How many "Type Ins" does it take make a DN worthwhile?

I'm no longer listed as "newbie" but I am because I own a computer store that keeps me busy.

Take a parked name for example, is there a rule of thumb amount that is made on every 1000 views?

Or this is the same question worded differently...Perhaps a name would have to generate $1 per month to pay for the reg fees and give a little profit. Would it take 500 views, 1000 views, 5000 views, or 10,000 plus views to earn $1 a month on a parked name?

Anyone have any experience they are willing to share?

You can get sub $8 regs just about anywhere, so right there you are starting with a 75 cent/month break even point. If I have a domain that consistently gets 20+ visits/month I consider it worthy of keeping even if its not making $0.75/month. I figure thats enough traffic to monetize it better at some point down the road. Consider how much you would have to pay Google for 240 adsense clicks over the course of one year, almost certainly more than the cost of the $8 renewal fee.

That is an angle I was not thinking of

Thanks, for the thoughts on what it would take to advertise. My names aren't even doing 20 per month. Do you have any that have been parked long enough to give a meaningful return? I'm looking for: X cents earned for XX visits (where the X's are real digits).
