Domain Name Parking 101
Do you think you have a valuable domain in your hands that isn't living up to it's full potential? Or is your current parking service not working? Domain parking can be a profitable business if you do it correctly, which most people don't. Depending on the amount of traffic you have, possible content on your site and your certain niche, you can turn a small money making domain into a huge money maker.
There are many ways to make good money from domain parking, many of which are easy to implement. These range from domain keyword targeting, off-site search engine optimization, and creating mini-sites that fit the specified "niche" of the domain.
Domain Keyword Targeting
With many parking services you're able to target a certain keyword for the domain parked. If you don't have this on your service, I really suggest switching to NameDrive, or RevenueDirect. Optimizing the keywords can be what makes or breaks your revenue. That different keywords pay different CPC is a key theme here. Testing is what is going to make or break your bank. Finding a good mix between high paying keywords and keywords that have a high Click-Through-Rate will be valuable.
Off-Site Search Engine Optimisation
This is one of the most risky methods of increasing domain parking revenue due to the way that search engines will treat parked domains. On certain occasions the major search engines will treat a parked domain as a legitimate website, and on other instances they KNOW that the domain is parked and the content is irrelevant.
The way to achieve this method is through link building. Buying links on relevant sites to your certain niche is great for this. If you had the domain "Homework.com", you want to search on Google for the term "Homework", find the first website, contact them about linking to your website for the exact same term, "Homework". This is a very broad method, but if you're good at seo or can afford to hire someone good at link building, it can work.
Note that most parking services do not allow you to build links after you park the domain - however, RevenueDirect does allow this, but only if you are building quality link traffic, not generating low quality traffic, for example by spamming or purchasing traffic.
Creating Niche Mini-Sites
This is one of the best, because it's easy, search engines love it, and it's revenue producing. This is done by writing articles or content about the certain niche that your domain covers. If your domain is "AllDomainParking", then you would want to write articles on "Domain Parking Tips", etc. Terms that users would search normally on search engines. The user targeting is very high and users will click thoroughly if your website contains information relevant to the keywords that they search with.
