    Lightbulb Parked, Sedo, Namedrive or Fabulous?

    Hi. I want to know Your experience with all these parking companies.
    I have found lately blog with only one post comparing these 4 but I'm still not sure (and exactly same TOPIC).
    I love Parking and my new revenue comparing to sedo, every domain goes higher. Is it with all domains or am I just lucky. Do sedo, Fabulous and Namedrive offer better conversion and PPC for different types of domain and can they beat revenue. This blog I found lately describes that every company is better in anything else but I'm more then happy with Parked and I think Sedo can't even touch it.

    Not a spam

    In my experience with these companies Parked has been the best for about 90% of my domains.

    Fabulous is definitely the best for gambling related domains and also does pretty good for some adult related domains as well.

    sedo is supposed to be good if you have domains with international traffic but I've never had much luck with sedo myself.

    I haven't parked at Namedrive for a while but I would say they are a little better than Sedo at least.

    Thanx, Finally I see why some people love Fabulous (which is very well for most domains), I see plenty of people have huge poker & casino portfolio.

    My limited number of gambling names are not a big reason I like Fab only because they do not get much traffic so I don't see much gambling revenue but they are great if you get traffic and clicks.

    Parked does have an edge in some ways such as permitting custom content and your own links, a vast number of very easy to use excellent templates, and allowing framed forwarding (a big plus as far as I am concerned) whereas Fab only permits DNS change and no content of your own.

    It's difficult to say which one is best for most domains and I would judge Fabulous.com and Parked.com roughly equal in some aspects and they being the 2 top ppc firms.

    P.S. I must admit to not liking Namedrive's reports, ease of use and control panel that much.

    As I say, You never know Only way is maybe to give others a shot. I've heard people using NDrive for czech and slovakia domains that they do better comparing to Parked.com. But don't know the traffic stats :(

    Damn I have dropped domain which previously contained some religious blog. And it has some 30-40% CTR since I've parked it. I just love Parked with their awesome keyword relevant ADs.

    Namedrive
    then
    Parked.

    Namedrive = my domain revenue has been steady and constant
    Parked = my ppc has fallen and revenue has gone down, but constantly the same visitors

    It's mostly matter of traffic origin. Namedrive is better for european and eastern traffic, Parked has superior PPC for US/UK/CA ... traffic. Parked got nice CTR if You tune keywords and landing page look.

    I think it is important to test your domains at a variety of parking programs as no provider will perform best for all of your domains. You will find that some do better with Parking company A, some names will perform better with Parking company B, and so on.

    What I would advise, is to first run your portfolio at one provider for at least a month, this gives you a good base in which you can compare stats to. Then pick at least 5 different providers (a mix of both Yahoo and Google) and test all domains for a minimum 2 weeks.

    After testing across the different providers, compare stats on a domain by domain basis. Then move domains to the provider that performed best for each.

    If you are interested in testing some domains on our platform, feel free to drop me a PM/email.

    Cheers,

    Mike

    Mike. I understand what You mean

    But You know, there are some companies that almost steal money from domain owners -> like sedo parking for example with theirs lowest PPC in industry and miserable CTR.

    And there are companies that works quite well for almost any domains -> Like Parked, Fabulous, Domainsponsor,Hitfarm or works for plenty of domains, for example works awesome for eastern traffic like Namedrive.

    I would suggest to check boards to find best parking companies and just compare those.
    BTW Fabulous, Domainsponsor and especially Hitfarm has high approval criteria
    So I'm at Parked and it works fine for me. But I know there might not be significant difference comparing to Fabulous or Domainsponsor but You know, some people that are quite new don't have enough type-in and have mostly expired traffic.

    Mike,

    Thanks so much for answering my PM's.

    You explained things rather succinctly and I appreciate it.

    Will be in contact.
