Turning Your Expired Domain Into a Profit Making Machine-domain Parking Ideas

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010


It is so common to see a registrar’s parking page cropping up in your browser window, when you type in a domain name to check what is on the site. In fact, it could be a sheer wastage of what is possibly a good expired domain name! Like you, thousands of others would have typed the same expired domain name on the browser window just to see what is inside! A typical expired domain does not have any system that can measure and track the actual number of site visitors. A typical expired domain displays no life in its present avatar. But, remember that it had an active life in its previous incarnation. Many people who were the regular visitors of that web site will still be looking for it even now. With these assured visitors to your expired domain, do you have a good mechanism that has the ability to bring you a sizeable amount of income?

Domain parking is possibly the best known method of earning income with your expired domains. In fact, it is the first step for a novice expired domain trader to taste small income before he or she can stride forward to find ways of making more income with a range of expired domains. Domain parking is a cool and efficient tool that you can use to make your first income in the expired domain trading business.

Domain parking is an efficient profit making machine that exposes your expired domain to a number of income making opportunities. Domain parking is simple money making process that redirects your expired domain to any other pages of a live web site. Domain parking service providing firms provide you a basic web page that includes a number of advertising banners and logos. Basically, the allotted web page assigned to your expired domain acts as a repository of links and banners that represent a number of other web sites. When a visitor visits your parked page either by accident or with an intention, he or she will see a number of links on which they can link to navigate to their preferred web sites.

The income making system is just simple. For every productive click that your visitors make, the advertiser will pay a certain portion of income to the domain parking firm. As the legal owner of the expired domain, you will also gain in the form of a small share of income. Though this income is small in value, you can still make a large sum by parking your collection of expired domains with a number of parking firms.

Domain redirection is yet another good service that you can use your expired domain name to make online income. Now, most of the domain registration companies offer this service as a part of the cost of registration or as an additional service with a small fee. Some firms may offer this service free of charge to develop their own business interests. Domain redirection services are always tied up with an affiliate program. An affiliate program is a unique program when the service provider agrees to pay you a small fee for your referring assistance which leads customers to affiliate web sites. Commissions are payable in three different forms: pay-per-click, pay-per-sale, or pay-per-lead.

Domain Parking

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010


When browsing online, I really most of the times find some sites on google search that really promises to solve my problems, after clicking on it and discover nothing but ads. What is the purpose of such a site? This is known as parking which can be done for free by some domain companies.


Before development – developing a website may be difficult, or may take time according to your level of understanding of web designing. When you know that it will be quite a few month before you can do anything, but you can’t let the desired URL slip through your fingers. The name may not be available in six months? So you buy the name, park it and then it is online.


These domain company may offer to park it or in most cases put their default page on your domain name, you can then register with a parking company, then submit the domain names and then change the domain name servers to that of the parking company, after which you can then optimize it to make it look more attractive.

Now, here is the interesting part. You can park a domain name and leave it and even make money from it, so you will earn from the adverts that are put on your domain names, also post a sign saying under construction so as to make your visitors come back.


Getting visitors – You can buy related or typo domain names, for example

you can find a good domain name with traffic and buy a domain name by just omitting one letter in the real domain name, this is a very useful tool, I bet you so many visitors will definitely make mistakes and find themselves in your domain names. Remember that you do not need to drive traffic to your domain name, with this tool you will still get good visitors.


So parking domain names can be good if you are buying at a low price and having the intention of selling it higher in the future, this also look like buying a land, developing it and selling it later for a higher price, which is also called real estate. So before selling your domain names you can park them and make money from them for a while before selling them.


This is a goldmine because there are some internet real estate investment companies online which will actual buy your domain names, work on it and still sell it to interested webmasters at insane prices. If you buy a domain name for $5 and sell it to them for $300 after a week, you will agree with me that it is a good investment, imagine you selling 10 of such names monthly.

Making Money With Parking Domain Services

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Have you thought of using domain parking to make some money? This is something that many people are taking advantage of. There are several ways you can make money with the simple task of domain parking.

Some people park a domain and decide to use it to make money while they are working out how to build the site. This is a great way to earn while you plan the site out. Some people also park domains just for the purpose of making money with no further plans to develop the website.

How do you do domain parking?

First of all, you need to know what type of domain to park. If you can think of an up and coming idea and capitalize it by buying domain names this is a great idea. If you know, for instance, that something new is in the works and becoming popular and the .com name isn’t yet taken, you can park it an earn from it. You might get approached by someone later who will pay big money for that domain or you might find that people happen upon it while looking for something else. By filling the landing page with relevant advertisements or affiliate marketing ads and banners, you can make a regular stream of income.

If you are waiting until later on to reserve that great domain name you’ve been thinking about, don’t tarry too long otherwise it could be gone and someone else might either build upon it and use it to their advantage or merely park it and wait to charge you big money for it.

It takes a bit of time to get things ready to do things this way. If you don’t want to take the time, effort and money to register the domain, sign up for affiliate programs, build a page, maintain and manage a page and fill it with advertisements, you can choose to share the profits by working with a company to do the management for you.

