NameDrive or Parked?

[tabishis]

I have got a few ASIA domains parked at PARKED.COM for about a month that haven't been getting any visitors at all. I just learned about NameDrive a few minutes ago.
I had some of my other domains parked at Sedo for a while but that didn't do good to me. I am super CONFUSED and I need to know everything that I should do to drive traffic to my parked ASIA domains. Should I keep my domains parked at PARKED.COM or move to NAMEDRIVE?
I would truly appreciate your help and advices. Reps would be added to all.

Thanks a bunch.

Dot ASIAs are too new to receive any type-in traffic. You should park them at parked.com, add some keyword-rich unique content and hopefully you'll get some search engine traffic.

Anyone?

If there are few visitors to your domains, changing parking companies will generally not help. If you were actually getting traffic and clicks but you weren't happy with the PPC your parking company's paying you, this is where trying different parking companies can help.

I agree the best way to monetize your .asia domains (or other domains with little traffic) is to add unique, relevant content onto it. As nu-money suggested, you could try adding some of your own content to your Parked.com pages. I've seen customized Parked.com pages that look very nice and you're lucky you're already using Parked because they're one of the few parking providers that let you add your own content to your parking page. Then, you might get some search engine traffic.

Taking the domain off parking completely, creating a real minisite/website, then adding Google [or other] ads is always a great option if you're committed enough. :tu:

Good luck.

Add the content

Add the content. Get some keyword strong backlinks etc. Having the page at parked could allow you to generate some search traffic.

I have a domain (at parked) that ranks #1 on MSN and number #2 on Yahoo for its keyword. Its not a type-in domain so the traffic is coming from search.

good luck and assume it'll take some time for the traffic to grow via this method.

It all really depends on your keywords. As said earlier, .asia's are too new to recieve good traffic. Get it parked at parked :p and have some good keywords put into it.

.Asia is unknown by many people, the only ones visiting it now, are domainers just testing to see if the domain is available or not.

The extension needs a few years to grow, that is if ICANN doesn't pull up some more new ones, but me thinks they will. All these new additions only serve to strengthen the existing .com extension IMHO.

You will need to put in a ton of effort and expense to promote them, if you want any real visitors at all.
