Parking is awful.

[Onward]

Is anyone happy with their parking company right now?

I am at the point where I feel I need a different solution. I am at parked.com and I am just tired of feeling like I am getting screwed. I get an estimated earnings everyday and then it gets finalized and I get a third of my estimated earnings. I am so frustrated that I am thinking of coming up with my own solution.

i'm developing onepaged websites with adsense as you speak

There's a great solution right there. Why share revenue with the parking company when you can get a bigger piece of the pie?

Because adsense for domains has a much better CTR than regular contextual adsense.

i wonder if its a good idea to put ads from CJ too? does anybody know if the pay for clicks there too not just a buys ??

CJ operations on a cost-per-action basis and not a cost-per-click basis, so no you won't make money for just sending them traffic. However, not all actions are "buys" and your traffic can make money by filling out lead forms or by performing free signups.

Since its actually about 4 or 5 times better give him 4 cigars :smilewinkgrin:

I had been promoting Cj on my one page landers but it is so hard to get clicks on banners..I have better luck with adsense though which gives me atleast nice return in lieu of my time.

well, volume speaks louder than words, yes? i can bet there are a ton of domainers not happy with parking. so, bypass the parking. start a site, and get enough domains pledged under it, and take it to google. say look- we have tthis many domainers, and this many domains- and we want to deal direct. we want adsense for domain accounts.

i mean, what is the worst they can do, say no? puts us none the worse than we are now, right?

Don't you need something like 500,000 uniques per month to qualify?

dont know- just throwing ideas out on the table

CJ typically performs much better for me on product domains, but you'll need to do a little development first. Pay per action, no pay per click.

For CJ? No. Been a few years since I signed up, but (if I remember right, you just need to have a tax id).

More...After what happened with Ask this year - rest assured that they will drink from every bottle even before they allow the water be sold.

Parked revenue in particular seems to be way down the last month or so. I'm really unhappy and am moving more domains to my own mini BANs or other cheap and easy revenue sites including affiliate template sites. The parking co's are really going to be the losers in this war.

I have noticed that my estimated earnings are ALWAYS one third the finalized earnings. Even with US traffic. That is why I figure Parked only gives use 33% of the PPC rev. At least Godaddy says what they give. Parked says they pay the highest payouts - What do they pay?

Try mixing up a blend of topic related affiliate links on 1-5 page sites.
heck, give DNF PPC templates a shot, I've bought a few of them for parked domains that stopped getting decent clicks.

That is exactly what I am starting to do.

I have also started to develop my top domains with real business models - not relying on PPC or adsense...It is expensive but I have 3 sites in development, the first is expected to launch the first week in May.

Same here, but my concern is that with my other sites that are running strong now are doing the same as my parked domains, losing revenue. It seems that everything has gone down the tubes..
