Parked XYZ domains. Is it worth it?

[phaethon]

Hi guys, I have around 60 xyz domains parked on Bodis. They are getting many visits, but no clicks. Should I assume that only domainers check them out? Is it worth it to park XYZ domains? Do you get any clicks on XYZ domains?

 

[bmugford]

Probably that or bot traffic. Most domains, especially non .com, don't really receive much type in traffic to monetize.

Should I assume that only domainers check them out?

Hi

that would be the general assumption to make, because right now, .xyz has no usage history with the general public.
therefore, they wouldn't be typing in "keyword search" .xyz... so no type-ins from them

and
since .xyz doesn't have enough backlink history from other websites, then you can't count on receiving traffic from that source.
so... you're left with domainer searches and bots.

imo...

 

[Xiberia]

Almost certainly just bots/scrapers (plus maybe a few curious domainers, if they're one word).

Just look at your server logs, they'll probably be full of IPs from Google Cloud, AWS, Digitalocean and maybe Linode. All garbage.

 

[blogspotter]

Useless traffic. If you want to play the type-in game, try ccTLDs. All the juicy reverse leaks from .com

 

[blogspotter]

I thought many people automatically type .com as opposed to .co.in?

No. people from India will type in .in or .co.in by default, so will people in countries with respect to their popular tlds.

I even owned and sold a cctld with 1000-5000 type-ins a day...

As Alcy said, unless it is a Hotel.com you are not going to get many .coms with good type in.
All my moneymakers are ccTLDs. I don't buy domains with backlinks for Type-in. Just a personal preference . I only buy "Type-in" traffic names.




I even own ".im" and made me 400 or so last year. let me grab a screenie..

I spent more than 8-9 months doing research on parking and thereafter hand reg and acquire many domains. One of my gem (graph shown below) is this two wards XYZ domain which I acquired in February 2021. At that time I was using Bodis as through google analytic I can see the traffic origin and accordingly refine my parking strategy.

This domain was just a coincidence to me and getting exceptional views, clicks & revenue every day consistently. I was curious to know why the EPC was so little $ 0.01 to 0.05 compared to $1-5 as shown in the AdSense and other tools. I asked this question to the Bodis Support team and then they reply blaming me if I am using any software or something to get this extraordinary traffic. I told them that I even don't know if such things exist and acquire this domain based on my 8-9 months of research. Anyway, they told me that your traffic is not quality traffic and therefore you can not use Bodis for parking. It's funny when my more than 200 domains were showing views without any clicks for almost 8 months they do not have any problem but when one of my domains started earning they blocked my account. During that one month period, I earned approx. $12 and nowadays still that one XYZ domain is earning $5-10 per month at another platform. By the way, before this domain, my total earning in more than 8 months at Bodis was less than $12.

Parking is not about SV, CPC or keywords only there are more than 20 critical parameters one has to minutely observe over the period of time and accordingly define their strategy. Also, remember Domainers are the most vulnerable species in the domaining industry just like farmers in the agriculture sector and always depends on these intermediaries therefore in long term better to develop and monetize.

This is based on my personal experience and limited knowledge and I hope it will be useful to you. Best wishes

Off topic, if the ads shown on Bodis are not relevant to your domain, what can you do?

first you need to keep in consideration that a lander with bodis shows ads relevant to the country and the user cache so what you see visiting your domain can't be the same that i can see if i visit it.
After considered this, you may suggest some keywords that you believe are relevant for each of your domain. there is a "manage domains" tab in your bodis account.
the feed will evaluate your keywords and if they accept it they MAY put and try ads that can be relevant with your keywords.
I wrote MAY because sometimes the feed continue to put the ads they believe are more relevant for the coming traffic.

I'm discouraged by Sedo parking pages design. They look really bad..
The mobile version looks okay, but the PC version is outdated. Who knows, one man's treasure is another man's rubbish

Hi

what looks "bad" to you, may convert for the visitor

some tend to put their own prejudices, preferences, etc. into it, rather than accepting for what it is.

back in the day, domainsponsor had the plainest ppc pages, but the conversion rates were high.

it all depends on what the visitors see when they get there
and what they were looking for, before they arrived.

imo...

 

[Mr.company]

none of them , its cat.gay

Hey Alcy, I think these domains with 100K backlinks or so are connected to some fraudulent activity or not? Do parking companies accept this kind of domains?
I see plenty of this kind of domains on expired domains but when you test the quality of backlinks it's almost always poor.
I don't know exactly how it works, still learning

If a domain makes 1000 bucks monthly, why would someone want to sell it? it's a bit shady I think.

well in sure there is all kinds names around

me i was referring to.dyna exp auctions.. where domains with traffic just expire for.various reasons..

those who bid on.em are usually serious knowledgable parkers.. who research b4 buy

if u know what u do then I'm sure u can tell fraud name from good one too...anywhere...its all just matter of research..
tools..
experience

there are some worthless namewise names on dyna exp as we speak..for 100s in bids... .club etc...

