| you are 100% correct about parking - a disgrace the whole industry. I have tried them all and am dissatisfied with all of them. Right now I think Google's legal problems are really grinding things down too.
So what next? OK you tried the lucky dip approach - I think you've got to do a bit more. Why not start with your top 5 domains - nicest/highest UVs/clear targeting - then pretend you have just 5 domains. Build 5 different ideas - see which one works best and build on that. You may need to evolve several different models as different markets seem to have different customer urgency. In vacations/travel/holidays - people seem to click anything. In finance/mortgages/loans - more choosy. Try CPM and PPC mixed together. Once you have a page that is working then you can start pointing all the related domains to a version of it. I tried all this once - it is a lot of work - and at that time parking was still paying well so I abandoned it. You are probably not alone these days ..
Don't feel you have to develop all your domains - it will slow you down. 5 sites which work well is better than 100 mediocre ones. Plus the knowledge you gain from the 5 that are working will be invaluable. |
