guide How To Make Money From Domain Parking + My Stats

[narek]

Hello, fellow domainers. I decided recently to focus more on making money from domain parking rather than reaching out to potential buyers to sell domains as it became a very time-consuming job.

I was able to earn about $800 the last month from domain parking alone (Bodis + custom parking pages) and thought to share the strategy I use, plus show the stats of one of my domain names that earned $160 USD the last month (purchase price $5 USD).

Here are the stats from October 7 (the day I parked the name with Bodis) until October 31:

This is the data for 1 of my names - freebitcoin / dot / pro. I don't mind sharing the name, but don't type it in the forum, please.

I bought the name about 10 months ago or so for $5 USD. It wasn't getting any traffic until the end of September. I decided to give it a shot on Bodis and the results were pretty good for me.

I figured out what was the reason that the name was getting an insane amount of type-in traffic every day. And the reason is a website called "free bitcoinS / dot / pro" recently launched and it has about 700 organic visitors every month. A lot of people type the domain name without an S at the end.

Was not hard to find a couple more websites like this, register a name for $4- $5 USD (mainly .TOP and .PRO extension) and start earning some money.

The way I find such websites is by using the tool called similarweb / dot/ com.

I am looking for websites related to finance/crypto. I start the search by typing one of these words: free, top, best, hot, mega, and then I add a keyword like these ones: solana, bitcoin, crypto, invest, etc.

Here is an example of using similarweb:

As you can see, a site called free solana / dot / top appeared. I opened Dyna and registered the same name with an S at the end. I already earned some money from that one too.

I hope you get the idea. If there are websites that end with an S, I try to register the same name in the same extension but without an S, and vice versa.

We are living in difficult times and I know there are a lot of people struggling to make some money. It is the only reason I share this. Hope I can help someone buy some gifts for the New Year.

Be well.

Do you risk getting your bodis account cancelled? Is this technically cyber squatting?

The question is, I believe, whether there is a trademark. All we do know at this point is that there is one very happy namepros member making a very tidy sum in domain parking thanks to his savvy domain choices!

Have you tried godaddy parking? if yes, can you compare with bodis
Thanks

I tried godaddy for a week and there is like almost 4x - 5x difference in average daily earnings.

with sedo, things are even worse. Here is a screenshot from my sedo parking reports:

I don't even know how to describe this. I don't park with sedo anymore. I contacted sedo multiple times to know if there is anything wrong with the parking settings but they kept saying everything is just fine. I think people bounce from sedo because of the ridiculously slow response times of their parking pages.

The best results for me are with Bodis.

Thanks a lot. Is it necessary to point ns to bodis?

You are welcome. No, it is also possible to point names to Bodis using CNAME records.

Hello, fellow domainers. I decided recently to focus more on making money from domain parking rather than reaching out to potential buyers to sell domains as it became a very time-consuming job.

Hi

as i read it, the focus change, with intent to make money, has been successful, so far.

the domain you registered and again the intent, regardless to whether the terms are generic or not... could be said as registered "in bad faith".
posting screenshots and methods to query, is enough weight for any complaint to illustrate that argument.

i know you may want to "share", but just be aware,
of what you're putting out there.


imo....

 

[narek]

Thanks so much! Im making $1-$3 a month on parking! I would love to buy some names especially for parking. Thank you

Do you risk getting your bodis account cancelled? Is this technically cyber squatting?

I only register names that are common terms to avoid trademark violations.

I had one domain tesla pickups .com that was making money, but I got rid if it.

Thank you very much for sharing valuable information.

Thanks a bunch, I just found out I have been sitting on a gold mine all this while with this info, and I actually have the .king version

 

[dwipp31]

Thanks for sharing such nice ideas .

 

[NameInbox]

Thanks for sharing.

Awesome

 

[biggie]

Thanks for pointing out the "bad faith" issue. Wouldn't the ad-parking companies screen such a domain out, then? For Bodis, Above, and Parking Crew, there does seem to be a fairly rigorous screening process for the domains.

Hi

the comment was a precaution to what could happen, given the evidence posted.

so, no need to read more into it, than what was stated.

just saying....

imo....

 

[biggie]

Did you suggest I keep the domain parked or try to build something around it? Since 100% of the traffic is type-in traffic

Hi

if, it was mine, i'd keep it parked for now.

if, the domain can be used for a commercial product or service, that is NOT in same category as the .co domain, then you could explore that option, while earning some parking revenue to offset future development costs.

imo...

If you people want to try parking, try it, no body is against, but do the math, if I park 1000 of domains and make less than 5$ per month, it's not worth it. Better to concentrate on domain sales.
Even if they will bring 50$ per month still not worth!
I can write an entire blog post about ads, they should pay us not for clicks but just for seeing ads, because for a human is enough to see the ads and not click it straight and he will remember later what he have seen and go buy it, this is what big AD corps don't tell you about human psychology.

 

[LoveCatchyDomains]

Thanks for the fascinating insight. So, basically if you have a name that is close to another popular, high-traffic one, you can get potentially get substantial parking revenue.
Isn't it curious that the owners of the singular name didn't bother registering the plural version as well? To think that they even lost out on potential parking revenue....

I find your post very informative and helpful. I do not know how to thank you.

yes, I guess if the terms are common terms and not unique to a business then all good

thanks, yeah, thats a good idea

Did you try to park on Above to see if it's better than Bodis?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Not yet, but I am looking forward to testing their platform in December. Maybe I'll post the results

Is ".king" a valid tld?

.king is .com

 

[narek]

First of all, Thank you for your valuable information!

Tell me, may it make sense, instead of parking on such domains, to hang a simple wordpress with an auto-filled site (or an auto-filled forum) on a topic, depending on the domain and monetize in this way?

I also see such an option for using such domains, to hang a smartlink from some partner network like lospollos

I do make money with content sites I am creating. I have tool websites like link shorteners & seo analyzers, also blogs in the tech, finance, and crypto niches.

However, I am not planning to build a website on top of the name I mentioned in this thread.

In my experience, the effort is not worth it for this kind of names.

thank you for sharing this @narbuq i have never heard of bodis before
i have some domains parked and i havent earn a $...
i will try and test out, using your information

sorry beginner question, can you have a domain parked in two sites at the same time???... i guess you cant but still i need to ask .

again thank you for this post.

Hi, Could you please give examples of common terms?

There is nothing as common terms. If you have a typo and the domain is parked its considered Cybersquating. You can also lose the domain in an UDRP, but the chances you will get an UDRP from original URL owner are smaller than having invented words or brandable typo.