 

[pablohc86]

I fear u wasted 9 months if all u could come up with is worst parking on earth..ie sedo

there are domains performing really good on sedo.
Me too i believe that sedo sucks in parking instead i had to change my mind.
Park Logic also rely a lot on sedo parking.

 

[ruudbrowens]

but when one of my domains started earning they blocked my account.

Bodis is a joke, and they have to fall
They also blocked my account claiming that my traffic is not quality traffic, when the only thing I did was leave the domain with them
But relax because everyone reaps what they sow

exactly

Hi
per my exact words


i was speaking in general, as to the nature of buying and reselling domain names
as it applies to what a reseller is or a domainer does.

if you want to take it to the development area, then that's another discussion.

imo...

Quote: "we've already decided to be "sellers". You see? --- "we´ve" again

Quote: "if you want to take it to the development area, then that's another discussion."

Gimme a break dude! the topic started all along if PARKING or not PARKING! Parking of .xyz names is the thread here, not "selling" or "reselling".

I guess some guys here are projecting a lot of things on their own ego

And.... since I´m the one who´s monetizing 98% of my domains (parking of course included), and not "selling and reselling and sellling and reselling...." it would be quite good to hear, instead of to speak sometimes.. as hard as it might be for someone.

Regardless, thanks for the good conversation.

 

[Mr.company]

try above.com , im making from one domain alone over $70 a month.

 

[ruudbrowens]

above.com is the best network currently, thanks for bringing this up squad.domains

ps: is the $70 gold an US Geo .com or something exotic with .xyz?
just curious even if I already (believe to) know

 

[Mr.company]

Hi

was that a "registry premium" domain or did you get lucky with normal fee and renewal cost?

imo...

normal fee , $22 renewal price i use python to backorder .

 

[biggie]

parking is about having right domains..it has very little to.do with extension

Hi

in principle, i can agree with that, from the perspective of:

one is parking the domain while waiting for an offer.
and since ppc pages can be enabled with a "for sale" option and means to contact the owner...
then it's an easy no-upfront-cost option for sellers.

i've received traffic and earnings from a variety of cctld extensions over the years, as well as some /net and .org that still produce today.

but yes, all that is about having the right domains.
and even though that's a vague phrase, those who have them know what it means.
and those who don't are wondering why, "no clicks on their names yet".

imo...

 

[redemo]

[alcy]

it's all about the right name..backlinks etc... unless yer talking hotel.com etc... tld is not relevant.
just look at dyna exp auctions.some bs.worhless .club or xyz no sense names.selling 100s and 1000s.

why.
cause revenue says 500usd per month etc

I.ve seen people showcase .cx or other useless extensions that were making em 1000s per month

if u think parking is about extensions then u are simply clueless about parking

its that simple
...I'm no park pro else I'd not be selling domains...but I'm no park clueless either

[blogspotter]

Who types a domain directly with C.C.T.L.D.? Are they mostly the older generation? Demographics? Cant be kids, teenagers or 30 y/o surely?

Why do you care?

I don't make any random assumptions. I just care about what the data says and try to replicate.

"a shows ads relevant to the country and the user cache"... Do you think or even know if the other parking companies do the same in terms of the cache?
my question, what would be the "common sense" for such a pattern?
Let´s look at a fictive parked cars(dot)com". I have visited and ordered a lot on food delivery services and my cache is full of data for that vertical.
Now after finished that task I would like to buy a used car and go to that fictive cars(dot)com and get there food delivery ads? I guess you understand what I mean.
Wouldn´t be better to anticipate what the user expects and wants when typing in cars(dot)com instead of exploiting his cache? The next thing to cars, if tier1 contents unavailable would be rather "motorbikes", or even "electronics = car audio".... "Food" is worlds away from users´intention to see even if he visited food delivery sites.

And to stay on topic, I´ve made the experience that .xyz is exploited by bidders for their ultra low Epc ROI campaigns.

On the other hand, I personally own a great .xyz for one of my own brands, polycount.xyz

but here it makes 100% common sense to use .xyz while in some other cases it doesn´t suit the keyword very much.

So I personally see 100% common sense for another extensions if they are a perfect match to the keyword,
but only if it makes true sense.

So if you try to build up a folio grabbing some other extensions apart from com than I guess it makes common sense only, when there is a rational reason for that. But it can work! .xyz too.
