About a month ago, I mentioned that I was going to test Google Adsense for Domains. Well, I didn’t expect much, as the results of my initial efforts in domain cash parking was pretty dismal. Yes, after trying Sedo and GoDaddy, as well as Chitika for domain cash parking, I was just about ready to give up on the whole concept. But, almost a month in from trying Adsense for Domains, I’m actually pleasantly surprised to see over $2 worth of income from my single domain on that service.

Okay, granted $2 isn’t much. But, considering I’ve received nothing for my previous efforts, I thought this was pretty cool. Besides, for a domain that’s worth approximately $10 a year, if it continues making approximately $2.50 a month, I can end up making $30/year per domain. That’s about $20 profit. Not bad, especially if the domain will be inactive anyway.

In any case, I thought I’ll let you know about it, as I’ve received a few queries about the concept of domain cash parking. I’ll keep you posted for any other developments.

How about you? Have you tried Adsense for Domains yet? How is it working for you?

Adsense for Domain: Quick Check-in

JMMO Reader Alex Arencibia asked here: I have a quick question about your cash parking experience. I recently took one of my parked domain names and built a website around it. For some reason, Google will not pick up the domain name under any of the keywords we are marketing it with. The site is well designed and full of features that attract search engines and keyword searches. Yet, I am wondering if the fact that the domain names was Cash Parked for about 4 month, if google somehow has it listed or tagged as a Parked site and will not allow it to be marketed? Any help would be appreciated.

To which another JMMO Reader, Leonard Holmes, shared this response: “I believe that google does not want to index parked pages, so they will indeed try to weed these pages out of their search results. If a site is later developed they usually do pick it up eventually. I imagine that they are slow in doing this because they intentionally do not spider parked sites very often.”

I’d be interested to know what other people think about this as well.

Reader Advice: On Parked Domains Turned In To Sites and Google Search

One of the things I’ve started to learn more about lately is domain cash parking. And, ever since I blogged about it, I realised that it’s a subject that a lot of people want to learn more about. But, other than the usual suspects with domain cash parking services (Sedo, Godaddy, etc), I wanted to find out other options.

A few days ago, I found out that Chitika offers a similar product/service, wherein you can redirect your domain name to a pre-made Chitika shop site. If you already have a Chitika account and an available domain name, you simply choose that service on your Chitika account management area. Then, you input your domain name and your chosen keywords. It will then generate a shop site. You then update your domain’s nameservers to point to Chitika’s nameservers. If you have some domain names that you’re not using, this might be worth exploring.
