So, what does a 'parking company' actually do for you?
1) They have free use of your domain name
2) They have free rein with your hard earned traffic
3) They collect PPC monies generated by the above
In return, they provide what?
1) A few templates
2) Bare bones hosting
I find it quite odd and quite curious that the dn owner can't include any type of tracking. Which would be a very simple piece of script. A simple 1x1 pixel image would easily do the trick.
Hosted mini-sites rule IMHO. It requires some work, much more than just reging a dn for $8 bucks and parking it.
So, what does a 'parking company' actually do for you? That you can't do better for yourself?
So you list your name for sale with one of the 'big dogs', and park it there. Is that where end users look for domain names? Do they make any attempt to market the names?
Do a search on,
"the best <your choice> domains"
"where can I find <your choice> domain names?"
"<your choice> domain names"
"I want to buy an <your choice> domain name"
You'll see how aggressive their marketing is. Cherry pickers, nothing but cherry pickers. Fabulous will turn up on occasion, SEDO even less, all the rest are 5-10-50 pages deep in SERP's.
Just curious, what's the attraction? , inquiring minds want to know.
