Noomle or Whypark???

[March2008]

The original question was

Should I give Noomle a shot? Is anyone happy with their service?

I answered the question by providing why I liked them and what problems I found with them.

I purposely avoided mentioning my experience with WhyPark or comparing one against the other because there are vested interests here. Whypark would not have been pleased with my comments.

Bad mouthing the opposition in an attempt to make your own company look good is just bad form.

In terms of revenue from my sites. I'm now earning 4.5 times as much with Noomle. That fact cannot be disputed, no matter how silly their name is!

personally id prefer noomle just because whypark is $100 upfront for 100 domains. for a start i dont have 100 domains and i also dont have $100 to spend upfront.

So obviously noomle is my choice for now until ive developed my own system around how i like to develop my own websites.

Really Whypark is free for unlimited sites/domains (with an optional small monthly fee for premium features such as RSS and newsletters).

trader i didnt know that?

the last time i looked at the site and spoke to support the only option i was given was $100 for 100 credits and nothing else.

WhyPark no longer charge like this. As trader said, you can get premium features such as RSS and Newsletters for $25 a month.

I am using parked.com, whypark.com and noomle.com.

Certainly parked.com is best when you have right domain name. Between whypark and noomle, noomle is clearly the winner.

In terms of branding, I absolutely disagree.

Just look at google, goo gle, goog le, go ogle. So not much there in a name either, but is now "600 pound gorrila of the web". Noomle has been steadily progressing.

I would never ever stay away just because of the name - in business keep your eyes open and you may find something which otherwise you would have missed and repented later.

Just my 2 cents.

Hi Sid,

I don't think Noomle has put in or will put in over $300 million in advertising their name "google" (which incidentally actually means something but spelled as "googol"). What does "noomle" mean, even spelled differently?

But I digress... how well does noomle provide you with relevant content? I'm not really familiar with it, but I'd like to see someone's example of a good website made with noomle.

cheers

I added my Amazon affiliate links to my whypark sites, such as:
japanesetranslations.org

I prefer Whypark to Noomle, because at Noonmle you have to create your own content, whereas at Whypark, they provide the content for you and the articles they have are not duplicated at many sites.

For SEO purposes, what directories can I use to provide backlinks to my whypark site?

Kellerman -- you stated it perfectly. Whypark provides the feeds of articles from hundreds of thousands of stories in their database, many that aren't regularly used, depending on your niche. Plus, WhyPark allows easy creation of custompages, which add a lot to mixing up content and preventing "content copy" webpages that SE's don't like.

It cracks me up when I see people posting about "gee, Whypark is just an RSS feed machine with duplicate content across the board" without stating whether they actually add their own original content to the site, like any normal "news feed" website (CNN.com, MSNBC.COM, ABC.com, etc) does. They MIX syndicated content with their own original content. So if you want a COMPLETE website, you need syndicated content relevant to your domain name, but you also need to spend a few hours or dollars getting 10 pages of totally original content too.

As far as directories for backlinks, go to DMOZ for sure, and then hire a good SEO guy to manage/teach you how to do basic SEO procedures. Probably cost you less than $500 for a good lesson and assistance to get started. Pay as you go. I recommend SEMPDX.org for finding the right person, smart, fair, dependable.

How hard was it for you to place those Amazon affiliate banners in your WhyPark templates?

L2 constantly promotes whypark.com at another forum. I suspect he is a staff of whypark.com. I don't like this kind of public promotion.

Dorin,

I'll be nice to you here and tell you the following:

L2 is NOT on the staff at Whypark.com. Since I was the VP of Business Development for Whypark, I can state this categorically. What L2 is, for your info, is a very smart guy who took the outstanding features that Whypark offers its users, and utilized them into powerful revenue generators for his niche of domains, which I believe has to do with "telepresence".

Telepresence has to do with 3D or holographic meeting services and products. I also buy domains in this genre, so I know how valuable his niche is.

Why don't you discuss what your disagreements or problems are with L2 here, or your problems with Whypark, so he, myself and others can answer them for you?

Much success!

[Dorin]

thank you for explanation and good to know you are from whypark.

L2 did attack other companies while promoting whypark. It is not a good style of promotion /competition.

Noomle is new but doing very well. Many other companies are coming out. Good competition can make the progress of the industry. No need to bad mouth each other.

Wish your new company successclick.com successful !

Hi Dorin,

THanks for the kind words. L2 doesn't work for Whypark, but he's a respected member because he knows how to help other Whypark members increase their monetization on their domains parked at Whypark.

My company, Successclick.com, has been in business since 2004, so it's not "new".

If you need any domain assistance, I'm the guy that can tell you how to reach your goals using the best domain services (including mine). If I decide you have a domain that is very valuable, I'll send you to DomainConsultants.com (Adam Strong's company) or you can use my services or Rob Sequins. There are a lot of respectable service that can help you determine if your investments in domains are on the right track.

cheers
