GoDaddy's Parking Program

[Ronald Regging]

Anyone see this? I saw they have their parking program available as a new option. Anyone here planning to pay for parking? I can't see where they get the nerve to charge for a parking program when they are benefitting from the traffic your domain brings... And the fact that every other parking site doesn't charge... I don't know, some people are just stupid.

Wild West (an associate/affiliate of GoDaddy) has a form of PPC parking, but it's only for resellers. No charge, but no decent control panel or reports...Problem is the actual owners don't get any of the PPC unless they are resellers. I'm told they have plans to eventually have PPC for all owners. Click pay is sometimes very high, but no way of knowing the domains clicked yet; they are just lumped together. Have had several $3 - $10 clicks, but quite a few $0.00. Their page looks similar to GoDaddy, of course, and is nothing to write home about. The overall control panel is very good--many, many features, and changes happen very fast. A little awkward to buy domains sometimes because of too many extra offerings along the way, but not bad when immediate checkout is used. .com = $7.85.

3(ish) day update; I'm not sure exactly what time frame is reported, but no matter what, the revenue is down to date (Excluding the above RXS.us that many of you all apparently clicked, as the CTR was 60% ).
Impressions/Views are similar to Sedo and private label, and CTR is similar (Although slightly higher at GoDaddy), but the revenue is much lower for me. Even if I had paid the premium to get the higher % share, I'd be down.
However, this is not enough evidence (As G's thread alludes to) to suggest that all would not benefit from GoDaddy's paid parking program, or that it is "bad", it's just not working as well so far for me.
That's all,
