When I first wrote about Domain Cash Parking about a couple of months ago, I mentioned that I’ve never tried that form of making money online before. A few days ago, I realised that I own a couple of domain names that are not being used.
So, I decided that I’d give domain cash parking a go. After all, having a domain name that’s not being used is like having extra cash that’s just lying around. That’s why I decided I’ll try to see if I can make money from these domain names instead. But, instead of just using one service, I decided to try two services: Sedo and GoDaddy. Sedo is free and GoDaddy requires payment. I opted for the basic one on GoDaddy, to try it for a month.
I’ll let you know the results at the end of my one month trial.

If you still have an extra domain lying around try out Whypark too. If you’re interested I’ll e-mail you the info for a free 1 account Whypark account. (the free account doesn’t get me commission if you sign up with it later)
Hmmm… I might just be able to. Let me know how it goes. Have you been using Whypark for a while now? How do you like it? Thanks for sharing this info.
I’m using it for one site to try it out. I posted previously in the domain cash parking thread too. Its not a niche site so I’m not getting very many hits yet. However its indexed in google now, but the site has been deindexed in yahoo. (I’m still checking why, but I think its because it was cached with the old go daddy cash parking website).
Atleast for whypark you can drive traffic there via link building unlike the other domain park sites. I think I’ve made about $1 from adsense so far. I’ll email you the info for the free 1 domain whypark account shortly.
Thanks, Mitch. Will let you know if I give it a go.
I have tried the godaddy cash parking for a few months now and my total sales have reached $.22. I am not sure if the domains I choose to run on the parking are just not good keytraffic domains or what, but results have been less than what I hoped for?
I think I have about 25 domains parked there right now, some are pretty good 5 and 6 letter domains. I would like to hear how it worked for others as well. Good luck, Scott
I’ve a domain parked in sedo & i’m getting an avg of 0.14 cents (euro) per click. Worth trying
You should really check out dnforum.com, that’s the place to learn about domains and parking. There are tons of options.
@Mitch
do you have also a free Whypark account for me ?
I woud love to hear and update on how everyone is doing. I have three spare domain names just sitting around that I’m paying on. Everything I have found wants a regular email nothing for yahoo or gmail mail.
@Homemom
I’ve just signed up on SEDO with a free mailing account, you have only to use one that is not one of the known big ones (like G and Y).
If you are out of ideas, try this italian one (http://registrazione.libero.it/), on the field “Provincia” (it means State) insert the vaklue “EE” (it means foreign country).
On secondpage check “sì” (=yes), the rest should be self explaining.

I would try godaddy first homemom3. You have to pay but I “Think” (not for sure) that godaddy does some SEO on the parked domains. Thats just a hunch.
i 2 have a sony sire http://www.sonyhighdefinition.com and does some cashparking with it i make a good amount with it.
what happened to the follow up?
I have about 150 domains listed on godaddy I just got my first check for 55 bucks. Of all the names I have on there seems just the same few get any views/clicks I have submitted all the names to the search engines and have done a lot of work on keywords. I’m interested to know if anyone has had the same luck?
I have 30 domains over at Sedo and I make about $50/month
Are they domains you registered as new ones or are they domains which you bought as already indexed ?
Giving they’re new, thats approx 150 x $10 =$1500
Earning $55/month it will take you about 27 months to break even.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Mitch, can you arrange a free account on whypark?

domainspa is free 2 use, I do know for a fact that they r lifting u up, and they charge only 25%, while godaddy takes 30-40%. anyhow, even if u r stayin there 4 a month, your domains will receive more traffic. i got there when they were new so i even get more
For those of you using Godaddy Cashparking and making money from it. That’s pretty amazing. But it’s kind of expensive at $4/month and you get 60% of revenue only.
At least check out Google Adsense for domains that’s FREE! I have a site on it and it earns me zilch.
Or else try http://www.instantadsensemachine.com and you get fresh content that’s targeted, you control the content (and thus the adsense banners), takes less than 5 minutes to install and you can leave it alone forever, and you can market things like affiliate links, etc.
Anyways, check out the free demos or download the free trial.
