In the past I have never been a great lover of parking domains, to me the parking companies seemed to be getting royalties on the domain names owned by the owners, and what is more treating the domainers like mushrooms (kept in the dark and feeding them manure).
Previously my best relationship was with Parked.com, but an incident occurred whereby one of my names was seriously attacked with a kind of dos attack and Parked were unable to help me find the culprit/s, so we parted company. I have tried Sedo, who hasn't, and the less said the better there.
Now though having returned and registered/purchased a few hundred domains in the past week I wanted to find out if any received any traffic, and as I register most of my domains at GoDaddy I thought I would give them a bash, I remembered reading somewhere that they only paid out every 3 or 6 months or whatever, but as parking income was not my primary concern that didn't bother me. So I go to my GoDaddy account and log in, click on the parking link and what do I find? Bloody hell, GoDaddy expects me to pay them to park my domains and for them to earn money from my domains! What is worse is of course the fact that they are already making money from having adverts on my domains whilst I am not parking them. Talk about a bloody cheek! (Oh yes, and their templates are totally rubbish.)
So for now I have parked the domains back at Sedo, something I never ever thought I would ever do again. I do not want to park the domains at Sedo, but what choice have I got? My domains are mainly geo-domains and I cannot even find appropriate settings on the Sedo menu for geo-domains, but at least I can find out if any does get type-in.
So can anyone suggest a parking company good for geo-domains? I would like one whereby I can at least get the keywords specified to the location if possible. Most traffic is expected to be from North America.
Any help would be much appreciated.
