Earn Passive Income From Domains

Earn Passive Income From Domains - By: Jet Lee, Posted on: 2008-06-13

So what exactly is domain parking? Domain Parking is an advertising practise used predominantly by domain registrars and internet moguls to earn income from type-in traffic to an underdeveloped website. The url will normally resolve to a page containing only advertisements or links to affiliate programs. There is usually no useful information of any value to the web user who usually clicks on one of the links just to get away from the page. The domain owner is typically paid based on the number of clicks and the following benefit derived from such clicks.

Is it feasible to earn money from domain parking? Yes it is! Some domainers have portfolios of thousands of such sites that make hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. Some of these portfolios of sites have been reportedly sold for millions of dollars to Private Equity funds. One Canadian internet mogul has managed to sign an agreement with the government of Cameroon. Cameroon domain names end with a ".cm". Many internet users mistakenly type in ".cm" instead of ".com" and all of the unregistered domain names resolve to a parked domain page containing ads. This person is rumored to make millions of dollars each month, his share for assisting the Cameroon government monetize this phenomenon!

My personal experiments with domain parking programs like Sedo and GoDaddy has been pretty lousy. I had five websites with Sedo for just over 24 months and I made roughly 1 cent per month! Not even enough to bare the cost of the URL registration fee each year. GoDaddy was worse. You need to pay between $3.50 and $9.99 per month in order to park your website with them. I had 1 site for several months but I was unable to make sufficient money to even cover the cost of this fee, even though it wasn't a lot to begin with. I think that if you're a bulk website parker with thousands of domains, you will probably gain a lot more traction than I did. But I wouldn't count on it.

Before you think that you can go out and buy several domains and snowball your parking efforts, remember that you're already very late to the party. It's now a highly cut-throat playing field and there are many thousands of experienced domainers struggling to earn income from domain parking. All of the 2 & 3 letter domains are all gone and so are nearly all of the four letter domains too! Getting type-in traffic is usually a lot easier with shorter domain names or dictionary words. With Private Equity firms getting in on the action, there's more than enough money being spread around to buy up all the possible dictionary words and their possible permutations.

But you don't need to completely give up on the idea of domain parking. There are still a few ways to make some money. Some of them involve creating MFA (made for adsense) sites that have a tiny bit of content which draws organic traffic but are heavily optimized for adsense ads. This is substantially more cumbersome than regular domain parking and a lot more time-consuming. There are methods to automate this procedure, but many of these methods require a certain amount of cash outlay for software tools that all generate the same duplicate content for everyone. Making unique content is highly important for ranking high in the search engines and getting organic traffic. There are ways to automate this process without spending any money but thats a new topic for another article.
