$3.11 Revenue

More than 3,500 domains listed with Sedo.

Not sure when was the last year I had revenue like this.

I make more than this on with ONLY ONE SITE using adsense on a daily basis.

Ouch not even a tank of gas huh

Not even a gallon of gas or a gallon of milk.

Man, glad I don't depend on parking domains for a living.

some days ago i had one adsense click for almost $4
sedo is not for parking but for sale exposure
in general most of us should consider buying shared hosting accounts and make minisites for their domains, they ll get 3-4 times more money than they would if they left them parked(this goes mostly to domains without considerable traffic)

You'd get a gallon of gas here. It's $2.XX

to be honest that sux... :yo:

drop them!

I am "hell bent" on making minisites. Much more control over content and content of ads displayed.

Not to mention affiliate programs like LinkShare, CJ, and Amazon.

I agree. Tony Floyd did a mini site for me over the weekend that is amazing!! He is amazing!!! I plan on transitioning most of my low paying, high traffic domains to mini-sites.

Been doing more developing lately myself. Unfortunately, finding that CTR has been dropping as well, not just the amount paid per click.

did he do it using WordPress?

I am using Joomla but would like to find something I can get up quicker.

You can't expect to make much with only 540 views.

That view number is down by more than half, perhaps by 2/3. The PPC is a pathetic $0.05.

I am in the same boat.. usually make $0.02 to $0.22 a day
I had few good days like the one you had.

mini-sites are definitely a few steps up from parking.

you get to put up some info that relates to the domain that might be helpful to people, get indexed by search engines for search engine traffic, and you can use adsense and targeted affiliate programs to earn income. you are in control of the page and what goes on there.

 

[longhorn]

Sorry about that man. I see you have a solid amount of domains. Have you tried switching keywords and related links for your higher traffic domains? (Apologize in advance if you have done it 100 times already)

Agree it is not good however don't see how you could make more with minisites and Adsense?

540 views across 3,500 names is very light traffic overall and if you take into consideration your CTR with Adsense would likely be roughly as much as 5 times lower (as is typical) you would get far fewer clicks.

With just 1 site as in your example the stats are basically meaningless as it is too small an example to be valid vs a larger diverse portfolio.
