debate I wonder why the parking revenue has declined for so many people here

I wonder why the parking revenue has declined for so many people here
for me its only 30% of what it was 2 years ago
- decline 70% -

in google adwords - those campaigns have become very expensive in the same time frame - so I would expect the revenue to rise - but it declines

is the true for you too?
what do you think may be the reason?

I wonder if anyone in this forum still making above $50 a day?

LOL

Probably there are. Hey, I earned 20 cents today and am on target to crack $10 (USD) this month!

 

[thegeekguy]

september was worst month since I started in 2001
yesterday income fell below previously unseen $1 usd

Is that because of low CTR?

Like I said, its a black box. Not sure exactly what happens inside. There is no independent auditing of figures to ensure all figures are accurate, etc. I doubt this will change. In the end, selling domains is much more lucrative - IMO.

thanks for the 14 months stats, try out Rookmedia. CTR is low but they still pay good for high value keyword domains.

 

[Crysis]

LOL. My CTR rate is dismal 1.90%

Has not affected much...

 

[parkking]

"Payouts are low because they were able to get away with it. But that has long-term consequences as that traffic that used to go to parking evaporates and starts going to more productive places. Parking is stale and has not innovated in many years. It is what it is. It probably won’t get any better. And like everything else you will keep seeing more and more mergers and consolidation. I went from parking almost 100% of my domains to less than 5%. I can’t sleep at night giving away valuable traffic for a fraction of a penny. I would rather spit it into the ocean first."

Great domain name.

Yes, reg. fee. But I have also good experience with domains with backlinks. Sure majority of big ones get backordered, but 50% of them for SEO purposes, there are sometimes domains overlooked with low to moderate CPC that bring revenue. There has to be 1 more metric (not visible in expireddomains parameters) to actually purchase the name But normally I sort them by CPC.

how much did the domain earn so far?

 

[dordomai]

Approx. 170 USD in September.

that's quite amazing for a regfee domain. from backlinks?

 

[thegeekguy]

A bit out of topicc decades80 using Uniregistry is there a way display income per domain instead or aggregated income?

 

[NachoGalactico]

@thegeekguy - annoying isn't it. I'm still using the old DomainNameSales system to pull in stats on a per domain basis. If they added this to Uniregistry (or if I could figure out how to do it) I'd be able to drop the old platform entirely. I'm due a call from one of their staff members later today & will ask them.

 

[dordomai]

No backlinks, just type in traffic.

what was the approximate CPC? I think if you want $50 clicks you need at least $250 CPC or something like that, right?

 

[MackieMesser]

I'm not doing very well from using parking services, so I'm starting to build mini-sites to see how I get on managing it myself. I've only got around 100 names at the moment, so it's probably manageable.

I plan to use Google as a primary source of revenue, and the sites will be photo and/or video galleries, blogs, radio sites etc. Is anyone else planning to manage their own parking?

I thought of something like that, too. I had/have some (normal) websites running, but they quite often requires regular content updates.

right

so this must be a typo domain then right?
