Why do so many domain owners park their domain names with cash parking sites when the income they generate is often so small? As an example, one domain owner has various sites parked with a cash parking site that charges around $4 per month for the service they provide and then offer 80 payout from the advertising revenue they receive to the domain owner. This particular domain owner reckoned he got 8 clicks @ 4 cents a month from one domain; 1 click @ 0.35 cents; another made around $7, having attracted 40 clicks. This is hardly big business, so what are the domain owners doing it for – or, to put it another way, what are they doing wrong?
Forum Discussions
It seems to be a subject for forum discussion as well, I have found. Many domain owners there admit to making good money but, from what I can see, it is because they are being particularly pro active in promoting their sites and they also have a large number of domains so, when they average out their click through rate, it works out higher than it would at face value. Nevertheless, cash parking and passive income generated through it certainly tends to generate strong feelings. Basically, what one particular domain owner [who seems to be doing all right from all accounts] said is that, unless you have a domain name that is particularly specific with its generics, then cash parking is all about promoting your domain names, without which your domain names would not attract traffic on their own – in fact, it wouldn’t be fair to expect them to do so.
Misconceptions
Cash parking certainly generates considerable controversy, despite the industry that has built up around this phenomenon. There are cash parking companies that charge a monthly fee and there are cash parking companies that advertise their services are free of charge. There are domain owners who are under the impression that their account with somehow get banned and themselves blackballed if they upset the might of Google – and then there are the gurus of the forums who are only too pleased to put those individuals labouring under their misapprehensions clear on a few points! Basically, is cash parking worthwhile for the individual domain owner or is it not?
Passive Income
I think the jury is still out on that one! The majority of domain owners who swear by cash parking are the ones who own hundreds, if not thousands, of domain names – each one given over to the advertisers to utilise as they will. In return, these dedicated domain owners share in the profits received from PPC clicking: depending on how useful the domain is that they own and how relevant to the content of the advertisements placed on those sites, depends on the returns the domain owners get. Moreover, those domain owners who don’t just sit back and expect passive income to drop in on them while they do nothing, will reap far more than those who believe cash parking is a byword for inactivity.
