Parked revenue

terryhenry · Nov 29, 2008

I have just parked a load of domains for the first time and dont have a clue what to expect revenue-wise.
Obviously it is dependent on the domian name however would anyone be prepared to give me a domain name and the parking revenue you receive to give me a steer?
For info all my domains fulfill the following criteria:
all .co.uk's
2-4 words
>10,000 exact matches in Google's keyword tool
most are recently registered
Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm not earning much from my parked pages, so I'm turning them all in to single page sites with Amazon stores on them via a frame on the page, I stayed up all last night doing some, they are now in my sig, surely the odd few Adsense clicks here and there will earn me more than parking, which are just a few € cents each so far.

I only started buying domains this month and parked them straight away after purchase, I have had 329 unique views and 14 clicks which earnt me € 0.50 in revenue.

The bottom line is, if your domains do not get type-in traffic or have existing back links then you will probably earn very little by parking them.

The new google keyword tool is handy if you are looking at developing the domains into high ranking sites but it gives you no real indication of type-in traffic (unlike overture, which is now dead) and should definitely not be relied on to buy domains for parking.

Its dependant on traffic! If they are new regd names that have not been regd before they will have no traffic so no revenue...If you have been lucky enough to register a 'type in' domain then it may get traffic.

My CTR varies from 5-40%, the EPC is dependant on the sector. Dont expect to make a lot or ANYTHING from parked new reg domains.

If they are a future investment and you dont expect them to sell quickly in the current climate then consider developing one or two of the better names to sell as sites with traffic.
