Help us decide please- Fabulous, Sedo or Parked?

[PacificOctane]

Hello all. I've had a browse around and have been reading about parking to monetise domains for quite awhile. I'm very proud to be a part of this website and associate our company with others from around the World. We are a new startup company, however, lurking as most would call it, has already proven to be successful with our initial portfolio. I have been gaining an education by watching and reading. Now I'm ready to start interacting.

I would like the great members here to make me want to do business with one of these companies because you are passionate about their service and the money that you make from them, not because you'll receive your ref com by clicking a link.

I did a case study on the service of Parked.com and I have to say that I was very less than impressed. I did it with 200 names that had maybe 5 good ones in the bunch just to test the quality of service for being a "worth reg" customer.

Their email support was not nearly quick enough. The ctr was horrible and the money was like my domains. Basically, I judge a lot on how I'll be treated as a customer within the first month of the relationship. My Parked.com relationship didn't last a month.

I have had things parked at Sedo as well with no success. I am now having our new portfolio directed to Fabulous in the morning. I want to give them a 90 day trial.

Please take the time to stop by, say g'day and welcome to NP and tell us your personal professional opinions. I certainly would appreciate it.

By the way, our portfolio is heavily focused on the auto industry, computers, audio devices, insurance, finance, legal, geo U.S. cities and unique keywords and generics.

ie: autos.net.au, autoloan.net.au, autoloans.net.au, automall.com.au, carmall.com.au, ibuygold.com.au, fixya.com.au, hornygirl.com.au, highestpayingkeywords.com.au, heybabe.com.au, gossipnow.com.au, girlsforgirls.com.au, landpackage.com.au, lendcash.com.au, mesotheliomafirm.com.au, moteldeals.com.au, nswda.com.au, onlineapproval.com.au, onlinerefund.com.au, onlinerx.com.au, oooo.com.au, rxdr.com.au etc etc etc-

Any and all help, suggestions, views, construction *edit*sorta* [but you can laugh too because I put "construction" instead of constructive LOL] criticism is much appreciated in advance. Thanks for reading.

Hey James,

Welcome to NamePros.

I did a little test and compared: TrafficZ vs. Fabulous vs. Parked.

I used only one domain, a financial domain, basically for 30 days and Parked.com won by a nice margin. Now, I didn't include Sedo.

I will publish my little experiment when I have more time for all readers.

But, you really have to utilize a few parking companies to maximize your income.

Good luck James.

Thanks,
paul

I have parked at numerous places and do not care for sedo at all although for getting offers its good that way. Namedrive was alright and you can read the other thread going on right now with parking panel (which I liked). I love parked (where I am at now).

I have heard good things about Fab but have never tried.

good luck, gary.

I have read these forums for a long time, and have never felt the need to post. However, I really can't agree with what you said about parked.com. I have been with pretty much every parking company, and hands down, parked has been the best.

You said that they took forever for their support to email you? Whenever I have submitted a trouble ticket, it is responded to generally within an hour. If it is "after hours" I have many times emailed my rep, or Donny, and even on weekends and holidays I have received prompt responses. I have never missed a check either. Every 9th and 24th I get my checks in the mail. I haven't missed one to date.

And as for CTR, well, in my experience... Parked has that covered as well. Perhaps it is your names. I see that most of them are com.au names. Perhaps you should try some decent .com's, .nets, .orgs, ect. Although, my .in and co.in names perform pretty well there as well.

here is a screenshot displaying my last 30 days of traffic at parked.com. Take notice of the CTR on my better traffic domains...... I can't even come close to that anywhere else.

Paul, thank you for the post and helpful information. Rep added.

Gary, thank you to you as well and I will possibly be able to share info back with you on Fabulous.com. Our names are being imported today and I'll have weekly reports to tweak out and test over the initial 30 days. Rep added. And great sig btw

Hello James

I've tried Fabulous, Sedo Pro and Parked. For my modest portfolio, Fabulous far out performed the other two. Of course, results will vary due to many reasons, not the least of which are the names in your portfolio.

I'm also waiting to try the new version of Bodis when released. Time will tell on that one.

Welcome, and good luck.

Have a great day and thanks again.

Thanks to all for your feedback, suggestions and great information based on your experience. We have directed our servers to Fabulous. Thanks again and if all goes well, we will be sharing our startup information on our blog about how we based our decision and who was involved in helping us make it.
