Parked XYZ domains. Is it worth it?

[phaethon]

Hi guys, I have around 60 xyz domains parked on Bodis. They are getting many visits, but no clicks. Should I assume that only domainers check them out? Is it worth it to park XYZ domains? Do you get any clicks on XYZ domains?

I spent more than 8-9 months doing research on parking and thereafter hand reg and acquire many domains. One of my gem (graph shown below) is this two wards XYZ domain which I acquired in February 2021. At that time I was using Bodis as through google analytic I can see the traffic origin and accordingly refine my parking strategy.

This domain was just a coincidence to me and getting exceptional views, clicks & revenue every day consistently. I was curious to know why the EPC was so little $ 0.01 to 0.05 compared to $1-5 as shown in the AdSense and other tools. I asked this question to the Bodis Support team and then they reply blaming me if I am using any software or something to get this extraordinary traffic. I told them that I even don't know if such things exist and acquire this domain based on my 8-9 months of research. Anyway, they told me that your traffic is not quality traffic and therefore you can not use Bodis for parking. It's funny when my more than 200 domains were showing views without any clicks for almost 8 months they do not have any problem but when one of my domains started earning they blocked my account. During that one month period, I earned approx. $12 and nowadays still that one XYZ domain is earning $5-10 per month at another platform. By the way, before this domain, my total earning in more than 8 months at Bodis was less than $12.

Parking is not about SV, CPC or keywords only there are more than 20 critical parameters one has to minutely observe over the period of time and accordingly define their strategy. Also, remember Domainers are the most vulnerable species in the domaining industry just like farmers in the agriculture sector and always depends on these intermediaries therefore in long term better to develop and monetize.

This is based on my personal experience and limited knowledge and I hope it will be useful to you. Best wishes

Bodis is a joke, and they have to fall
They also blocked my account claiming that my traffic is not quality traffic, when the only thing I did was leave the domain with them
But relax because everyone reaps what they sow

Off topic, if the ads shown on Bodis are not relevant to your domain, what can you do?

I fear u wasted 9 months if all u could come up with is worst parking on earth..ie sedo

I think it’s literally the word only, extension has to do with the amount of traffic, quality and country ( clickable cpc) that comes to the domain. @alcy

You could point other domains to the domain and get traffic.

Website could be built out on the domain with particular extension and rank keywords, so many different variables.

.com, net, org, info, io, co is king and xyz because of web3

Off topic, if the ads shown on Bodis are not relevant to your domain, what can you do?

first you need to keep in consideration that a lander with bodis shows ads relevant to the country and the user cache so what you see visiting your domain can't be the same that i can see if i visit it.
After considered this, you may suggest some keywords that you believe are relevant for each of your domain. there is a "manage domains" tab in your bodis account.
the feed will evaluate your keywords and if they accept it they MAY put and try ads that can be relevant with your keywords.
I wrote MAY because sometimes the feed continue to put the ads they believe are more relevant for the coming traffic.

there are domains performing really good on sedo.
Me too i believe that sedo sucks in parking instead i had to change my mind.
Park Logic also rely a lot on sedo parking.

If whois or a registrar shows a domain as being registered, many potential registrants will visit the site...

 

[phaethon]

To sum it up there is not a single domainer that makes any money from parked XTZs, except that guy with that special xyz that Bodis told them it was not legit. Maybe XYZs are not monetized at all on Bodis?

"a shows ads relevant to the country and the user cache"... Do you think or even know if the other parking companies do the same in terms of the cache?
my question, what would be the "common sense" for such a pattern?
Let´s look at a fictive parked cars(dot)com". I have visited and ordered a lot on food delivery services and my cache is full of data for that vertical.
Now after finished that task I would like to buy a used car and go to that fictive cars(dot)com and get there food delivery ads? I guess you understand what I mean.
Wouldn´t be better to anticipate what the user expects and wants when typing in cars(dot)com instead of exploiting his cache? The next thing to cars, if tier1 contents unavailable would be rather "motorbikes", or even "electronics = car audio".... "Food" is worlds away from users´intention to see even if he visited food delivery sites.

 

[ruudbrowens]

And to stay on topic, I´ve made the experience that .xyz is exploited by bidders for their ultra low Epc ROI campaigns.

On the other hand, I personally own a great .xyz for one of my own brands, polycount.xyz

but here it makes 100% common sense to use .xyz while in some other cases it doesn´t suit the keyword very much.

So I personally see 100% common sense for another extensions if they are a perfect match to the keyword,
but only if it makes true sense.

So if you try to build up a folio grabbing some other extensions apart from com than I guess it makes common sense only, when there is a rational reason for that. But it can work! .xyz too.

Yes, it's very probable that google will put at least 1/2 ads (if they are 7 in total) food related.
Google has lot of data, so they know what is better for their pocket.
However, on some domain, without manual/suggested keywords, google does a very bad job.

 

[ruudbrowens]

1. "Google has lot of data, so they know what is better for their pocket."

This would mean: AI + technocracy + suggestion = resulting (eventually) in autosuggestion.
"BOY! YOU DON`T NEED CARS! YOU NEEED MORE FOOD! BELIEVE US!" -- just because car related ads make them some Cents less than food related ads.

2. Yes, it's very probable that google will put at least 1/2 ads (if they are 7 in total) food related.

But this would be a is a contradiction to 1. If I visit porn sites first, my cache is full of Ultra Low CPC data.

Bottom line: Google´s patterns are like a well-kept state secret.

Hi

many discredit sedo based on what others might say, but i know better


imo...

 

[phaethon]

I'm discouraged by Sedo parking pages design. They look really bad..
The mobile version looks okay, but the PC version is outdated. Who knows, one man's treasure is another man's rubbish

Didn´t know that you can make any money with not adblocker ready 2-click-landers todays.
I guessed the only monetization that works todays is redirection to premium advertisers or competition based on who bids more for a request.

Hi

what looks "bad" to you, may convert for the visitor

some tend to put their own prejudices, preferences, etc. into it, rather than accepting for what it is.

back in the day, domainsponsor had the plainest ppc pages, but the conversion rates were high.

it all depends on what the visitors see when they get there
and what they were looking for, before they arrived.

imo...

Is Sedo better than Bodis in terms of revenue?

Hi

some domains, may do better on other platforms-
and you, will have to try them all, to see which performs best for each one of your domains.
