what would be the best way to use my unused domains?

I know there are companies who will pay for your domain so that they can get some traffic but how it works and how much money they pay for it?

any details about it?

All is traffic, maybe they give some good % becous ethey have adsense pro accounts...

It's quite a complex topic - maybe I should put together a page about it.

In it's simplest form, you point a domain at an aggregator like Sedo. They put up a load of links, and pay you a %age of whatever they get for the clicks. They get paid by a variety of other companies like Google, who add more on to the cost, and then charge their clients (the guys buying adwords). Some targetted clicks can cost $100 EACH.

Well your domain has to have natural (typein) traffic or it has to be an expired domain with existing traffic. If you have domains like that, you sign up for a parking service like Sedo, Traffic Club, Domainsponsor, Parkingsite, Domainhop, etc. and you change the DNS over to their nameservers and add the domains to your account there.

The parking service displays a page that contains links syndicated from Google, Overture/Yahoo, or whoever...and you get a % of the revenue when they get clicked. How much money you get per click depends on how much the advertiers bid for those clicks.

So it's great if you have domains that get traffic on their own without having to be developed, though adult clicks are not worth as much as some mainstream niches. You want to park lots of domains so that the revenue adds up to something meanful, or a few spectacular domains, or both.

Parking is sorta pointless if you're only talking about 10-20 names that barely get any traffic. But if your business is about acquiring new domains and not having the time to develop all of them, parking is great.

That is problem, that guys have pro accounts with google and high per click $$$ but that site is with no content and realted stuff, it's same like Search engine with Ads like results...

you can redirect your domains to namedrive.com , thei get results from Google, and pay you 50% (if i remember corectly) of what thei get from google...

how mutch you get? .... it realy depends on the domain name and the keyword you select for it.... i have aboute 15 domains parked at namedrive that are targeted to mesothelioma, and i got an avreage PPC of 1.2$/click ....

[Floryn]

i forgot, namedrive pays you in PayPal in 15 days after the end of the month if you earn atleast 20$ in the previous month.

Thei also make payments by bank transfer, but i don`t know how fast thei pay this way, or if there is an different minimum payout for this....

other Domain parkings:
Parkingsite.com
Trafficz.com - minimum 50 domains to join but heighly recomended
Domainhop.com - nice one
Domainsponsor.com
Fabulous.com

thank you for your tips .. I will see if I have any domains that poepe could make typo

[Floryn]

you can also try to register expired domain names... you still can get some traffic from them, and if lets say you get 20c/click this mens from 40 clicks you get your money back that you spended on the domain...

Ad you can also list the expired domain names you parked, for sale on sites like tdnam.com , and list them for 50$ if thei don`t sell, atleast you get some traffic , because some of the buyers visit the domains, and maibe thei will click some ads

cool beans Floryn ... so where do you check for expired domains plus how do you know how much traffic those domains got?

thank you
