Domain Parking
September 18, 2007
A couple of months ago I registered a name for $6, spent a few minutes sticking up a website with automated content and running adsense. The adsense did nothing - and I think I received about 50 pence for the whole duration the site was up…but adsense wasn’t really the point, more so I wanted the content to get listed in Google and other search engines in order to drive natural traffic to the website.
A week ago I switched the nameservers so that the site no longer ran a live website, but was parked at SEDO. This means the natural traffic was being driven to the PPC site instead of a live website. Ever since I was sent out to LA for work I’ve been interested in adsense and domain parking, attempting to find out how it all works - so these little experiments are fun. I also wish to learn about adwords and have been doing a little testing with those.
Here are the stats for this domain over the past week:
Not a huge percentage of click through, and not a huge amount of revenue - but this past week has pretty much paid for the domain name and anything further is profit.
Eventually I’ll flip the nameservers back and have the live website with automated content on again, though feel I will probably get rid of adsense which is doing nothing. Once the traffic builds up, I’ll no doubt switch it back to parking so that it can make a little revenue.
Times this by 20 domains and I can buy a pint in the near future.
