Question about adwords on a parked site

I got a site going right now but its parked with namedrive and I wanted to know about getting paid with keywords with my parked site. If I have a site thats parked can I also get paid from keywords.If so what would be some proper steps to take in order to get that going.Is it possible to run adwords on a parked site too?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, Google will not allow you to place ads on parked websites. They expect you to have an operational website with some true content and functionality beforehand.

Monetizing on parked websites is a bit difficult - most people will realize that it has nothing to offer and immediately skip to the back button. If I were you, I'd just put up some real usable content and monetize from affiliate links rather than CPM ads.

Hope this helps,
 
i have a friend that makes 10K a month with 200-300 parked domains and some php script he made..so i guess it's not that hard.

google does domain parking, but their minimum amount of domains is pretty steep. 100 I think. Google AdSense for Domains

WOW! It's only 100? I can't find any references to the number but assumed it was much higher. I think I'm gonna write them to ask. I've got that many unused domains lying on the floor of my office, fer chrissake! May as well park 'em with some crappy AS ads on 'em, eh?

Dwayne,

It sounds like you don't know what parking a domain name is. I'll try and explain it for you. Parking is a way to make money from traffic that a domain gets without having to develop content for the site. For example, a domain name might have previously been a developed site and expired, or it could me a generic word that people just type into the address bar. Either way, the domain is getting hits and you want to turn them into money without having to deal with content on the site.

This is where the parking company comes in. You let a parking company, like namedrive, host the domain for you. They will put up a template with a list of ads and collect revenue from people that click on the ads. The parking company gives most of this money to you and keeps some for providing the service.

I have no idea what you're talking about with keywords. Some parking companies let you choose a keyword to tailor the ads to your audience. So if your domain is getmortgage.com you might choose "mortgage" as your keyword so you're positive that no other kinds of ads will appear on your site.

I hope you understand that making money with parked domains requires visitors to the site, most likely through direct type-ins.

Jessica,

You're wrong about both your points on parked domains. Google is the highest paying advertiser in the world of parking. Most of the times you see parked ads, they are from G's feed. If they aren't, they are Yahoo.

Also, I don't know what you mean that parked domains are difficult to monetize. That's the whole point of parking--to monetize them. Conservative estimates are that type-in traffic converts 3x-5x better than regular 1st tier PPC, which is why Google is fine with contentless ad pages.

Thanks I understand. I am parked with namedrive and I hear google is good with parking but is there a such thing as this company pays more for parking than the other or does the payout differs amoung companies? Do you think namedrive is a good company to be parked with or should I have used google or does it really matter?

You can't park directly with Google unless you have a huge portfolio of domains. Companies like namedrive use Google's advertisements for their sites, and take a portion of the revenue. There is no "best" parking company since they will have different performance on different domains. That's why in your last thread I told you to sign up for a couple different ones and try your domain at each for 2 weeks.
 
Parking Alternative

Dwayne,

See the second link in my sig. It's a place where you can put your unused domains and you keep all the ad revenue.

Basically, how it works is, you pay them @$100 and park up to 100 domains. You choose the keywords and it builds a little site for you with adsense on it. Then, you use whatever methods you normally do to drive traffic. The little sites are kind of SE friendly... not the best SEO in the world but not bad.

Anyway, it works out to @9 cents a year, per domain. You can make more than 9 cents a year off each domain with AS, can't you? If you want to place more than 100 domains, you can buy additional credits. I just started using them so I don't know yet if the $100 is per year or forever. Either way, it's a decent deal.

My opinion is, if you have quite a few unused domains, it's a good idea to earn a little cash and retain control over how you do it. If you place your domains with a parking outfit, you don't have any control over what the keywords are and they take a cut of the ad revenue. You can still drive traffic but not much else.

With this outfit, you retain control and get all the revenue. Granted, it's not free and, if you only have a few domains, not worth the investment. But, if you buy domains in bulk, you can put them in here and take them out at will, while having the opportunity to earn a few bucks along the way.

I buy about 10 domains at a time but can't build 10 sites all at once. So, I put the idle ones here until I'm ready for them. Usually, before I use up those 10, I've bought 10 more so, my stable of unused domains keeps growing.

One advantage is, you can get some SE listings while you're building your sites. Instant SE listings when your real site goes live!

Or, if you have a desireable URL and don't have the time or ambition to build out an entire site, put it here and grab type-in traffic. Type-in traffic is how a lot of the professional parkers get their traffic anyway. Not a lot of cash in an archane domain unless you have a way to drive traffic, if it's not a type-in kinda name.

Oh yeah... the affiliate link in my sig isn't cloaked so I trust you guys not to screw me. Karma matters. :D

Okay i dont have 100 domains. But, I visited the second link in your sig and it made sense. I think thats what's happening to me. Im driving traffic to my site but not getting any clicks. I think the page on my parked site is driving people away.Because when they go to the site I believe they seem to think they've come across an error page and it really has nothing to offer the average person so they tend to hit back and continue what they were doing. What could be a solution to this.Is it possible for me to build the site myself to give some content of use to it then park it?

Dwayne,

Ignore Springer's advice. There is not one serious domainer in the world that would pay to have his or her domain's parked. Sites like namedrive, domainsponsor, and parked.com are all free. There is absolutely no reason he linked you to something that costs $100 besides wanting some referral $$.

Also, I still don't think you understand what parked pages are for. They are for mostly for natural type-in traffic. So say you were looking to buy a telescope. Most people would go to Google and type "buy telescope" but there are some people that just browse to buytelescope.com: The Leading Telescopes Site on the Net . That kind of direct navigation traffic is that high converting stuff that parked pages like. You'll never get anywhere on the search engines with a parked template though. Moreover, you will get your account banned if you drive shitty purchased traffic to your parked page.

