Namedrive - CPC?

[Pound]

Hi,

I have decided that the Namedrive parking pages are by far the best, however, I was wondering what sort of CPC people are getting for different keywords?

Thanks.

I get good traffic at NameDrive and a good click %, but very LOW CPC for all my words...

I used ND for a while and the clicks where not great. I know the templates are great but my highest click was something like $0.60.

I have better result with Fabulous and thats not only for gambling domain names.

Yea, i'm getting close to 60% CTR with about 4 cents per click. I think the reason they do so well is the customised pictures next to the ad's, maybe some sort of subliminal thing. I tried the same page elsewehere with the same keyword and got less than 1% CTR... strange, but who am i to question it?

What is CPC? I get a 10-15% Click through rate and $0.10 per click on average.
These stats are from domains that I would have let drop if I kept them parked with trafficclub.
NameDrive's ability to optimize keywords and change templates makes them one of the indusrty leaders.

I have been using DomainSponsor, Sedo and NameDrive.

I have overall got the best results with Sedo but their parking pages does not have the best look. DomainSponsor had the worst parking pages and the cpc was low.

NameDrive has very nice parking pages and your keywords do not need to be accepted by the staff but the cpc is lower compared to Sedo on entertainment keywords. With NameDrive have I got some good CPC rates with finacial keywords.

I have also done well with namedrive. i get about a 20-30 % CTR steady over each month and my clicks range from around 10 cents up to 70 cents, but mostly average out to around .15 - One thing that troubles me is it seems my traffic and CTR really increase during the last week of every month and then shoot down at the beginning of each month. FOr example, ill be making about $2 a day steady and then the last week of each month like clockwork it goes to around 5-$6 - anybody else experiencing this?

I have been parking my names between Sedo and ND. I have found that I recieve a higher CTR at Name Drive, however I also find that most of the domain names CPC is lower at Name Drive. Not always, but in most cases. Adult oriented domain names although a better template at ND and better CTR, do not pay out as well as with Sedo (even with less clicks!). Anyone else with Adult domains? I am curious who is paying out the best. I see between 3-7 Cents for clicks on my adult names, however I rarely see the high end of that. Usually about .04 per click. (too bad too, I get a ton of these clicks) Any suggestions on increasing my adult CPC?

ND
My highest 0.72
Lowest .04
Average 0.31

In addition to the OP's request, I'm interested to hear what folks think is an acceptable CTR for a parked page?

How low of a number does it take to make you start fiddling with the settings (even though it's only been 7 days)?

How high of a percentage does it take to make you smile? :o

I am happy when I get a CTR about 25%

My best performing names on ND are my VoIP dn's. 6-9 months ago they consistenty generated clicks of over 2 bucks (and a few even higher) with a pretty fair amount of traffic. The problem is, now I'm lucky to get half a buck a click and the traffic has dropped considerably...

Guess I'm going to have to get off my lazy butt and actually develop them.

Well at ND i saw the lowest CPC rates
I got even $0.01 something that never happened to SEDO (for the same domains) the last 17 months

Since starting this thread, I have had 2 clicks of 0.10c and 0.15c.

Not bad, but this was for such terms as insurance which usually gets much higher.

 

[lpxxfaintxx]

My average is an upsetting $0.04. Terrible! But still, CRT is %16, which is better compared to SEDO.

NameDrive doesn't show your actual earnings for a click until approx. 24 to 48 hours have passed. Until that time, they usually assign a .10 or .11 cent value to it.

Oh okay - I'll wait to see what happens then!

I have now added a poll to see what sort of CTR% you would find acceptable or not.

Thank you gooster! Everyone please participate in this Poll!

This should give us an idea at what point we should start tweaking our Keywords and page designs.

Remember though, as we have already seen in this thread, different situations will produce different results, and what may be a good % under one program might not work under another.

Peace,

I can tell you so far my experience with name drive has been pages start higher in terms of click through (even after final settlement of 48 hours.) And seem to be shaved in revenue more and more on a daily basis to the point of some of my domains getting more clicks and 50% of the revenue. This is very disappointing as I really like the idea of the offers from investors and I want to have this option. I was just curious if anyone else with name drive is experiencing the same problem and what you can do to curb it?

Also I have a specialty in adult domains can anyone recommend a parking site that is consistently over .10 on these? If so do you ahve more than one name or are you doing one niche.. IE what is your adult target if you do.

In terms of normal traffic what seem to be the best overall for parking. RPM and ease of parking.

Thanks.

Oh dear.

I have now had a few domains parked at namedrive (ones with least traffic) and have:

CTR - % 10.53
Views - 19
Clicks - 2

These clicks generated me a whopping $0.01 and $0.02.

Therefore, although my CTR as gone up (not by that much actually), my average PPC ($0.02) has plummeted.

I know this is a small sample size, but do you think this sums the nature of Namedrive up?
