Need fundamental knowledge abt domain parking.

[jignesh]

hello friends,
i need some fundamental knowledge abt domain parking.plz give me some links or write here.

The main fundamental is that you point your domain name to the parking service providing site's DNS.

Then when someone types in your domain name they land on that parked page. And if he or she clicks the ads on that page you get paid and the parking company also gets some commision from it.

Some parking compaines that I like are:

parked.com
namedrive.com
sedopro

thanks,
i i want to park my domain in one of the parking company than i have to pay or those company provide free facilty for parking??

 

[nick]

The provide it for free. Its vice-versa.

They will pay you instead of you paying them. When you park the domain and it gets hits and if the user clicks the ads shown on that page. You get paid.

thanks nick,but there is no meaning of domain parking if our site is not more popular:grin:.am i right? b'coz i have totaly new domain and working on construction.but not popular so i think i should not go for parking.what do u think?

 

[nick]

If the site is not getting typein traffic then it is not worth parking. It might do good to develop it and brand it as a new site.

 

[jignesh]

thanks nick i m planning to develope it first.

 

[nick]

Yes if it is not a domain name which falls in the type in category then the development would be the best choice to go with.

Here is some more info about domain parking from Wikipedia.

Domain parking is an advertising practice used primarily by domain name registrars and internet advertising publishers to monetize type-in traffic visiting an under-developed domain name. The domain name will usually resolve to a page containing relevant advertising listings and links. These links will be targeted to the predicted interests of the visitor and may change dynamically based on the results that visitors click on. Usually the domain owner is paid based on how many links have been visited (e.g. pay per click) and on how beneficial those visits have been. The keywords for any given domain name provide clues as to the intent of the visitor before arriving.

Another use of domain parking is to be a placeholder of an existing web site. A company might choose to use this method to redirect its website traffic to another web site it owns.

On domains with a 'one-click' implementation, a click on a keyword is not necessary to generate ads. The ads are targeted based on the domain name.

Domains with 'two-click' implementations require a click on a keyword or a keyword search to generate ads.

Domain parking can be classified as monetised and non-monetised. In the former, ads are shown to visitors and the domain is 'monetised'. In the latter, an "Under Construction" or a "Coming Soon" message is put up on the domain. This a single page web site that people see when they type the domain name in a web browser. This is one quick way for getting an Internet presence. Domain names can be parked before a web site is ready for launching

Has anyone done some testing by creating a simple single page of content with some ads to create your own "parking page"? I know it's more work than using a parking service, but perhaps the income would be greater?

Had done this in past. It used to be automatic RSS feeds fetching script.

Gave it away to one member here as a gift.

Sorry, I've created sites like that as well. What I meant is a parking page that is almost all links to ads or categories of ads, like you see all the time where domains are parked with a service.

 

[Randall]

Yes have that too. Which can parse the XML PPC feeds and show it like a categorized parking page portal.

Only thing is the PCC providers are not paying well. And it is not worth much time without premium domains which can be parked and if it is getting good type in traffic.
