Allow me tell you a true story. A buddy of my who likes to collect domain names was describing a few that he had acquired. Whilst he has a broad variety of domains in numerous classes, these particular domains had been all related to web hosting.

Some of the domain names had been similar to current web hosting business names (or derivatives of web hosting business names). Others simply had ‘hosting’, ‘host’, or a related phrase in the domain itself.

So my buddy and I had been talking and he said something like, &quotYeah, it’s a shame ? if only I had the time to create some content material for some of these domains then I may make some money form them&quot. It turns out that he had no content material on any of the domains ? just parked pages, or no content material at all. When I investigated the domains, it turned out that there was a little but steady visitors stream that visited these domains. Some simply typed in the domain, other people apparently discovered the domain through a search engine that had categorized the parked page.

So I suggested the subsequent to him ? why not use a service that will consider the domain as is ? with no content material whatsoever ? and suggest search options that generate revenue for each click on? He took my guidance, grudgingly I may include, and guess what? He created $fifty the first month from just a few of his domains.

He was so excited that he asked what he may do to further improve his revenues from his domain names. I suggested that he use his parking pages (these can be personalized with some hosts) to check banners from affiliate applications with the greatest having to pay hosting companies. He positioned only three banners at the top of his pages ? with a brief description of the company’s product offerings taken straight from their web websites. This also proved to be a great success ? and his revenue stream increased.

My buddy has since invested some time and power in monetizing his other domains. He has either pointed the domains to a pay per click on search engine, or listed affiliate links on nearly every domain. This has turned a lackluster domain speculation business into a revenue producing pay per click on and affiliate business that requires nearly no effort to preserve. Needless to say, my buddy has taken my out to lunch a few of occasions since then.

If you have parked domains and what to try obtaining paid for search outcomes on these pages, check out this service offered by Sedo (there are other people out there as well):
