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 moved several names from Sedo to NameDrive a couple of months ago just to test its services. I like the fact that I can optimize traffice from different regions, but I'm not getting good CTR or the CPC. It may have something to do with my domain, my keywords or other factors. I'm not totally impressed by NameDrive.

September stats
CTR was 3.47% which I feel is very low
Avg PPC was .46, only because one domain obtained 3 clicks with an avg of 1.34 ea

Except for one domain, not impressive stats.

I would be interested in hearing some more information on your domains that are getting traffic. Like........

Link Popularity ?

Alexa Rank ?

Google PR ?

Overture ?

Here are a couple examples of my domains to get it started. These stats are for 30 days at Name Drive. I have a bunch more like this, but I just wanted to show a couple

BouvandFriends.us (Dog site) Views 449 Clicks 154 CTR 34.3% Avg PPC $0.09
Total Earnings: $13.60
Link Popularity: 42
Alexa Rank: 5,158,029
Wayback Machine: Since 2004 (this makes a big differance)

Kutaphane.biz (No idea?) Views 828 Clicks 233 CTR 28.14 Avg PPC $0.06 Earnings $14.80
Has Nothing. LOL

MedOnline.us (meds) Views 82 Clicks 13 CTR 15.85 Avg PPC $0.70 Earnings $9.10
LP 1,349

Hennipen.us (Prison) Views 185 Clicks 51 CTR 27.57 Avg PPC $0.21 Earnings $10.96
Overture With Extension = 42

As you can tell, I purchase expiring domains. It seems best if the domain has either Overture or The lower the Alexa Rank and the Higher the LP the better.

NameDrive Portfolio over the last 30 days:
2205 views 230 clicks % 10.43 ctr US$ 0.18 avg click - this is actually double my usual ctr since march...

Contrast that with this:

Fabulous Portfolio over the last 30 days:
860 views 157 clicks % 38.21 ctr US$ 0.58 avg click : love fabulous...

Just an update on my post above. I had a 5 cent click on one of my VoIP dn's yesterday -- the lowest I've EVER seen on these dn's. Up to now, I think the lowest had been 27 cents. Sad, so very, very sad.... I'm beginning to lose ND faith.

I've now moved all my domains out of Namedrive. Not a single one was performing well. Yes, I saw an increase in CTR, but I am still yet to receive a click that gets me higher than $0.05 (including insurance, poker, etc. related domains). People seem to be saying Fabulous is better - I have just been accepted by them and so I'll see how that goes instead.

I also have moved all my domains from NameDrive to Fabulous. I will give them a try for a month and compare. I will write and let you know in a month.

interesting. I regularly get clicks beyond 5$ on Namedrive.

On what keywords was this using?

NameDrive, home of the 1 cent click! Thank god for Fabulous!

[SimpleDomaining]

i got $2.00 for one klick last weak at Namedrive.

On what keywords was this using?

Generic banking related keywords ("online banking", "bank account" etc) in Danish and German. Admittedly 5-6$ is the upper end of the range , monthly average is closer to ten times less. Still, a far cry from one cent.

 

[GiddyUp]

Im getting about 21% CTR at ND this month with an average of 18 cents/click across the board. a couple of the domains have the keywords "dating", which regularly gives me between 9cents a click and 15 cents/click - but can go up to 30-40 cents. the higher ones are for keywords "weight loss" and "diet", which seem to provide an excellent CTR (about 25%) and a nice payout - these can go for about half a buck/click but average out around 35-40 cents - at least I think thats good for those keywords. what is everybody else getting around the board for the above keywords?

 

[Marcvs]

i get a fairly large CPC and make a bit!"

 

[Pound]

Okay...it seems I may have been a bit rash. Yes, most of my names are getting less than $0.05 per click, however, I have moved some more domains and today I have seen that yesterday I received clicks for $1+ with a high CTR! At the same time, domains that were getting less than $0.05 at Namedrive are now getting $0.60+ at Fabulous. The moral of the story - don't put all you domains in one basket (parking service).

Maybe I am outdated but I sort of like the layout but hate the colors.

<rant>
My biggest problem with them is constantly getting logged out and having to try multiple times to get my login accepted. Hell I would like to update some of my pages but having to log back in for nearly every new page display I give up and go off to do other stuff.
</rant>

Just looked (after having to enter my login info 3 times) and for this month my CTR is 24.15%, Avg PPC is $0.28 with lowest $0.0 and highest $1.32 which I feel is ok for the names I have.

I hate seeing anything less than 15% CTR. Wasted traffic drives me crazy! Still ND pays better on average than that lousy Sedo - the home of the .04 cent click. Business domains do very well at Fab, and travel ones for me do better at parked. Still have yet to find a good one for LLLL.coms and LLL.ca's.

Hello All, new to this forum, :hi:
(not to the parking business) :hehe:
For me ND is top, (okey many times auto-logout & saving errors....) just foudn out that they have new Templates for Travel & Realestate and some other ones as well, they look perfect.
My CTR is around 20% with CPC of around 24 Cents.
(a bunch of around 100 spanish IDN names do have 17% but CPC is just 9 cents overall)
Satisfied ND customer.

Apart from the CPC
NameDrive is the David Copperfield of PPC Parking Services
Now you see your profit high , (after 24-48H) now you don't
It would be better if they don't show it at all

I couldn't agree with you more. They should definitely show that you have had clicks, but then show for the price an N/A or something similar, then explain this in the FAQs.
