How much do you earn monthly with domain parking?

[sharehare]

I was wondering how much everyone makes with domain parking. Please post how much YOU makes and how many domains you own

Myself I'm very new to domain parking and I paid a friend of mine to find domains for me and I'm making $30-$50 daily with 31 domains

This is my first month and so far $480.

Almost without exception, the best way to get money from a domain name that you've registered through any registrar is NOT to park it. My personal opinion is that parking a domain is throwing potential revenue away. Unless your keywords and domain name are out of this world, you probably won't make enough to even cover your annual registration fees. The exception is if you find a domain name that has a high pay-per-click value. That's more than I can cover here.

Instead, develop a small website (usually referred to as a mini-site) where you can control content, branding, advertisements or paid links -- and overall quality. A mini-site might be 3-5 pages long. Some advertisers (e.g., Google Adsense) do not permit one-page sites when using their ads. Read the T's & C's of the ad provider. You can also use the site to sell the domain name!

Develop expertise in using the Google Keyword Planner. (It has replaced what was called the Google Adwords Keyword Tool).

Back to your mini-site... The better the quality, the more traffic. The more traffic, the more Pay Per Click (PPC) revenue. Even limited traffic can provide substantial click-through revenue on rare keywords. Just make sure that the keywords are drawing at least 1,000 views a month.

Do as much as you can do by yourself, while recognizing your limitations. Be sure to write out your expectations/ requirements/ specs/ goals for the site. If you are not a web designer, either use a templating engine like WordPress, or purchase a web designer by the job.

Contract a graphic designer for a simple but professional logo. Buy some inexpensive stock photography. Use a content provider to write your text, incorporating 3-5 keywords for your page (check out TextBroker as example).

Hire an SEO specialist to ensure you get front-page search-engine traffic. Hire talent to do a welcome video.

You might spend as little as $200-$500 or as much as $8,000-$10,000 on such a site, but if you put some of your own elbow grease into it, your annual payback could be very good. If you have a domain that is worth $10, it may not pay to sink a fortune into it. But if the domain has a valuation of $10,000, sinking another $5-10,000 into a well-performing site could produce some nice ongoing revenue. Keep in mind that you're also increasing the domain name value at the same time you're improving your PPC revenue.

There are a bunch of micro-production sites where you can have folks bid on your job. The most well known of these is fiverr . com, where you can get a variety of services at a price that you specify. Once you find a great contractor, don't let them go. Keep them busy!

Welcome Ethan,

but don't forget
that then you are no longer in the domaining business
but in the domain development business

I got about 1 domain name that is current making about $10 month on average, i have more domains which are receiving traffic but not getting any clicks. But then again they are parked on afternic at the moment, maybe not the best place for parking

 

[decades80]

Yesterday received 8 clicks on a single domain in worth of 150 bucks. So whoever tells you parking is dead is lying. Ive never had any issues or chargebacks at Uniregsitry with my high CPC domains, since my traffic is 100% natural.

 

[frank-germany]

no parking is not dead at all
... the parking companies do well I guess

7-9 years ago (2008-2010), I was earning $75,000/year from 650 parked domains.

Then I learned that domain sales are tangibly more lucrative, sold my domain parking portfolio, and I haven't looked back since. I can make $75,000 in a single domain sale. Who needs parking?

Domains for parking
and Domains for to be sold
are 2 totally different kind of domains
-in my experience-

Just guessing this one, the users who dont make a 75.000 USD on a single sale?

 

[Jurgen Wolf]

$75K sales are very rare even in DNJournal...
Except some ultradomains.

From the USA such clicks?

 

[decades80]

Yup, almost everything in 10 to 50 USD per click. 98% are from US, but from time to time there is a click from India.

But the 50 USD clicks had become rarer and rarer in the last weeks. It seems there is an overall decline of CPC.

yes we all know parking income has declined
and still is declining
guess thats not a rumor

personally I know advertising has not become cheaper since 2008
and still becoming more expensive

now give me an explaination
that makes parking companies NOT look like ....


I don't know 1 parking company
that promises you x percent of their income
why is that?

if a parking company would agree to pay me 50%
of any income from my traffic
and agree to be transparent
not to me
but to some legal officials on those 50%
I would switch immediately to them


think a little..

.. and we all keep on sending them traffic
dreaming a hopeless dream..

parking is not dead.. but your numbers are minnority and way above averages..

can you share nay of your parking knowledge here? are your top parked domains also valuable for sale value? are they old? don't tell me your getting these numbers on some recent or not so old handregs

cheers

I mainly deal with high CPC keywords only. Some, earning the most approx. TOP 25 are alcohol rehab, drug rehab, VOIP domains, structured settlements and injury lawyers I am getting those clicks on. They are from various years from 2011 till very recent.

 

[frank-germany]

and yes some of you make decent money using parking companies...
but still

I doubt you get a better percentage then me

 

[decades80]

It seems much from first sight 150 on a single domain in 1 day, but this is actually poor, since some guys have 1 domain which is earning 1000 per day in average in parking revenue. If I remember correctly, the parking crew mentioned it in their thread they have some on board, whose single domain is making 1000 USD per day.
I think those dont have for sale link or do they?

yes that looks good at first glance

how long did you work for that result?
how many domains needed to be non renewed as they were not as good as you thought?
how much money did you not see
-due to a crappy performing parking page?
-due to tracking errors?
- and other malfunctions?

 

[decades80]

At first it was quite a work, to test all the possible combinations of words and traffic, but later on it became easier if you use deduction and induction and learn something from the previous mistakes. My rule is simple, I put everything with high CPC on DNS, if there is lousy performance, I put them on PC. I put on PC everything with middle CPC 1 to 10 and I put small CPC domains like games, soccer and such on DomainAdvertising. Have discovered recently that for the low CPC Yahoo feed outperforms the G. feed.

 

[decades80]

I even have some domains which I keep on renewing in poetry niche, they are worth 0 I guess and they dont make 8.50 USD for renewal, but since I published some of mine translated poems in US small presses, I keep them renewing just in case I one day publish a poetry collection, so I want to be ready with the targeted traffic.

so you would say that most or alll your good money makers were bought aftermarket or there are regfee ones too?

do you still ever find handreg gems that make you good money???
any particular criteria to look for as a tip?
would you say .com is best? other tlds?

ty

 

[decades80]

in approx. 85 to 90% they are (hand reg.) with drop catching software or real hand regs from expired lists. 10 to 15% were bought on auctions. I normally trust alexa, because the range of traffic is showing is very accurate. You can not project it to real numbers, but it gives you an impression of magnitude of order.
Com is not always the best, but mostly, some niches like insurance, drug rehab, lawyers, charity prefer .org so you actually go for .org type ins. If you are talking about expired domains, I also have good results with .com.mx, co, eu, de and in domains as there is less competition.

And I always check the previous screenshots plus if the domain was dropped like 3 or 4 times, I would not go for it.

which parking site you use ??

 

[mpls]

Here always the same with parking.
$ 0.01 per click.
$ 0.20 per month.
Never receive > $ 0.01 per click in 2 years, NEVER.
Sometimes $ 0.01 per 2 / 3 clicks.

 

[frank-germany]

parking is great

great hope

- I have taken some traffic domain w/o income off -