There are several companies that will do domain parking for you and pay you a percentage of the fees. Some offer cheap domain name registrations and other incentives to get you to join up.

Many domain parking options are available and if you cannot come up with a catch phrase, you can often come up with a similar name to another company that may get hits. There are some cheap domain names registrars out there with some great deals to offer you.

Notes Of Caution With Domain Parking

Beware though; some people that are less than ethical and will do things in the domain biz such as redirect people’s homepage to their parked domain so that people are more likely to click. Be cautious of hidden fees and black hat tactics and be sure to read the fine print because there are some known scams out there that benefit the domain parking company much more than they benefit you. Some people call some domain parking practices domain squatting or cyber squatting and some companies have been known to press charges if they suspect that someone is cybersquatting on a brand name that it their intellectual property. ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) handles complaints of this nature and looks for motives of bad faith when investigating domain parking scams.

Is Domain Parking Worth the Trouble?

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

If you’re thinking about getting into the domain parking industry then I’ll let you in on a little secret: The odds are stacked against you. This business has been dominated by a few big players for a while. If you’re starting from scratch, then you have as much chance to succeed in this game as a Tibetan monk with violent garlic allergies has at establishing himself as a dominant player in the Italian Mafia.

The domain parking industry is fundamentally flawed because it is passive. Any business plan that involves a lot of sitting around must eventually fail. It’s similar to any get-rich-quick scam that uses the phrase, “Just sit back and watch the money roll in!” I’ve heard countless eCommerce, Adsense and affiliate schemes that make this claim. They will tell you to have faith in their system, they will warn against doubters who want to steal your get-rich-quick dreams away from you. But I tell you: Don’t buy into anything that says, “Pay me $99.95 and I’ll tell you the secret to making money without having to work.”

Obviously some people make a living in the domain parking industry. I will tell you how they do it. First of all they have tons of awesome domains such as gardens.com or love.com. They do not depend on domains such as “ilikegardensalot.com” or “ireallylikelovealot.com.” Any domain with two or more words will probably never make back the money you spent to register it.

Be wary of buying domains that seem clever right now because they probably suck. You will discover this after it’s too late to cancel your domain choices and get a refund. It doesn’t even matter if you and all your friends think your domain names are clever. What matters is what the general masses think is clever.

Keep in mind that you need people to type your domain names manually. Search engines won’t help you because they hesitate to even acknowledge your parked pages. So you have to ask yourself honestly, “What are the chances of someone typing in ireallyreallylikegardensalot.com?” In order for your domain, ireallyreallylikegardensalot.com to pay for itself an average of one hundred separate people will have to type that entire domain every day.

You might try buying thousands of dollars worth of domains in hopes that they make more than what it cost to register them in the first place. If you purchased a domain from scratch that made $5 dollars more than what it cost you to register it per year, that would be a miracle. So what if you could find 10,000 similarly miraculous domains? Then you would have an administrative nightmare on your hands.

Another option is to purchase domains that are already popular. Suppose you bought a kick-ass domain for $20000. Suppose this domain was so awesome that it made you $1000 dollars per year on cash parking. How long will it take for this domain to pay for itself at that rate? 20 years.

Try to maintain a shrewd, business mindset. What’s the payoff here? What’s the timeframe before this investment starts to make a return above its original cost? Will the internet still exist by then?

There are a few domain parking companies that will do you right, such as NameDrive.com, Sedo.com or Godaddy.com. I am currently with Godaddy.com, making an average of 15 cents per click, which is unbeatable as far as I’ve seen. At this rate, I only need 10,000 clicks to break even. I’ve spent weeks’ worth of income and months’ worth of brainstorming energy to come this conclusion about domain parking: It’s not worth it.

Domain name Parking

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Domain name parking has given the best profits on investment. For example vodka.com was sold for $3 millions. In some cases these domains were bought for $6-8 which is the cost for registering a new domain name. The income on domain names is wonderfully volatile.

What do the domain sellers? Are they capable to trade their domain names? That’s why domain name parking comes into the picture. An effective way of earning profit even the domain remains unsold.

Domain parking is a profit making technique from marketing streams/links. Domain parking services are offered by the domain registrars. Nevertheless, emerging trends explain that domain parking services are now provided more and more by non- registrar domain parking services. Domain parking services use marketing feeds from web marketing services to demonstrate ads on parked domain pages. Domain parking service providers propose domain name owners two choices for monetizing. First option is “one click lander” and the other option is “two click lander”. A landing page is the page where a site searcher first lands on. A one click landing page provides searchers a variety of marketing links on a particular page. On the other hand the two click landing page first shows up a domestic page with various groups of links. A visitor selects a group and then going to the particular group of advertising links.

A domain owner gets paid for each click on ads by the domain parking service. This is known as EPC (Earnings per Click/ Pay per Click).Other term which can be used is CTR or a Click Through Rate. For example, if a site gets 10 pages impressions or unique visitors, and 1 click on an ad link, the CTR would be 10%.

