How in the Earth Anyone Make $1000

[ngenme]

I mean

2 cents per click at SEDO. Must have a lot of traffic. However, the only way search engine will index a site is if we ping a pingomatic, or get many links point to our site or stuff like that....

 

[italiandragon]

I tell you a secret:

register any kind of domain, if a .name lol

then put a nice picture of a nice naked woman on the home page

then write under her picture:

FREE SEX ? YES, BUT YOU HAVE TO FIND THE LINK IN THIS PAGE!

(So they`ll be clicking anything , including the ADS and it won`t be spamming) lol.

:hehe:

 

[kemjika11]

well...move them somewhere else?

Thats what i did for most of my names, but a few don't get clicks anywhere else(i've only tried a few places honestly), so i left them @ sedo since some clicks are better than none :imho:

I am not sure, but I think I have read in various TOS that you aren't supposed to trick people in any way. I mean, look at it from the advertisers point of view. Would you want people clicking your ad, and costing you money, if they really have no interest in your ad other than to try and find some "prize" hidden among a lot of other ads?

I'm pretty sure he was just joking around. Hence the :hehe: at the end of his post.

 

[netmeg]

Probly wouldn't work on me, either...

 

[italiandragon]

of course it was a joke

Sorry

 

[tpruby]

Can someone simply post the companies that allow link advertising to the parked pages? Or at least, placing the links on blogs? People go so far as to indicate this practice is accepted at certain parking companies...but which ones?

 

[gingeman]

Ways to make $1000/month from parking? You need one of two things, or even better, both.

1) Money to invest.
2) Hard work.

No secret there.

Good domains will make that amount easily, but those names require a lot of money to obtain. If you are skilled and hardworking you will get those names cheaper, and you will know how to squeeze the most out of them. Rubbish names + no knowledge of what you are doing is the bottom rung of the ladder as it were.

 

[NickRac]

Sorry

No fun allowed!

 

[DADomains]

No fun allowed!

Oh, I like fun! It's just that I think there are a lot of newbies around forums like these, including me, that can easily get themselves in trouble with jokes like this. For instance *I* took him seriously. But no harm done.

Anyway, back the the topic of the post. Is the popular opinion then that you simply can't make that kind of money with hand-regs and good optimization/customization anymore?

 

[nielsencl]

I think you can, but you need a sizeable investment. Either actual premium domains or a lot of cheaper domains that can generate some money beyond reg fees.

You need to know how to do the keyword research to buy or register good domains.

You need to know how to work with your parking account so that the domains are doing the best they can.

And you need to do whatever is allowed to get traffic to your domain, but that is very limited. I have not paid for traffic yet, but if you know what you are doing I hear it can work.

Almost everything is possible with will power, good research and fast action.

Buy good names - not just names that sound good to you, but names that are keywords which occur in daily SE searches. For this you could use specialized keyword analysis software like Wordtracker. For example; keywords like freegames get actually typed in with extension. People actually type in freegames.com or porn.com. I know that such names are already taken and would cost a fortune to buy, but there are still thousands of search queries which people still type in. Your job would be to research and find these. Needless to say, make sure that you don't end up buying domains with lengthy keywords as very few people are going to type in buytoysinwestvirginia.com. Your better bet would be buytoys.com. Or wvtoys.com.

Knowledge is power. Read... Read and Read. Also, ASK whenever possible. But only ask when you are sure that your answer is nowhere to be found. That helps you engage in self study and lesser reliance on other people. Sometimes, the person who may guide you may actually not be an expert. You could end up getting wrong information and wasting time on fruitless endeavors. In my 10 months of domaining I first started reading every recognized forum and made various searches for my related information. I didn't know what a keyword was, didn't know what PPC stood for, in fact last year this same time, I used to call a domain a URL. I have yet tons to learn and very less time on hand. I envy guys who got into domains some years back.

Ask people how things work. I made it a point to pester my account manager at Parking Panel about so many things. It took me months, but I seem to have understood how their system works. I was lucky that my account manager had the time some months back to answer my multiple questions. These days, its hard to get a line. With this example I wish to say that don't just give up on any parking service in 10-15 days just because you ended up getting 3-8 cents. Try to figure out what could be wrong on your side. Maybe you need to use better keywords? Maybe you need a change of template, a nice header? Try it all out before you move. And always make a note of changes made to your domain and the resulting change in CPC. CTR if any. This can help you lock in your best performing keyword and template. It takes time but its worth it.

Moving from one parking service to the other is time consuming and with no success guarantee. Its better to have solid built up stats from one service which eventually can also help sell a domain name based on steady revenue stats.

Be in regular contact with your account manager to find out how your domains are doing or any new upgrades/updates they are planning. This helps you gain an advantage in advance. Example, I know that PP is introducing new templates in a few weeks, I have some names ready in advance to make use of those templates. Move fast to win better.

