Making a living from domain parking

[TjKiller]

Hi everyone, this is my first post here on namepros even though I've been following this forum for over two years now.
I have some domains parked and I've been making some money with them, especially those with high epc/cpc (because 1 click or 2 in a domain of 30$ is better than 20 clicks in a domain with a cpc of 1$ – depends on the traffic too, niches, etc.)
My question here is the following [and to give me a little motivation too], does anyone here make a living exclusively from domain parking or could you live if you wanted to?
If you could complement that with some screenshots I would appreciate that ; What I'm asking is for high clicks, monthly revenue, etc.
Sorry for any mistake, I'm Portuguese (but raised in Andorra from 2 to 12 years old)
Thank you all for your generosity and transparency

I mostly see Parking as a way to track visits as Sedo and Dan stats are hugely inaccurate.

I make 100 to 200usd month... so yeah its deadish.

but some make 4 and 5 fig per month.

i guess on whole planet at least one dude makes 6fig month

so u go tell em parking is dead and they laugh so hard at you they die from laughter

It seems like you work with bodis

what u need is bodis.. sedo is the last point of reference or park company in universe u want

I have never tried bodis. Parking is dead for me based on my experience with sedo and parkingcrew.

Hey, guys, is anyone using the GoDaddy auctions sale option at Bodis? Impressions?
Looks better than the Make Offer option, I think, because the buyer can purchase directly via the Go Daddy BIN.
I think this Bodis option combines BIN+ads successfully. However, the buyer has to "click here" to go to the GoDaddy auctions page.

What do you think?

It must be click as you cant have both selling traffic and keeping it.

Hi

unless you have something to compare against....then inaccuracies only exist in the statement.

i don't use dan, but have no problem with the accuracy of sedo ppc statistics

imo...

Do you think Sedo Parking is better than Bodis? The Sedo Parking mobile version sucks, because the visitor can't see that the domain is for sale, unless they go to the end of the page.

I currently use Bodis with the GoDaddy Auctions sale option, because it has a bin+GoDaddy brand. What do you think about that?

Hi
you made a statement about dan and sedo stats being inaccurate.
however, nothing in your quoted reply above, mentions any evidence of such inaccuracies.

there can be some names that perform better on different ppc platforms.
and only way to know that, is to try all of them, unless you're satisfied with where they currently reside.

imo...

Biggie, I think Sedo inaccurate stats is something pretty well established on NP or not? And from personal experience, I think their stats are not correct.
I think you are the first person on NP that claims Sedo has somewhat accurate stats. Based on what I have read on NP, Sedo has the most inaccurate stats!
I think even Sedo ppl wrote somewhere about that.
You are definitely more experienced, but that's my impression after reading so many threads and posts on NP.
I would also add my little experience with Sedo Parking, their numbers seem inflated.

Hi,
Am new to this. Just wondering if the ads on the new Dan/bodis hybrid will it affect the clicks? I have not seen pure Bodis click page. Dan/Bodis hybrid has a for sale tab on the left and the links from Bodis on the right. IS it better to convert to pure bodis parking if a few of my domain has good amount of traffic coming?

Thanks!

Hi

that, might be something to test.
if using the same domain to gauge ctr/epc with dan's hybrid vs bodis stand alone.

however, since you can also enable "for sale" banner on bodis, the difference between them may be negligible.
i have received offers via bodis ppc pages in the past, so that's reason for the assumption.

imo....

Hi

perhaps read this thread:
Does sedo traffic mean anything nowadays? - NamePros

as i've said before, some domains perform better on different platforms.
there is no best place for all names.

those who post on NP about inaccurate stats, rarely show evidence or may be confused about stat reporting in general.
and at the same time, there are those who don't post on NP, but they may be quite content with sedo's performance

it's best to note that every platform does not measure all possible statistics, the same.
so when parking for ppc, then go with who is paying the most revenue for that specific domain.

imo...

I think the crucial question is pure Bodis parking or Bodis parking with sale banner? Does the sale banner afffect clicks? And which sale banner is the most effective? Bodis or Afternic NS3?

I have mostly business names, and definitely not getting 1000 visits for each name monthly. My mostly visited names get 50-100 visits monthly and I think the visitors are domainers or end users.
I use parking mostly to track visits and I like the NS3 Go Daddy form where the sales banner takes you.
Which option do you think would be the best for me? Any other ideas?

 

[Lord Antares]

I parked one domain at bodis since it gets a lot of traffic but the ads are untargeted. They're generally porn ads but the right niche for the domain so STR is low. Is there anything I can do here? Or should I monetize this domain myself?

 

[phaethon]

Hmm . I think our expectation with regards to parking earnings must be to cover the renewal fee. I wonder if even that is possible

 

[psalm91]

Your expectation is possible for parking earnings. Just have to figure out the right formula. Find more domains that are profitable versus unprofitable. Focus on your domains that make you money and figure out why.

Indeed. I think it takes at least a year of testing

 

[phaethon]

Well, my parking test is over! I earned 3.50USD over 1.5 month. Back to the old good Afternic and Dan landers. I think parking is dead, Indeed
