.infos Generate good traffic?

[crazy]

I was thinking about buying a cheap .info of an animal that has 5 mil pages on Google and parking it on DomainHop or Sedo. Would this be a good idea? What other kind of domains generate alot of traffic? Sports? Keywords? Businesses?

start with a popular extension if you want type ins, .info sure isn't the place to be if you want good parking income.

I agree. .com rules for type-ins. Although the volume is too low to mean alot, my highest click rates are w/ .info names, which I find interesting. I also am getting alot of views, as well as clicks, for a handful of .biz and .us names. But overall, .com, net and .org are definitely where the parking $$'s are at. But parking is only part of the marketing picture, and I use it more for sales/promotion and gathering data than I do as an income source, although I have heard that some people make very good income off of their ppc's alone. Most of my DN income comes via sales.

Dot infos aren't worth registering and putting time into. However, if you picked up a bunch of freebies and put up a bunch of content sites, they would probably cover their reg fees.

Yes, if you are registering .INFOs now, you've probably missed the first-class boat. Best to stick to dropping .COMs.

I'm no expert at type-ins but intuitively I can't imagine a poor name in popular extension being any better than a good name in a not so popular extension....

yep agree
