After 5 years - I finally left parked.com

[DomainingCom]

Frank told me one needs to make a minimum of $4K monthly of type-in to have some chances to qualify.
The main idea of InternetTraffic.com is to build a parking service without crap so the traffic quality is high and this lead to a higher revenue.
If you don't qualify to park names with Frank at least you should benefit of the "collateral damages":
Top domainers will have more money to buy your domains like in the good past years ... LOL

The decline of parked.com will be interesting to watch:

lol check out that link.. Parked traffic is dropping like anything!!

lol check out that link.. Parked traffic is dropping like anything!!

From 3/20 to 4/20 alone, traffic has nearly dropped in half... Cant say I'm surprised.

parking companies, or to be precise Parked.com will be able to sustain this drop? I doubt..

[irongloves]

Parking should only be a medium before development.

Development is the goal of all domains.

This should be the motto for any domainer, well said.

You can have the best user interface on the planet but when your earning near nothing, the interface is irrelevant.... It's almost like going to Disneyland during a power outage.

I think there will be mergers among parking companies in order to consolidate sources, removing competitors, and being able to offer more revenue to domainers.

Companies like sedo (which has been paying sh*t for years even to their SedoPro members) will survive because of their domain selling/brokering service.

I dont think anybody parks at sedo, except for newbies.. pls correct if I'm wrong there!

There are over 85,000 domainers on DNForum doing everything from buying domains, selling domains, learning about domains and discussing domains. Take a minute and Register.

Adam, perhaps a little update is in order for the main tagline.

I used to have european ccTLDs domain names which got their "best" (sic!) at SedoPro.
The same domain on sedo was paying like €0.12 while on NameDrive I could get like US$0.04...

They paid more than others for domain names in .de, .es, .it, and I tried most of them back at time.
And for sedopro users they had many options to customize your landing so that I had an average of 35% CTR on my domains.

I have decided to move all my domains away from parked after 5 long years.

And doesnt the air smell nice and fresh out here now?

[actnow]

Early indications show traffic is up 25% - 30% but revenue is up over 200%

I assume the numbers are starting to level off.
What are your findings?


(I ask because I just looked at my PPC numbers.
I can't figure out if it is Bing/Google robbing me or the ppc companies.)

No change to Traffic or Clicks? Maybe you need to see your niche keywords rate, try to use keywordspy.com

Where is this tagline?

My numbers for overall traffic and revenue have stayed consistant the whole time with internet traffic.

Fixed, thanks!

No problem. But read back in this thread a bit to see why I suggested it. I was thinking more along the line of mentioning development, monetization, etc as the market is beginning to change it's focus on other things besides strictly sales.

[actnow]

Adam,
2 weeks ago, you said your traffic and revenue have been consistent.
Consistent with InternetTraffic? Or, consistent with your experience with Parked?

You might be too diplomatic to answer this but are you pleased with your revenue with IT?


Frank's service is growing more and more every week.

2 weeks ago, he had approx. 200k domains under his umbrella.
Not bad considering his service was only 6 weeks old and also selective.

He is now up to 376k.
He picked up 28k from Smartnames yesterday and 10k from Above.

FastPark/NameDrive is now down to 380k.
Trafficz is now down to 170k.
Parked is now down to 414k.
Smartnames/NameMedia is now down to 303k.
I'm sorry to say, I suspect some people will be losing jobs shortly.

Frank - Great job.

Has the fact that InternetTraffic IPs getting blacklisted by some anti-virus software like malwarebytes etc, not caused a dip in revenue?

The problem I see is that you have too many domains and not enough unique content. The only people making money are those with STRONG typo or Typein domain names.

Adam can you give a rough estimate of how much better revenue wise? Or even one avaergae example/name stats.

Revenue is at least 300% better than parked was when I left parked.com

also, sedo must have lost quite a bit of parking revenue as well from internettraffic.
