I do better elsewhere. Ted and I had a meeting last year at domainfest and he set up several of my names on their system they did the whole thing made about 3 bucks on 10 names. As per our agreement I will leave them until domainfest in feb but I am not seeing anything from it. Was doing better at parked.com

I have some names with them. Their shops are good. Gets some amount here and there. But the normal parking is not that good. Didn't make much. But my names over there are also not of high quality though.

I have some names that I would like to place there. Mainly keyword product domains. But they make it sound like you almost have to qualify to work with them. Not sure if it is worth the trouble. Do they allow you to use productkeyword.info's?

Guess I just need to email an account exec but I don't like the language of their advertising.

What do you think?

it seems that they automatically decline you when you try to set up a store. I had to email my account manager and she over ruled the initial status and let me set up a store. I have been with them for about a month now and have less than a buck!
So well see how it goes - if not then ill try something else

its pretty funny you mentioned their lack of customer support - I recently wrote an article on my blog about their customer service and immediately got an email from their director.

Also - SmokinJoe - yes I am pretty sure you can open an Ecomm store with a .info domain as long as it is keyword specific.. I currently have a "protein shake" and "detox kit" ecomm store.

I might take the rest of my domains elsewhere - I made about a few bucks a month.

before the yahoo/bing deal I was pretty happy, lately though I haven't been happy with yahoo feeds at all, thinking about dusting off my sedo, namedrive, fabulous, domain sponsor etc... google feed accounts. Would try adsense for domains as well but no sales links on the pages kills that idea.