Domain parking is usually practiced by domain owners. Most domain parkers fall into the group of domaineers who buy potential niche domain names for sale. Domain parking proves are very helpful for these domaineers who generates profit from ad revenue generated even their domain name remains unsold. Domain parking proves are very useful for website owners to promote a site for a long time period. Instead of simply displaying a “site under construction” poster, they can simply monetize their site potential using domain parking services to make ad profit till the site actually launches.

At present, domain parking services provides geographically targeted advertising to optimize domain profits. For example, a site searcher from Germany would see ads particularly for the German/European County. This helps in maximizing the domain potential to the highest level. You may find that it is very difficult to believe but advertisers pay decent amount for ads in niche keywords like debt consolidation, credit cards, mortgage etc. If you haven’t made your first domain investment, now it is the best time to begin a gainful business investment. You could be shocked with your profits.

How to Earn Money Parking Domain Names

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

There are a number of ways that you can make money when it comes to parking domain names and domain names in general. For those that may not be familiar with parking domain names, this is the process by which domains are parked within a given host account and at the same time the owner is able to earn passive income by the use of pay per click ads through traffic that is generated by search engines until the parked domain names are used for their intended purpose or sold.

You have probably seen parked domains. These are sites that you type in and you get the search pages sometimes with the statement written on the top that this domain is for sale. If you are purchasing a large amount of domains and reselling them, parking the domain names can be a great way to earn money off the domains while you are waiting to sell them.

It helps to drive traffic to the site, which can help to encourage the sale of the domain, and the ads that can be placed on the site can produce pay per click revenue. Even if you are not purchasing a large quantity of domains but are just purchasing one or a couple for your own business and are not ready to build on the site yet. Parking the domain and placing advertisements on it can be one way to earn revenue from the website while you are deciding what you want to with your website or even with your business in general.

Many people purchase their domains in order to hold them, months in advance before starting up their business as part of the organization and preparations that come before you can successfully launch a business. It is also common for people to purchase the .com, .net and even .org for their domain names with which they intend to publish different information on each on of this domains. While you are building these additional sites, you can earn revenue by parking them.

The only down side or disadvantage to attempting to do revenue sharing or pay per click advertising off a parked domain is that you may have to drive traffic towards your website unless you have a web address that is a common misspelling of another website and is going to attract a large number of visitors.

For small quantities of visitors, it is general hard to earn money through domain name parking. There are different ways however to turn a parked domain into something that can earn money for you while you are waiting for the domain to sell or you are in the process of developing the website, for instance by shopping around and buying expired domain names with a reasonable page rank and Alexa ranking.

It is a fairly common practice to park a domain and attempt to earn revenue off that domain while it is parked especially if it is a domain name that already generates traffic either because of previous business or because of common misspelling.

The Art of Finding the Name For Domain Parking

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

What is a Domain Name?
The first section of the Uniform Resource Location, otherwise known as the URL, is given over to your personal identifier – your domain name. This is the name you have chosen for your web site and the name by which the global markets are going to come to know you – after all, it is this name that your web-visitors are going to be typing in every time they want to access your site. Browsers now recognise your domain name plus its extension as the identifier that will lead visitors to your website. At one time it was necessary to always type in ‘http:// or www.’ before adding your domain name and, while every single site needed to be associated with ‘http://’ not every site needed to have ‘www.’ preceding it.

Domain Name Extensions
Domain Name Extensions are simply the suffix that appears after your unique domain name: this can be ‘.com’ .co.uk; .net; .biz’ etc – in fact, there are quite a range of them if you include each of the suffixes used by individual countries, such as the ‘.co.uk’ for the UK; the ‘.me’ for Montenegro; or the now defunct ‘.yu’ for Yugoslavia. The most popular domain name extension is ‘.com’ as it is one that the public tends to think of first.

Registering Your Domain Name
Imagine having a utopia moment whereby you could choose any domain name you liked – none had been taken and you had completely free reign to pick any domain name at all. For any of you who have attempted to find the perfect domain name you will know that it really isn’t as straightforward as first appears. Part of the art of coming up with the best domain name is combining the most appropriate domain extension with the most suitable domain name – and, even that isn’t as straightforward as you might think: when seeking out a domain name don’t forget to play around with alternative spellings and word-plays that establish your true meaning whilst saying something different.

The Best Strategy
The best tactic, when choosing a new domain name is to decide on a name and register it before you choose your hosting facility. This is important because of little things like IP addresses. You can, of course, purchase your domain name at the same time as setting up your web hosting provider although this isn’t essential as you can use a domain name service. One thing you do need to watch, however, when obtaining a domain name through an independent source, it to pick one that offers you as static IP address. An IP address uniquely identifies your personal computer numerically on the web.

The particular relevance to domain name parking when registering their domain name now comes clear: if you register your domain name prior to establishing a hosting provider, your domain name belongs to you and you know that you own your domain name independently of any hosting provider. If you type in a URL – i.e. your domain name plus extension – into your browser it will still come up with a web page, even when you don’t have a hosting provider. This web page will show that your domain name belongs to somebody but has been parked – and it is domain name parking that provides Domainers with a source of revenue from advertising on their parked sites.
