insight to parking services, please

[Gerry]

I am highly upset with Sedo and the steep decline in revenue and CTR for March thus far.

I have tried a few domains at Parked and NameDrive. Thus far the PPC has not been that stellar...of course it appears none of them are.

I will send Chinese domains to Dopa.

I like the appearance of ND pages.

Will consider other sites.

Would like some insight and opinions on pluses and minuses of sites that you have personally tried...what you liked, what you did not like.

No opinions on Sedo or SedoPro please.

I switched to Namedrive after a year at Trafficz. My monthly rev has more than doubled, I am seeing clicks for $1 plus commonly, quite often $2 and $3 (highest $7+ a week or so ago) - I never saw that previously.

In 5 months at ND I have had four times more approaches for domains through their landers, than in a whole year at Trafficz.

I have a handful of names at Dotzup too - the ones that get any traffic at all, show great CTR and decent CPC. I think their landers are very effective for certain themes like travel, property and food.

$11+ clicks at Parked.com

I have to admit that I have tried them ALL.. and by far the Yahoo feeds pay out more.

How about Moniker's TrafficClub? Any users?

And DomainSponsor...didn't they get bought out? Any users?

What kind of topics were you getting those high $ clicks for?

 

[namestrands]

TrafficClub is comparable with a low rate PPC program Like Miva.

DomainSponsor, is ok, and if your link makes a sale it can be wonderful, 1 click earned me $42 once, but alas they are few and far between.

If you want great customer service, easy manageability and control of your sales enviroment then I would have to suggest.

NameDrive or Parked, and Trafficz (you need to ask for a higher percentage than the norm though)

No other parking programs come close to these two for ticking all the right boxes when looking for a parking program.

As I said, I tested all the programs last year by diverting all my traffic to each program at random, the results were eye opening.

Sedo I would not touch. All it would take is for a program like Parked to launch a sales platform and SEDO will be no more within 2 years unless they really sort their shit out.

I could not agree more. Not sure what their issue is but service is and has been on a steady decline since late last fall. Weeks without emails answered, last three transactions have taken well over 30 days each to complete, March revenue down by nearly 70% and CTR down by more than 50%. Traffic is consistent with previous months.

Will be trying out many. But I think I will try some more at both ND and parked.

I think I moved about 300 domains from sedo to parked.
Still have 5 or 600 more to move.
It takes forever to move them

Parked seem better than sedo, just little.
Someone said it take time to optimize itself at parked.
And I only started moving to parked on March 1st.

For me, trafficclub is about same as sedo.
