1. Where is the best place to park domains?
2. How do you select domains for parking?
3. What's a good click through rate for a parked domain?
4. Does traffic from expired domains have a lower click through rate than type in traffic?
Thanks in advance!
1. agree with Dale, the exception is Fabulous for gambling related domains.
2. park each/every domain first, then selectively develop later.
3. 1 click a year is enough, if the EPC pays more than the registration or renewal fee for that domain, but anything over 10% is good.
i have registered domains that have paid over $9.00 a click, and reg fee was only $8.00.
if you are getting 1 out of every 10 visitors to click on a link within that parked page, then potential is there to increase that percentage.
4. "type-in traffic domains" may have once "expired" and where "caught", then parked or developed.
4a. note: most expired domains may not have any traffic at all...that's probably why the previous owners did not renew the registration.
4b. note: those expired domains that do have traffic, their previous owners may have let them expire because they never parked them or developed them, so there they saw no value.
4c. many previous owners of domains don't have knowledge of domain trading, so if they registered a domain for a project that failed, they just let it expire. the domain may have been a good, generic term with type-in traffic, but they never generated any stats to notice that.
4d. some people just forget to renew the names that expire, they change email addresses, phone numbers and don't update whois.
imo...
