the names in your sig.....are thoose the names parked? If so a # in the middle of a name isnt a natural type in or one a person would do. Doesnt even fit the typo criteria

well 1 click out of 9 views is huge. That's like 12% or something. typically you get 1%-6% with highly targeted pages.

I have listed my recommendations and why on www.DomainParkingGuru.com

The promoting a parked domain is a bit of a gray area. Domainhop who pays even for every visit wont allow you to "send" any traffic. Others don't care.

The key is to get quality visits since ultimately you want those clicks to produce income for the parking service and the advertiser in real business. If you don't it is clear that you are somehow sending non-serious visitors and you will simply be dropped. if you dont make money for the advertisers why would you be kept - its only logical.

My recommendation is namedrive. Goldkey has an interesting system where you can host a feed of the parked page on your site thus utilizing already existing links to your site + it makes optimizing the page more of a hand craft. GK's CP is pretty hard to work with.

Also sometimes a Private label site is better for certain domains.
I have found some great opportunities in hosting, shopping and information categories. So if you have good domains for those categories that would be a good alternative. See them at www.PrivateLabelHQ.com

good luck!

1 click out of 9 views in 3 days is pretty good.

Sedo also gives you the option to optimize your keyword so 'more' relevant ads show on your site rather than generic or unrelated ads. That should invite more clicks.

Hi,

It is a good revenue for the first 3 days. But, Namedrive offers more pay per click and visits are also high.

yeah NameDrive is great. Many great options which slightly different features. Some have better looking sites but not as targeted ads. Others the opposite. ND has limited templates but great targeted ads. Each service has their pros and cons but overall thats my favorite. Most parking sites take small portfolios anyway but I do believe that fabs and domainspas BIG portfolio claims are for real... Never hurts to try.

For some reason certain names just do better elsewhere. One should re-park the bottom 10-20% - BUt only after good optimization. (even though DomainHops optimization doesnt seem to make them perform ANY better)

And also after long enough time. Min 30 days.

ok its now 48 views, 4 clicks, revenue 2.65 for all the domains. Is that good? one of the clicks was only worht 0.05! hardly seems wothwhile!

think im gonna leave them for a month and assess it then, maybe move some after that

I will go for namedrive.com. They use the same advertiser source as Sedo (Google’s AdSense) but namedrive have lower margin (I switched my names from Sedo to NameDrive and my average PPC increased a 20%)
