GoDaddy new monetization?

[b00mhauer]

Curious if anyone is seeing improved parking performance with the new parking pages that godaddy is using? A lot of them go to the searchhounds.com site. I see some discussion on what this is on this url- https://www.bradymoritz.com/searchhounds-com-and-the-new-domain-parking-model/

I'm also curious to hear how this is performing.

Anyone mind sharing?

I wonder if the RSOC monetisation needs to be activated somehow. I have a cash parking account at Godaddy. But domains in the account still show old AFD landers (with no ads of course).

I remember that last year I noticed some of my domains parked with GoDaddy CashParking were being forwarded to searchhounds.com. At that time, I was using an external domain setup with GoDaddy DNS hosting rather than pointing the domains directly to the CashParking nameservers. Unfortunately, I was unable to track this properly because the statistics on the dashboard have not been updated to this day.

Here's what I found about this "AI slop hound" by GoDaddy, two months ago.

I know, I know. Many of you warned me about GoDaddy CashParking and told me to stay away. I was stubborn and wanted to try it myself. Now I'm eating humble pie and asking for help.

I have 2791 domains parked with GoDaddy CashParking since January 2026. My dashboard is currently showing only 6 Received Traffic records across the entire portfolio. That is not a typo. Six, for nearly 2800 domains over several months.

I have emailed their support multiple times and the replies have been useless. No real explanation, no escalation, nothing helpful. I am starting to wonder if:

1. The traffic tracking is broken or suppressed
2. Something is misconfigured on their end
3. Or this is simply how GoDaddy CashParking operates and the platform is essentially dead

To anyone who has been through this, I would really appreciate your input..

• Did you experience the same thing?
• Which parking platform did you move to after leaving GoDaddy?
• Is there any escalation path with GoDaddy beyond their standard email support?

I should have listened. But at this point I just want to understand what is happening and figure out my next move. Any advice is welcome. See the attached screenshot for details.

IF You look on history posts godaddy/afternic never been good on parking (they good only in marketing just my opinion). They have 5 years bugs that never fixed so You shouldn't expect much. Tried 500 domains with traffic around 50k month and just few cents so I not think that worth waste that time.

A few days after I posted here, there’s been a slight update to the stats, but it's still far from the expected traffic numbers. It looks like the stats for the domain names I parked and listed have been credited to someone else’s account.

And honestly, how am I supposed to track visitors or figure out which domains are actually getting buyer interest if things keep going this way? Might be time to start looking at other parking and marketplace options.

All normal parking companies giving api to track stats but no godaddy

Is GoDaddy’s new monetization model worth it? Can anyone share their experience, stats, and sample revenue?

After Afternic switched to Yahoo ads last month, a lot of domain parking revenue suddenly dropped to 0. The strange thing is the traffic is still there and visits are still being counted, but earnings completely collapsed compared to the old Google AFD system. Is Afternic having technical problems with the Yahoo feed, or is something else happening behind the scenes with parking payouts?

I do not get payment's for last 2 months so can't say much, stats are old, for last 10 years godaddy do not even have payout panels with payments that they send to You, so You can't expect much from them.