Ask pertinent questions and not broad questions. Broad questions like what is domain parking have already been answered and you are wasting an opportunity to learn something better by asking a seasoned expert about it. I would rather ask an expert, "which market niche in your opinion has been most steady in terms of advertiser spend". Now this question actually lets me know which keywords to target without getting worried about their RPC's falling. Ever since I joined parked.com, I make it a point to pester Donny with pms and emails...and phone calls...lol. He kinda might be extremely fed up with me by now but has helped me immensely to optimize my portfolio and understand how Yahoo and Parked sync with each other.

Always try to find out things yourself first and only when you have reached a dead end ...then ask someone. Why? Because if you try finding information yourself, you most likely end up reading a lot of related information which you never knew existed in the first place. That helps you increase your knowledge. For example, you wanted to know some medical keywords and you ran searches on forums and search engines, you might end up finding that there is a new keyword that pays much more and is a better niche to target.

I see that some new domainers don't seem to have the patience to do all this and just throw out broad questions like "tell me the best keyword for this domain".. you give them an answer and they are gone. Then they come again after 20 days saying " now tell me what should i do with this domains keyword". The learning potential here is very minimum and the person isn't even understanding if the keyword being given out is relevant to his domain.

Try keywords which
1) Have a better CPC value &
2) Which are sincerely relevant to your domain's theme
3) Which bring up related ads which a visitor might be interested to explore

If any of the 3 combinations dont match, you will end up getting a low CTR. Sometimes higher paying keywords bring up ads which are so boring and hopeless in ad content that nobody would be interested to click on them.We have to realize that we already have a disadvantge of having a parked page. It should be our endeavor to use empathy and look at our own domain landing page as a visitor and check to see if we ourselves like what we see. Once you have these solid principles in mind, you will start seeing a better CTR and resulting payoffs.

Sometimes it is better to target a lower paying keyword with better ads and CTR, simply because you atleast make some money rather than nothing.

Well, I'm not making all that big money yet, but making a 1000 bucks a month is possible with the right directed approach.

Varon.... you never stop amazing me with your in-depth posts. Your knowledge is a benefit to every member on NamePros.

Once again.... Thanks for taking the time to help others. Its a trait that not many people possess. You should be very proud of that. Keep up the good work!

[DADomains]

You know Varon you could probably make a mint at the article submission business.

I mean take that last post for example. You can use it, as is, give it a title, add links to the bottom of it to point to whatever domain you want, and then submit it to the article sites. You will get lots of readers and traffic in no time.

If you haven't done this already, do it man! Before someone takes your posts, paraphrases them a little, and does just that. :hehe:

However please continue to post "previews" of all your new articles here at NP. :tu:

He's done it all before. He taught me all about article writting and submitting them to isnare.com and a host of others. :hehe:

Thanks Tony.. I should give that a thought...

Thanks NPK ... I hope you are doing well with your domains...

 

[NPKJB]

Thanks Tony.. I should give that a thought...

Thanks NPK ... I hope you are doing well with your domains...

Thanks to you, I'm doing much better with my domains. I went from pennies per day to $4-$5 per day. I know for most of you that's peanuts but for me its a good start. I will continue to apply your knowledge to my domain business and will be sure to hit the $10 per day mark within the next few months. :hehe:

 

[metronome]

4-5$ per day for each domain is nice. I have so many domain names, but only a few that makes over 1 USD per day>.<

 

[johname]

i think he met 4-5 per day for his all his domains, not each one. :hehe:

 

[mhdoc]

Varon wrote a really good post(s) but I can't help thinking if you are going to work that hard on your parking, why not develop?

 

[NPKJB]

i think he met 4-5 per day for his all his domains, not each one. :hehe:

You are correct.

I just ran a few reports and the range is more like $3-$4. Sorry for stating the wrong revenue. :td:

I probably jinxed myself because today is the worst day I've had this month. I hope it picks up before I go to sleep. :hehe:

 

[avi2l]

Regardless, if your getting $3-$4 a day, thats about a $100 a month for a domain. I wonder how many people are able to get a consistent $100 a month per domain with a large lot of domains.

Is $100 a month for a domain reasonable? Or a $1 a day? For something like a WhyPark site or a mini-site?

 

[Varon]

I think a good start for a mini site like whypark would be $1/domain per day. I mean if someone really gets to a stage where he/she has a 100 minisites all earning $1 per day each, it makes a sizeable revenue of $3000 a month. $3-4 a day is not bad, its a great beginning. It can only get better.

 

[ulasbbtr]

hi Varon, you mentioned about wordtracker software in your magnificent post. I checked wordtracker they are selling it as a service, and 250$ per year is somewhat expensive for me. what about thedowser? did you try it? or any other wordtracker software that you can advice, thanx
