April 28, 2009 -- Parked.com, a leading domain parking company, announced today it has acquired WhyPark, a domain development company. The purchase creates synergies between the two companies by combining WhyPark’s strength in developing traffic with Parked.com’s competitive advantage in monetizing traffic. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Parked.com’s acquisition of WhyPark offers several advantages for WhyPark customers including a new premium top-tier feed for offering the highest revenue effective immediately. WhyPark customers will also receive:

• Keyword selection expertise to maximize revenue and click-through rate (CTR)
• Experienced staff to optimize domain names for maximum revenue
• Payment twice a month
• Payment options for PayPal, direct deposit, check and international wire
• 10% referral programs

WhyPark (www.whypark.com), an innovator in the domain development space, recently launched a rapid site development platform which allows its customers to create custom sites in minutes, earn revenue through flexible opportunities including cost-per-action (CPA) and cost-per-click (CPC), and attract search engines, advertisers and visitors. WhyPark's suite of premium services is also available for the highest level of content development and SEO for the more advanced domain name investor. In a recent Domain Name Wire survey, WhyPark was voted the best parking alternative.

“Domainers are looking for new options and services to help increase their ROI,” said Donny Simonton, President of Parked Technology Services. “The WhyPark purchase offers new such opportunities. The combination of Parked.com’s proprietary technology and WhyPark’s rapid site development will offer immediate unmatched added value to WhyPark clients. WhyPark’s domain development technology will also be integrated into Parked.com’s services in the coming months providing new services for Parked.com clients. This is a definite win for Parked.com customers.”

WhyPark Founder and President, Craig Rowe will remain with WhyPark and continue to be very integral in the future development of WhyPark.
“The WhyPark acquisition is fantastic for current and future WhyPark customers,” stated Craig Rowe. “Backed by the financial strength as well as the technology and capability of Parked.com, greater opportunities are now available for WhyPark customers. I am excited and confident with the future of WhyPark.”

WhyPark clients will continue to utilize their existing administrative interface. No changes will be required by current WhyPark clients.

Holy cow. I just checked my WP account and seem to have made 3 bucks this month. I had actually stopped checking my WP account. Got a click of $1.79 on the 20th. Awesome! This is just what WP needed. Congrats on the acquisition Donny:)
