Domain parking - any experts here? - GoFuckYourself.com

Trax · 06-05-2012, 01:43 PM

I am looking to pick someones brain on domain parking (mainstream but also adult).
I have the feeling that parking is slowly going to shit, now with Google exiting on Adsense for Domains... am I right?
I have read that revenues have gone down steadily. Can anyone confirm this?
Please share your experiences... if anyone has a few minutes to talk about Sedo I would greatly appreciate that.

Parking has been slowly going to shit for a number of years now. The only things I ever remember hearing about Adsense for Domains were about how horrible the payouts were. If your thinking of using Sedo to park your domains I would say your probably better off using Bodis or Voodoo instead. Sedo just doesn't seem to pay as well as they do.

Tested them all many times portfolio wide. I'd have to say Bodis FTW as of late if going with just one. Templates suck but revenues were consistently good portfolio wide. There are a few services which will "optimize" your names to various parking programs which will ideally earn more. I haven't used any of those as of yet. Parking has never been the main earner for me. Back when fabulous was paying out a fortune for casino traffic things were good but not much money to be earned there anymore.

got any personal experience data maybe? just to get an idea? how much has it been going down the past years on average all else equal? 10% p.a., 15%? 20%? driven by what? surfer eduacation ie not clicking on parked domain ads or decline of SE traffic or what?
thx

I got close to 100USD month with some mainstream domains I parked in opensrs a few years back if it helps.

pimpmaster9000 · 06-07-2012, 08:48 AM

Its dead...

Am dropping around 1000 domains this year...they all used to make me nice money...invest in something else...

BareBacked · 06-07-2012, 09:56 AM

it went to shit about 3-4 years ago when skenzo died.

Trax · 06-07-2012, 12:27 PM

wow... anyone else willing to share a few numbers? I am trying to determine the trend here... also i wonder why google dropped their adsense for domains? I mean... they are still in Sedos feed afterall... any ideas?

About 2 years ago I parked about 50 domains at GoDaddy. Some porn names some mainstream. The mainstream were knock off names of big companies. I'm surprised that the companies didn't complain. They were sites that get probably 1,000,000 visitors per day. So I never pushed the sites, just wanted to see if parking worked. GoDaddy charged me $24 for parking the sites. I think I made about $10. Didn't even bother to collect. Closed the corporation and the the domains. Plus out the money for the domain names.

It's dead. Write a script to quickly generate minisites and use that instead.

Yea, one the Ask feed went away, there went parking. I have no idea WHY that is but it seems it's been completely downhill since then. We now focus completely on sales and don't even really bother with parking anymore.

LiveDose · 06-07-2012, 10:28 PM

Wouldn't invest a lot of time or energy in parking these days. It is a nice temp measure while you create landing pages or a site.

We have seen revenues drop 70%+ over the last 5 years.

The same traffic to parked domains today probably would have made you about three times as much 4 or 5 years ago. Lower CTR%, less $ per click on average nowadays.

TheSquealer · 06-08-2012, 04:40 AM

Not sure why people would think that a parked adult domain paying .05/click or more with a 10-50% ctr is reasonable when you can buy that same traffic from an adult broker for .02/1000 clicks because that's exactly what its worth.

It's always been a business driven by advertiser ignorance and abuse. That couldn't last forever.

And how are all these "adult domain parking" systems going? Pimproll, hosted tubes etc? You don't hear any success stories for a domain parking system thats forced to rely on the true value of the traffic do you?

So true. The "REAL VALUE" is so low
