    Anyone on DNF use Domainpark?

    I would like to know if it's worth considering since they require so much traffic that I would have to switch all of my domains to qualify.

    Do you get reporting finally?

    How does the revenue compare with Adwords or DS??

    Is the interface to customize the landing page easy to work with?

    Thanks in advance!

    I use it for about 1500 parked domain names.

    No reporting yet - and this is my biggest complaint. It makes it difficult to price domain names for sale when I don't know if I might be selling my biggest money maker.

    But the checks are considerably bigger than the other services I've tried, so I'm still with DomainPark. When I switched from DomainSponsor a little less than a year ago, my results roughly doubled. (It's possible DS results have improved since.)

    There is no longer any user-configurable customization of landing pages. Any changes have to be made by Google. Also they have new stricter rules. For instance, I used to replace some domain names with keywords I knew fit the traffic better, but Google complained and asked that I send only the actual URL of the site visited. In some cases their optimization is much worse than with my keywords, so it costs me and them money. But still, the overall results are worth it for me.

    If Google does not add per-domain reporting very soon I will have to look at other options.

    Thanks for the great input chatcher...

    I received an email from my info request and they said they were interested in working with me and wanted me to complete a final form.

    However, all I did was reply back and ask about reporting --they never responded. Haha. I suppose your answer is why. There still is none.

    I know I have the same problems with my domains I use with adwords. I make good revenue from them, but I have only a vague idea of which ones and how much. How can a publisher be expected to grow revenue without reporting?? Surely Google must understand this dilemma...?

    For that reason, I always switch a domain using adwords to DS to see the results before I sell it.

    That way, I can try to judge my drop in revenue on adwords vs. my revenue with DS. Unfortunately, though, that takes time for DS's page to optimize and give a fair value.

    What was Google's minimum traffic requirement? I asked them what it was, but all I got back was that my traffic was enough (but I listed all my sites and didn't really want to switch all of them)...

    I agree with pretty much all chatcher says.

    >> I would like to know if it's worth considering since they require so
    >> much traffic that I would have to switch all of my domains to qualify.

    You have to switch ALL your domains however much traffic you have. Part of the rules.

    Hey stuff,

    No, they're different. Domainpark is Google's park program that they acquired when they bought it from Oingo.
