go to sedo.com and set-up an account.

once your account is established,add your names to sedo's database,then redirect your domains to sedo ie: http://www.sedo.com/parking/****.com or set your dns to sedo.com


*** = your domain name

You could try: Domainhop.com

This is a sample of how your parked page would look like:

link edited!

They pay for clicks as well as by number of unique visitors to your site.

Hey openforsale.com, how does Domainhop.com pay out? That site looks a lot nicer than how sedo's look. Plus I also like how you can still use your own email address to keep the sales private.

Doesn't pay much, but the pages look much better than with SEDO, so you get good clicks.

Yes, you can place your own email address on the site for interested buyers to contact you direct.
You can also customize page title, the type of ads that will be shown and even the meta tags, etc. Good deal of flexibility.

Regd performance & payouts, there have been mixed reviews on this and other forums. Personally I am seeing better results than other PPC I have tried. I am earning in half a month what took 2 months at other places.

Give it a try and see if you like it. Maybe park a few of your best domains there and see how it goes. If you don't like the results, you can always move them back.

You can park at afternic.com as well. there are several other sites the do PPC as well,but most require a minimum number of either domains (50-100) or traffic (1,000's of hits per month).

You could also set up an acount with the affilate sites like cj.com or linkshare.com and just develop a page with an appropriate product or products related to the domain. Or create a store at vstore.com and point your domains to that page.

While the topic is relatively fresh... I parked a few domains at DomainHop a couple days ago and I am actually a bit surprised at the number of uniques being generated. Are the uniques at DomainHop typical, based upon what I might see if I had little or no SEO? Or does the fact I have multiple sites linked together in thier system affect those numbers? I guess what I am asking is, are the number of uniques I am seeing while parked at DH what I could expect if I didnt park the domains at all?

thekingz, you can park or remove your domains at anytime at domainhop.
Yes, you can choose to receive your commissions via paypal.

Here is what I like to do to double my click pleasure:

1) Develop the site into a simple one pager "this site is for sale type" website.

2) Add some google adsense to it

3) Throw in a couple links to some of your other sites to possibly get them some more exposure.

4) Add a "visit here to make an offer" type link and have that go to your sedo parking page.

Doing these things can double your click performance and advertise your other sites a little, maximizing your parking potential with little to no maintenance.

Example of one of mine is www.ToutForum.com

Good luck and let me know your thoughts

AFAIK, using Adsense on "this-domain-is-for-sale" pages is against Google TOS.Is that true or what?

JEsports has the right idea. Even a single page makes a world of difference compared to an empty shell of a domain.

Here are couple of minisites I setup.

GoogleWebsite.com
CarsSeller.com

As you can see, it does not have to be something very fancy. One took me about 40 minutes to set up.
The best part is you can even earn commissions through the affiliate links you have. :eek:k:

IT Web Team is right. Adsense has certain restrictions on sites that use their ads.

There are a number of different parking services that you can use. See other posts here for examples. Some of them require that you park 50 or more domains, though.
