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?

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.

If whois or a registrar shows a domain as being registered, many potential registrants will visit the site...

 

[phaethon]

To sum it up there is not a single domainer that makes any money from parked XTZs, except that guy with that special xyz that Bodis told them it was not legit. Maybe XYZs are not monetized at all on Bodis?

"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.

Yes, it's very probable that google will put at least 1/2 ads (if they are 7 in total) food related.
Google has lot of data, so they know what is better for their pocket.
However, on some domain, without manual/suggested keywords, google does a very bad job.

1. "Google has lot of data, so they know what is better for their pocket."

This would mean: AI + technocracy + suggestion = resulting (eventually) in autosuggestion.
"BOY! YOU DON`T NEED CARS! YOU NEEED MORE FOOD! BELIEVE US!" -- just because car related ads make them some Cents less than food related ads.

2. Yes, it's very probable that google will put at least 1/2 ads (if they are 7 in total) food related.

But this would be a is a contradiction to 1. If I visit porn sites first, my cache is full of Ultra Low CPC data.

Bottom line: Google´s patterns are like a well-kept state secret.

Wait for the right buyer slowly

 

[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

Hi

many discredit sedo based on what others might say, but i know better


imo...

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

Didn´t know that you can make any money with not adblocker ready 2-click-landers todays.
I guessed the only monetization that works todays is redirection to premium advertisers or competition based on who bids more for a request.

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.

Is Sedo better than Bodis in terms of revenue?

Hi

some domains, may do better on other platforms-
and you, will have to try them all, to see which performs best for each one of your domains.

Biggie, what's your experience with Afternic parking? I haven't tried them, but their pages look nice.

Hi

again with "how the pages look"

have you ever seen anybody posting stats or claiming they got some clicks on afternic?

read the past threads in parking section and get some background knowledge.... if you want to know about ppc.

I know, bro, just asking if you have tested it personally
I have read here about ppl getting paid, they must be getting clicks on Afternic haha, why not..

 

[ruudbrowens]

Basically there´s a big issue with all todays classical parking companies. They use 2 click landers that aren´t adblocker ready, with contents on buttons, dominted by big G patterns, which are designed to earn the most revenue for big G, no matter what the end user / visitor is searching for. Parking is STILL dead my friends.

Hi
those who are getting paid from afternic, are most likely getting revenue from domain sales, not pay per click.
perhaps go back and re-read those posts.

Hi

here's the problem with your outlook:

if or since, parking companies still exist in today's times...
then parking, can't be dead.

google is still putting money in it, so somebody... is still getting paid from it.

I don´t disagree, but those who is still getting paid from it isn´t the publisher anymore. It´s simply pointless for publishers with high-intent users from the US to burn their traffic on not adblock ready 2-clikc landers with stupid ads, point.

 

[biggie]

I don´t disagree, but

It´s simply pointless

Hi

to many, there's always a "but"
but from my perspective, if they are really interested,
then one has to understand the "point" of ppc, regardless to or irrespective of, all the obstacles it presents.
my rationale is, any revenue that can provide sustainability to the portfolio without having to sell a domain from it or while waiting for offers, remains a benefit to one who earns $ from parking.

take it for what it is and utilize what you can from it.

Biggie, I don't think millions of users that use Afternic are not getting clicks and paid.
Or a company like Afternic operates a parking business without paying the domain owners? That doesn't make sense, right?
Anyway, I'm just trying Afternic and see what happens

Hi

i'm not trying to discourage you, i only asked a simple question:

have you ever seen anybody posting stats or claiming they got some clicks on afternic?

from reading posts of those who use afternic over the years, majority of them use "landers" instead of ppc pages.
i list names at afternic as well, but only a couple of domains are pointed to their nameservers.

so, when you speak of millions of users, consider those who use afternic,
but also consider those who don't point all their names there and those who use their nameservers, but only use landers without ads.

Hm, not quite sure about that!

A domain isn´t a "jack of all trades device".

You must decide who you are. A seller or publisher?

I know nobody who can exploit 1 x domain for both interests in an ideal way.
Either you have a traffic domain with tons of high-intent users from the US - that can make the difference and some better $ if monetized in "the right way", but forget that you´ll sell it as you could sell a premium or a two-word-prime - don´t believe rumors! - or you´re a seller with a name that you don´t BURN in terms of Spam Score and you´re ready to let it go whenever an offer get in.

I personally have a STRICTLY segmentation of my portfolio.
1. domains for affiliate networks
2. domains for sale
3. domains for monetization networks
And all this, all along DESIGNED and intended, even before I grab or aquire a new name, I know whatfor I will use or exploit it. Everything else is "bad management" in my eyes.
