Hi, I'm one of those that use to choose the hard way, so I buy domains with the intention of developing them and as you may imagine, I forget or I don't have the time to dedicate to most of them. Hence, it would be nice to park them instead of having them sleep on my servers.
I've used one very known parking system, won't mention it not to step on anyone's toes, but I found out they cheat A LOT on clicks. I mean like 1/10 of the real clicks. I tested it myself clicking on ads, I tested it by changing domains from my server to them and they "magically" lose traffic to incredible levels, the most obnoxious case was a domain getting around 15 unique typeins a day for 4 years, change it to this parking/auction service and all of the sudden got less than 20 clicks... a month. Changed it back to my server an back to normal. What can I say.... either way, I've sold (mostly developed) domains for around 250 or 300k (combined and in an 8 or 9 years timeframe, never had a really expensive domain TBH) so they had some value, but after 4 years with around 200 domains parked with them I finally got my first whooping payment: 20 euros. That's right, according to them, each of my domains gets an average of 0.025 euros per year.
So, as you must see, I'm kinda burnt with parking, then again, even if they shave it's better to get some money than nothing, and on the other hand I see people around here and DNF likes these sites' stats which can be easily tricked by hitbotting them. Maybe I'm too honest or too dumb, anyway I'm willing to hear recomendations to test some parking services. As I said, I won't name the service I'm in, after all it's also my fault to be with them out of laziness, but enough is enough
Sorry about the rant, just felt like it
but anyway, any help will be greatly appreciated. I signed at domainsponsors last week but they didn't even get back to me, maybe they're slow, maybe they don't want my domains, I don't know.
btw, sites with the ability of adding massive amounts of domains would be great, my portfolio is around 400 inactive domains right now and I'm too lazy to go one by one with them, but I guess most sites (if not all) allow that. And if there's any service where users can modify the page (or parts of it) to increase SEO and exposure, that would be fantastic
