As many of you know that read this little blog, I have quite a few domains registered that I don't actually use. I think of it as investing others may think of it as waste but I do have a plan.
Currently most of those domains just sit and do absolutely nothing, just waiting for me to get around to creating a site for them. Now that in itself is not a bad thing, just a dumb thing. While the domain sits and waits it is actually accessible to the world and my domain registrar gets the traffic. OK, so what is the big deal you ask. Well let me explain it to you. On the landing pages for each of those domains the domain registrar puts a page which is generally called a parking page and on that page is advertiser links usually provided either thru Google Adsense or Yahoo Marketing. In short, they get to use my domain to create revenue. Good for them - not so great for me.
Well I have a solution to this. I have found a great service that for $1 per domain they allow me to park my domains on their servers. They provide relevant content for the domain (based on my keywords) and allow me to not only use my Google Adsense or Yahoo Marketing codes but also I can edit the pages and put in my own Clickbank, Commission Junction, Share-a-sale or other affiliate links. All for $1 per domain!
To see an example of this, look at a domain that I set up in 10 minutes - www.calgaryusedcars.ca. Now instead of wasting money every year for the domain name I have turned it into a revenue source with only 10 minutes of work!
