Moving financial domains from Bodis to... where?

[pertosda]

Hi guys,

Im considering moving my financial domains to another parking program. They're currently at BODIS and, no matter how much I tweak the keywords... the average PPC is always around $0,25.

What are your recommendations? My bet is Parked.com, which I tried some years ago and I am willing to give it another chance. Do you think there is a better parking program specifically for financial domains? Maybe NameDrive? SmartName?

All opinions are welcome. Thanks!!

For some reason my financial domains do best on Namedrive and usually get an average of .75 cents per click so I would try that don't need too many clicks at the rate to make it worth it.

Thanks. Anyone else?

My financial terms do best at Domain Sponsor. Personally, Parked has gone downhill a lot since the move to Bing.

Hmmm, what domains are we speaking of here so I can take a look real fast?

I would also Suggest Domainsponsor.com for Financial domains..

they are the best and cpc is also high... Insurance, loan, domains do really well for me..my average cpc is like 10 to 20 times better than what you are getting

Fabulous does very well on some financial domains.

Domainsponsor does best for me ( by far...) on financial and mainly insurance domains.

Thanks guys, it seems DomainSponsor is the winner, but they didnt accept my application for some reason (I dont understand exactly why) so I might give NameDrive a try.

Will post results.

Ok I started today with ND, after seeing $4 from 22 clicks at Bodis. I will let you know if it gets better in a few days.

can someone please fill me in on why every parking company seems to use google and yahoo to provide the ads on domains yet have such drastic pay outs for the same keywords?





P.S. have you tried parking with google's adsense for domains?

Ok, after a couple of weeks, my domain is performing much worse at NameDrive than it was at Bodis.

Maybe it is just me. The domain is a typo of a very popular banking services site and I have been using "refinance", "credit report" and such as keywords.

Any idea? Should I give another try to ND or move elsewhere asap?

@misterman88 btw, I never tried AdSense for domains

If it's a typo, then how much traffic does it actually get? If your asking us the keywords for a banking services site, try banking, loans, or credit cards. You should choose 1 keyword and stick with it for at least 1 month. Not keep chopping and changing it.

Thanks @stub. I did that at Bodis and it didnt perform good enough.

This typo doesnt get a lot of traffic, just a few hundreds monthly, but it was enough to make $60 and $70 some time ago. The CTR use to be great (over 30%) and so was the CPC.

Maybe those good days are just gone? Anyway Im trying to find the right parking program, the right template and the right keyword to optimize this domain performance.

At Bodis it was stuck at $12-$14 per month and, from past experience, I know it could make much more than that.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions. Truly appreciated.

Have you tried DomainSponsor yet? did you respond to cfguru360's request What did he say?

Most parking has fallen off a cliff over the last year.

 

[pertosda]

I couldnt make it to DS, my my application got rejected for some reason. Is there a way to get accepted for sure?

 

[Name Trader]

Not that I know of. Sorry. What did cfguru360 say?

 

[pertosda]

I'll contact him to see if there is something to try at Bodis.

Thx!
