How much should I be making? How much do others make?

Hello

I am pretty new to domain names and ppc. I have started collecting domain names and now have about 31 of them, and I make about 1-3 US dollars a day in total. They are all parked on afternic (with either FAB or DS). Is this good or bad or normal compared to what others are getting?

To give you an idea, here are my names:

Only about 4 of them seem make revenue! I have no idea if this is normal or not!

Thanks

Zach

unless its a brandable "hold" domain that is sellable, then any domain that is not making at least $1 a month (which gives you more than parking your money in the bank) is not worth keeping.

Well how much would you expect those domains to be making under normal conditions?

that sounds pretty good to me.

As long as a domain pays for itself, it's usually worth keeping.

it is really tought to say what is worth keeping... a pretty good rule of thumb is if they are paything for themselves then keep them... if they are not then drop them... but it also depends on how you are going about promoting them... and what type of SEO you have .... just to be starting off and be making 1-3 dollars a day... or 365-1095 a year is pretty good... find out what you are doing to the domains that are making money and try to do the same for the others.. just dont get caught clicking your own names you will lose everything you have earned... also try to research adsense and other paying programs.. to see which would be best paying... read the forums and save yourself some hard work as most of these people have already been there and done that and can offer you alot of advice

but it also depends on how you are going about promoting them

Promoting parked domain to get more parking earnings ? Thats a very big NO-NO-NO, every parking company will close account immediately if they find it out.
