Wildcard domain redirects vs www.

[packeted]

Hi there guys

All of the domains I park I use my own nameservers and redirect using Apache. I figure this gives me a little more control and allows me to switch parking companies with ease although with my server down over the weekend I lost a bit of revenue which was a bit annoying.

Anyway it got me thinking about something... I only forward the http://domain.com and www. to parking. I should probably do a *.domain.com forward, did anyone change this an notice a significant increase in their revenue on high traffic domains?

Cheers,
Francis

It can make a difference, depending on the history of the domains. If you have several domains in your portfolio which has had other subdomains in the past it might make a significant difference.
But I think it varies a lot. I always wildcard, just in case.