Bottom line: If you don't know this much about parking a domain, you probably don't have a portfolio good enough to make parking worth it. Try learning some of the other newbie-friendly marketing techniques discussed here. Don't get conned into paying $100/year for some shitty pseudo-webhost.
 
I'll preface this by saying, this is by no means the do-all, end-all... just a very quick lesson in grabbing a few bucks off an unused domain.

Do you have an adsense account of your own? If so, you'll have to get a hosting account someplace. There are loads of cheap hosting providers listed in various places here. Do a search in the hosting section for recommendations.

Find an article related to your keyword or domain name (if it's a keyword domain) on one of the article hosting sites like goarticles.com or somewhere and use it to make your own article. Don't just copy and paste. That' ll get you penalized for dupe content and getting a site like that listed is tough enough anyway. Change it significantly, to make it your own or just write your own from scratch.

Make a page for your site with your adsense code in it and upload it to your hosting account. You've effectively created your own "parked" site. What you have is a one page site with AS on it. Don't expect to get rich off one site like this. Hosting and domain reg. fees will likely eat your profits.

Now, you have to go out and promote it to drive traffic. How you do that is up to you.

The above scenario will cost you a few bucks a month. If you're not bringing in more than a few bucks a month from your one site, it's hardly worth the effort.

If you don't already own enough domains to make the whypark deal cost effective, why not buy more? They're cheap and whypark builds the sites for you AND hosts them. All you have to do is fill in the blanks... keywords, adsense code, etc. and mash a button. Plus, it's an economy of scale... if you have a lot of anything, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Say you buy 100 .infos at namecheap for less than $3 each. Then sign up for whypark. You have an investment of less than $400. Your 100 sites need to drag in $34 a month to break even. That's 34 cents per domain, per month.

Nothing says you have to buy 100 domains at a time. Do like I do and buy 10 or so at a time. Spread it out so you can afford it. Whypark works out to $8.34 per month, so keep that in mind as well, when you're shopping for hosting.

Then, all you have to do is a little promotion, like I mentioned before. Set up a few blogs at blogger com and post a few times with links to your sites and the spiders will come. A few links in blog comments here and there and you're off to the races. Keep dropping links here and there and things will improve a little at a time.

You probably already spend at least an hour a day reading blogs and forums, right? Make a comment or post and drop a link to one of your sites. In a very short while, you'll have loads of incoming links to your sites. 4 links per day = 120 IBLs per month. Once again, an economy of scale.

Yeah Dwayne, dullwit is right, ingonre my advice. This dimwit knows more about parking a small quantity of domains than all of us put together.

The title said PARKING ALTERNATIVE you moron! I don't think Dwayne is a "serious domainer." He's looking for a way to monitize a small quantity of domains.

Parking sites take a cut of the revenue. The place I linked to doesn't. That's why it's an ALTERNATIVE, ya fuck head!
 
Dwayne,

I could sit here and tell you why everything Springer has posted is wrong, but I won't. I'll leave the choice up to you.

You can take my advice, someone who makes his living off domain names, has tried explaining things clearly to you in a couple different threads, and has no incentive to try and sell you anything. Or you can take Springer's advice, who has come in here with a sales pitch, tried to make $45.73* off your ignorance, and on top of all that has hurled insults at me after calling him out.

I'm going to grab some lunch but I'll be back in an hour if you have any other questions about domain names.

Yep, once again... dullspace is right and I'm wrong. That's why I have a +rep of 268919394 and he has a +rep of zero. He helps everyone and I offer absolutely NO advice of any value, whatsoever, to anyone... ever.

You make your living as a domainer? Maybe you do, maybe you don't. I make my living as an affiliate marketer. That means I sell shit as an affiliate. I'm doing what I do. I'm not ashamed of it. And, I'm telling Dwayne about something that may actually be of value to his situation.

So far, all you have done is tell him he doesn't understand domain parking. How was that helpful?

If Dwayne doesn't want to use my affiliate link, he certainly doesn't have to. I offered him an ALTERNATVIE to parking, that's all. It's a freakin' clickbank link and my aff ID is clearly visible. It takes zero effort to bypass it.

We are talking about two completely different things here. You're talking about parking and I'm talking about not using a parking site, but using something that allows one complete control over their domain, the keywords, the ads, and is pretty cheap when you compare it to a hosting account for domains you just want to put AS ads on.

Dwayne, if all you want to do is park a domain, go to sedo.com and sign up and put your domain there. If you want to earn more money off your unused domains and understand the concept, sign up for whypark but DO NOT use my affiliate link. I don't care and will still make my nut this month.

Dullspace, when you have more +rep because you have actually offered helpful advice to someone and not just told them they don't understand something, let me know. Until then, eat the peanuts out of my shit, asswipe!

im going to to put my rep on the line, to vouch for dullspace. I AM an established member of this board, and springer is basically trying to sell you what's called a clickbank product. Whypark is NOT $100 per year, its a one time fee of $100. It is an "infoproduct" that is sold through clickbank and he gave you an affiliate link so he will make the $45.73 from you buying it.

I also agree that this is a retarded thing to do, and a waste of time. Shitty automated site + buying shitty traffic , and sending it to site loaded with your own adsense = banned from google.

Anyways, I am just hear to vouch for dullspace even though I don't know him.
 
Thanks for the advice guys. You guys really go hard at each other. But I do appreciate the advice. I just know that with my parked domain page is turning off a lot of people. They're going to my site but not clicking on anything I think the page needs to be built with more welcoming material instead of the page that looks like they typed in the wrong url and got something else. Check it out and let me know what you think.
