Whypark good or bad

[Kevin A]

I don't have the time to read through every post in the whypark thread so I'll do a simple poll. I'm a newbie to domains but I've recently sold enough that I can consider the $100 fee. I know, most of you will say, develop with adsense, but quite frankly I don't have the time, the know how or the desire. So my questions are....Will it pay for itself with a few good domains? Is it better then regular parking? Is it good for a newbie? Is it easy to use? Does buying original content really help? last but perhaps the most important question, does it increase domain value?

I don't mean to be rude, but if you don't have time to do the research and read what all of us have already written (at length) I don't know that it much matters - you might as well just do it, and whatever happens happens. Why should we write all that out again? The information is there if you want to read up on it.

very true. I just figured I'd ask because I have specific questions.

Really not the way to start a thread. Cant have a new thread for every person that doesnt feel like reading

If your intrested you should be happy to read the whypark thread, as each company thread here has alot of info

Ok, I just read every post in the whypark thread and hardly of my questions were answered. Can I get some help now, please?

The next step is to ask your questions in the whypark thread:


Will it pay for itself with a few good domains?
Is it better then regular parking?
Is it good for a newbie?
Is it easy to use?
Does buying original content really help?
Does it increase domain value?

Dont expect a clear yes or no answer, goodluck

Given the worst possible scenario of a de-index, or loss of your Ad network....

I STILL would have sites that: are allowed backlinks (backlinks = traffic, traffic = money), they're still standing for typo's (best case for most parking companies), they still have relevant content ("parked" companies have none), they have a Whypark Feed (ie. if you lose Adsense or Yahoo from either fraud, or click bombing, etc.), and on every Whypark site - there's a link to "Buy this Site", where you don't give anybody a commission to sell your site. ("Parking" companies usually get a percentage of any sale). All that for a $1 a domain, ONE TIME charge on 100 domains (Where can you get a website hosted for a buck for life?). Remember, this is a worst-case scenario at Whypark….

I challenge anybody, I mean anybody to shoot a silver bullet through that last paragraph. Any takers?

Hi Lumpy since you are so intensely challenging people, ill give it a shot.


"I STILL would have sites that: are allowed backlinks (backlinks = traffic, traffic = money)"

This means the name has traffic and traffic makes money when parked. I Dont need whypark for these names

"they're still standing for typo's (best case for most parking companies)"

Once again this means the name is getting traffic (type in) and traffic makes money when parked. I Dont need whypark for these names

"they still have relevant content ("parked" companies have none)"

You can add custom content to a parked.com page

"they have a Whypark Feed (ie. if you lose Adsense or Yahoo from either fraud, or click bombing, etc.)"

Cutting my $$$ in half using this feed is not appealing.

on every Whypark site - there's a link to "Buy this Site", where you don't give anybody a commission to sell your site

Give me a break, not a relevant point. I get emails from people though parked.com pages, never a charge, most serious people get your email address though whois anyway. Plus if you use escrow in a private deal there a fee there.

(Where can you get a website hosted for a buck for life?).

Sure a buck for life is great, but do you have to use their template, their programs, their system?

The whypark concept is sound, But Only If It Gets Index!!!!!!! Whypark really should shine for names that are the "hand reg" type that get zero traffic and need alot of index help. And if they cant get that index help then it really blows a hole in the whypark boat to me.

About the "indexing" issue:

just the fact that its happening to whypark WIN=everyone else lol

backlink issue, you can have backlinks that existed before you aquired the domain name and park it.

I have names that are parked that make more $$ than they could with adsense. But you got to have alot of experice with both ends of this to get a good feel for it (not just looking at an adwords account and saying "boy i pay alot"). Your a little too fixed on sedo

60/40 split with WP Feed , not even an argument that blows

Really very little people will stumble on your whypark name and want to buy it, you pay sedo $50 buck or 10% because you get something in return! To be on a site that has an extremly high amount of serious buyers, oh are you going to do a deal without escrow?

Im not one of these people that go in these threads saying whypark sucks! So dont treat me like: "What say you Johname?" You are the one saying whypark is better even with a de-index problem. While I say take away the index and you let most of the air out of the balloon. Other can coment on this now, im done. Ill take custom websites/parking, thankyou for your time lump lol
