Increase Parking Revenue

[psalm91]

What are some of the things you are currently doing to increase your parking revenue? I’m doing the following.

1. Adding high paying keywords
2. Knowing what my customers are looking for and adding those keywords.
3. Researching domains before buying them and making sure they are not banned/fail listed.
4. Setting criteria’s and sticking to that recipe once you find one.

Im buying typo misspelled domains, I see most are taken so would mean it is a market for them. Have around 40 newly bought and have some good ones.

i have a lot of wikipedia typo and there no use of them in parking.

5. Don't get over-excited just bc of one $10 click

On a more serious note,

I agree with all except (4).
You should *always* avoid sticking to one recipe. If that recipe fails you'll be left with nothing to do while the expenses are running. In that kind of a position, you will end up panicking trying to find new ways to earn money.

Imo, one should always have mutliple ways of finding profitable domains no matter if one is successful in a certain way or not.

@Hypersot I get clicks like that each month. Just trying to inspire and show others that it is still possible. The thing about a recipe is there are many ingredients that usually make something and they are always tweakable. I’m constantly tweaking but I stick to the things that are consistent and working. I’m interested in what others are doing without causing extra competition for themselves.

get 10usd clicks 10 times ...every day.. then u have a point. now u have nothing.

My strategy to increase parking revenue is only one: search for good domains and let expire the bad ones.

Switching between platforms or using Above/Parklogic is an optimization but cannot change too much the result.
I have domains, especially related to asian region, that receive a lot of traffic but they are not able to reach 10$/year.
Other domains can earn $1 or $2 per click so it's easier to cover the investment and renewal fee.

Before I purchase a domain for parking, I always check to see if it’s fail listed. I utilize the domain status under the tools section in bodis.

top 3 high cpc parking niches..Anyone knows...Law domains CPC on bodis for me was 1.5$

You can't. If you're buying SEO domains (which I do still), they are almost guaranteed to die eventually. You can only hope to profit from them before they die.

Not everyone buys these kinds of domains. For example, typo domains are highly valued because their traffic lasts pretty much forever for logical reasons.

But they are usually much harder to come by or a lot more expensive.

SEO domains are cheaper and you usually earn significantly more money with them but they're anything but steady and safe.

@LoveCatchyDomains ,
sure. Just dm me the name. There is a chance I can spot what got it blocked.

 

[psalm91]

I utilize bodis domain status tools to check the status of a domain.

 

[psalm91]

Please don’t expect to increase your parking revenue if you can’t do the following.

1. Research - ability to analyze your data
2. Learn from your mistakes - figure out why your domains are not getting clicks or traffic.
3. Have a real budget - don’t expect to get far with a $15 to $50 budget.
4. Read the forum and try to comprehend the info. If the answer to your question is 3 post above your post then you are not really reading.
5. Don’t buy until you have done your due diligence or you will waste money.

@DrJacoby I would say to do both parking and selling. I’m definitely selling and parking. I’m parking with bodis, parkingcrew, and above while also listing them on afternic for sales. The more streams of income coming in the better.

 

[psalm91]

I’m ending August with my biggest revenue parking month in over 10 years of parking. This is by no means a brag just straight facts. For those of you just getting in don’t give up, have patience, and do your research. It is possible to make life changing money in parking if you know what you are doing.

Still getting 10$+ clicks?
@psalm91 , @iAbhay , anyone?

Thanks for the ideas.

Currently, I've been exploring the possibility of using Yahoo feeds for my one and only Faillisted domain. Challenging the Faillisted status, I understand, would be more difficult, but I would like to also understand from Google when that happened. Preventing it from happening to other domains is important.

Also, I do understand that Google has been more cooperative in removing the "adult" categorization in some instances. So I would like to at least explore that possibility with two other domains. Not that those are major ones in my portfolio, but there is no reason that a domain with "doctor" or "nurse" named Debby should have started receiving sex-related ads in the first place., Apparently that was something that happened while they were parked at GD with the "courtesy domain parking." Now that I've started the ad-parking this year for revenue, I'd like to fix this issue lingering from the past.

Can you explain a bit more what your are trying to do?

Regarding the FL domains,
contrary to what I hear (ie. that FL domains do not lose their status) I've seen them getting cleared out of the blue. Absolutely no idea why but they do.

Bodis show a description next to the status of a blocked/FL domain. Maybe that can give you some idea as to why a domain has that status? I'm referring to their tool here:
https://www.bodis.com/tools/domain-status

@LoveCatchyDomains ,
regarding the adult domains turned 'normal',

If you plan to park them, you should be aware that the adult feeds that are related to the names might show up again and return the domains to their former status.

That might happen both due to the keyword term you mentioned but also because of the potential visitors that really look for that term and when land on the page will click on the unwanted ads.

Thank you for mentioning this. I will contact Bodis immediately about manual custom feeds, to try to prevent this from happening again.
And thank you for all your kind extra assistance. You are a great domainer, and a wonderful asset to Namepros, IMHO.

Wise move. These domains I've had for about two decades. It's unclear still when the faillisted status showed up, and probably having the site developed will end up being the best way to remove that status.

In terms of choosing companies for optimization, one aspect that might be helpful for traffic is whether the ad-lander is secure. I've noticed that on the Bodis lander, "not secure" keeps popping up. Do Above, Parklogic, or Parking Crew even have the same issue?
For optimization purposes, this may be useful to at least not discourage traffic.

If you are still having the 'not secure' issue coming up, I found that trying a couple of different things fixed it on a couple of different domains.
One was just by using the bodis NS (which I wasnt before). For others, I used a url redirect, directing the root to the www. Then used the CNAME record for Bodis.

I dont know why either of these things fixed it (as it was really to do with SSL certificates and how my browser was auto directing to the https), but it worked.

 

[psalm91]

please can you suggest tools that can be use to perform these actions: Researching domains before buying them and making sure they are not banned/fail? Regards.

You can use bodis tools to check whether or not a domain has been banned/fail listed. To locate my higher paying keywords, I'm using google adwords and bing keyword tools. Do your due diligence before purchasing. Check to see if it has been parked in the past. People don't usually let profitable domains expire. Different tools you can use for research are wayback archive, majestic, and ahrefs to name a few.

 

[Sjpals]

Hello what tool do you use to check if domain is banned/failed? Thanks for sharing.

you can use mxtool box to see if its on spam lists.
https://www.namewest.com/fail/ for google fail list

 

[Synozeer]

https://www.namewest.com/fail/ for google fail list

This tool isn't accurate. It was showing my fail listed domains as clean.

 

[psalm91]

I’m on par to having a record breaking parking revenue month. I will say that I’m in growth mode acquiring between 2-5 domains per week. There are many domains out there making money just sitting there waiting to be purchased. Good luck all!

If you have coupons, you can get them for low as $.0.99 and high as you are willing to spend. You can purchase them on any registrar, you just have to know how to find them. I have found them on expired, drop catches, and auctions. You will have to research the forums and eventually learn from trial and errors. Learning from trial and errors can be very costly it was for me. Now that I know what to look for I can find them for under $100 bucks consistently.
