Why Park Successes??? - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

**Doc Com** · 05-12-2009, 07:39 PM

Before I make any change at all with any domain -

- and since it has been a couple of weeks now since Why Park has teamed up with Parked-

- and since Why Park now offers a free service-

- instead of reading press releases and "testimonies", I would love to hear from members who have actually used and tried this service and get your take on it.

Also, please include who you parked with/monitized with previously.

The "free" service is not so free since you are forced to run a very obvious ad so WhyPark can get new customers which detracts a lot from the sites imo and is harmful to the visitor experience because it shouts to visitors the site is about domains and domainers. There are other negatives too with the free sites including limited numbers of targeted templates.

you can remove the link by going to the “Layout” section for your domain and removing the [[whypark]] placeholder.

How much do you expect to get for free?

Just remember if you have any kind of web design skills you can change the entire look of your Whypark site.

There just some of my domains at Whypark. Now you have to understand that I haven't done much customization with my sites so I have had only moderate success.

What can you expect for free, but, problem with such services are duplicate content
which is big no no.

**Doc Com** · 05-12-2009, 09:24 PM

Thanks, this is the type of feedback I want to hear, the pluses and minuses.

It may not want to be what why park wants to hear but we need to be real.

Not correct. You can't access the layout area with the free acct so that can not be done except if you upgrade to the monthly fee acct.

Is this the $10 per month option?

I just checked the site. You are correct they are making new customers pay a monthly fee to have access to the HTML code. Dumb idea if you ask me. Must be because I paid $100 under their old system that they let me have access to it.

It makes it hard for me to recommend their service when they do shit like this.

With free account clicking on customization button I receive following message

Your Account Does Not Support Layout Customization. You must upgrade to the Enhanced or Managed subscription tier to have access to the CSS and HTML code for complete customization.

**Doc Com** · 05-13-2009, 09:51 AM

I appreciate all the input.

Having to pay a fee for flexibility is no big deal to me.

If it performs, it performs.

If it does not perform better, then there is a problem.

All boils down to content and keywords.

If I can control both then it is all on me make a name/site perform.

Plus, I am not sure how much "effort" would be put in to managing my account.

Why park actually sucks - I tried it about 6 months ago - moved some good domains into it and after an initial few weeks of revenue - the traffic just went down along with the revenues.

I am not at all happy with their service (and I paid $100).

**lotk.com** · 08-10-2009, 10:46 PM

I have to agree that I hardly make anything parking domains with why park, but I have made several sales after people contact me through why park. The sales definitely outweigh the fact that I'm not making much parking the domains.

**floyd777** · 08-10-2009, 10:50 PM

Yea - over the past couple of years I have tried everything adsense and whypark - with over 300 domains, bringing more than 40 to 50K uniques - I've never managed to make more than $300 in a month and whypark was definitely the worst of it.
