2011 - Parking vs. ?

[CLB]

Since parking is not as profitable as it once was what strategy are you working on going forward to extract more cash from your domains? :?:

..Or perhaps you are just sticking to parking because you have a strategy that works.

Mini-sites, Article Marketing, Selling Your Portfolio?

Build baby build!

Drop the crap.

Leave most everything else parked until building, because a penny is more than zero, plus it gives you an idea of natural traffic, helps you decide which to build first.

What South said. Develop into sites with good content, drop the crap. Unless things change I don't see any use for parking other than "put the domain here until I develop it" and the small percentage of domains that do well parked.

Spot on, nothing to add.

I haven't used these applications personally, but I have heard good things about yellabot.com on a different forum.

I started as a developer, with a handful of names. Then I started spending more and more time around researching and buying more domains instead of developing. I'm going to change that, starting with those that cost me more money and those that have a bigger potential and parking revenue.

For me two ways to make money with domain names:

• develop
• sell domains to end users => hence the need to pick the right domains, not those who find 'cool' but would need to be developed

This bang on for me as well.

although parking is not as "profitable" as it once was, it is still a way to make a profit on your domain names

on a good day, i can still find a few hand-reg's that make a buck or two



and because a majority of my earners were purchased when overture was still alive and kicking...the traffic and rev continues, just not as much


but you have to adjust to the environment


trim the fat, escalate some prices, optimize, throw up a few mini-sites, sell a few names



BTW: just got paid on a sedo sale
