Parking question

[moped]

I recently registered salary.cc through Moniker, I decided to park it with them through taffic club, I changed the DNS as instructed, and the name now is parked with a nice little web page of salary type links. A few days later traffic club emailed me and declined my application, but the domain is still parked? Who is getting the click revenue if there is any.

well
what most likely has happened is that if your domain is pointed to their nameservers it will show a parked page

in a case such as yours, i am pretty sure that traffic club themselves would recieve the revenue, as there is no associated account in which to credit the clicks to

hope this solves your question

I would assume that Traffic Club is getting the revenue. You need to change the dns if you don't want it parked there. Sign up with another company and change the dns to theirs. You could try Sedo, Parked, NameDrive to name a few...

Thanks for your advice

So what you are saying is that if you point it to a site that refuses you ultimately then you should point it to another site immediately so they won't get paid for the clicks.

Does this happen often? Also why would they refuse someone parking their site with them. What would be the types of reasons so we can avoid it in future?

1) Yes!

2) This is why you need to make sure the parking service you would like to use is also willing to accept your domain(s) prior to pointing it/them to the service. Reasons for not accepting domain(s) could include:

• the "quality" of the domain or its topic - weak quality = weak traffic = weak CTR/revenues

• domain(s) topic may not fit the "standards" of the parking service (they may not want gambling, "adult", possible trademark infringement, alcohol, or ??? topics)

• not worth their trouble to handle a small portfolio that will receive "minimal" earnings - the old 80/20 rule

• the parking service may not be able to effectively monetize traffic from certain geographic regions

Hopefully others can add to this list...

Honestly you are better of not parking your domain at all and instead trying to build it up. You have a decent domain and it could be worth way more if you spend a little bit of time building something with it. It's really as easy as ABC ... I'll explain.

a) Get real hosting for your domain like from the guys at www.ProLinuxWebHosting.com. You don't need anything fancy, just one of those chepo $8 packages.

b) Think of 20 related words to your domain and build up content (text based articles would work) around those keywords. Maybe run a blog about salaries and what jobs pay what, etc. You can get free blog software at wordpress.com. Just google how to SEO your wordpress blog and you are good to go.

c) Ask to trade links with other websites of a similar nature to get your page rank up.


Your goal is to build up the Salary.CC brand. Give it some time. Get your site established and into some of the search engines. Be patient and in time you will have a site with some decent traffic, some page rank and a domain that is now worth 2 or 3 or even 4 times more than it was just sitting there parked.

How much type in traffic do you really think that domain gets? Let's be real - probably not much. But with the slighest amount of effort your domain could really really rise in value.

Why dont use just get the domain instead of parking it.
