Depends on the search engines you want to use. Google and Yahoo, I think, require you to have 750k hits/day in order to use their feed/work with them. Others might not have many requirements, but much less ad competition, therefore much cheaper PPC quality which is ultimately a dead-end for any startup.

You can buy a script like domainspa and probably handle the work alone, originally, but it will be time consuming.

The most important things to keep in mind is to have a lot a lot a lot of traffic and to make a contract with a decently paying SE/ad feed provider.

TRAFFIC to get the feeds?

I thought domainspa only provides services and not the script.

Where to buy the script?

a million visitors a month, with all of us here.. we can do it! Johnn, I'm interested if you need man power.

You need manpower and money.

Traffic is no question about it, more traffic to get good % share from yahoo or google or somewhere else.

Scripts google it and you will find some decent product.

I know that I will need manpower and money. I have both manpower and womanpower. How much money do I need?

Thanks,

Depend on how you want to compete with existing parking services. As you know by now, parked provide hundreds or thousand of templates. This is manpower development = money.

If you are referring to the actual cost of the scripts. I saw from $300 to $15,000 range, then add your hosting server from $100 to $1000 per month.

Hope this help.

John are you one of dem der hermaphraditey thingies? Man and Woman power? scary brother, scary!

With regard to the question, I think there are enough companies out there providing this service and there's little that can be done to improve the business. It's not like it's antiquated or out dated. Plus, I think very important to, you need a great name, like Parked.com, Parking.com, ParkingSpot.com, etc.

When I refer to woman power, I mean all the female on this forums plus my wife and my daughter.

I understand the competition in parking business but I just found out there is a BIG loophole in parking services that you can make a ton of money.

Thanks for sharing.

On the name I disagree, you don't need a great name to have a fairly successful parking service. Take ActiveAudience , DomainSpa, Bodis(1M yearly turnover is not bad at all) as example. The name doesn't have to be generic, if I hear about a new parking service I will give it a try and I won't really care what domain it uses. I love AA for example, and it's long domain name does not stop me from using them or recommending them

is having employees or Friends that can help you out (family members that can help)
it can be men or woman -- just the work force.. to do the job.
