This question has got me stumped.

Hi,

I have always been wondering about this question when I began domaining. How do really obscure domains generate revenue, when they don't receive type-in traffic? What i'm trying to say is, how do domain names that you wouldn't normally search for in a search engine or receive type in traffic for, receive revenue through parking or traffic at all?? Like how would a domain name like superduperloans.com (example) generate income?

Thanks

By developing only.

You can develop it as a Blog, Forum, Store, Info website, etc..

Then you should start marketing it by PPC traffic, Seo optimizations, Paid Traffic (incl. links on other related websites) , etc..

You don't have to use all these marketing techniques at once but they are the common ones.

I would think the obscure names were once websites and dropped or the domainers buy traffic through arbitrage , or they advertise which isnt allowed by most parking companies

Good question bizcorp. I own quite a few short but obscure domains.

However, I prefer to refer to them as my brandable domains! That's more optimistic.

I've had them parked for a month, and that $10.12 I earned isn't going to cut it. So I guess it's develop or sell.

I'm going to look into using whypark.com. I believe they charge a one time fee and will add new content to your sites every day. Something I don't have time to do.
