaddy

as you'll hardly "ever never" see anyone selling names with traffic, that are parked at gd


but if that isn't a good enough answer, then you'll just have to find out the hard way




Good Luck!

Afaik, they only pay for the first click by a visitor. there CPC is generally crap also. I think the only reason people use them for parking is laziness or ignorance. If they start paying you any money on a domain they automatically ban the domain, because you must have been cheating somehow. Without any kind of proof or come-back by you. They have the poorest support of any parking company I know. I agree with the rest of the world, GoDaddy is the crappiest parking company out there.

A GoDaddy rep who phoned me to see if he could help with my account, agreed that their parking service wasn't worth using.
