I just bought some domains and would like to know how I can track type-in traffic, where someone just types the domain in. Also, how do I remove the parking pages my registrar posted (I'm not getting paid for them, so I want to see what I can do).

Also, does anyone have experience with domainsarefree.com? They're the people whose parked pages I want to remove.

just park it on a shared hosting account as a subdomain and watch for "direct requests" via webalizer

Unless there is some catch if they were free just do this...

A. Forward it to wherever it is hosted or better yet...

B. Change the nameservers from their parked servers to the servers for your hosting. Make sure you uncheck domain parking and domain forwarding if you do this.

C. Pay the $10 and use godaddy next time

Good luck ~John

Sign up for a free account at Sedo.com
Add the domains to your account
Go into the DNS at your registrar and change the nameservers to NS1.SEDOPARKING.COM and NS2.SEDOPARKING.COM

It will take a few hours for sedo to approve the domains, but once they do you can track type-ins and maybe make some money off them too. Either way, if you're interested in type-in traffic domains, you should learn how parking services work. Even if you never end up using them much, it's still a good thing to know and very simple.

Thanks for the advice guys, it's much appreciated. Rob, if I understand you correctly, Sedo will park them for free, and give/share the parking revenues, if any?

I would like to refer you to NameDrive.

They have better payouts to the consumer than Sedo. I have already received over $600 from them on my own domains. I will also be receiving a nice pay-pal deposit from them for this months earnings.

http://www.namedrive.com/

I added my ref link above because I would enjoy if you signed up with my referral, you would make the same amount of money, but NameDrive would give me 7% of their profits. (Wouldn't affect you)

Best of luck and if you have a question ask me in a PM

How do you get traffic to these domains? Did you purchase domains that already had page rank? Do you advertise them somewhere? This is an interesting strategy that I hadn't heard of before.

**breakpoint** · 08-28-2006, 02:53 PM

you "arent" supposed to advertise them I think, but they cant keep an eye on everyone I guess

Thanks for pointing me to this place. I've been looking for a replacement to Sedo for a long time. I'm going to sign up through your refferal link.

I've actually been less than thrilled with my sedo earnings since selling my cash cow domain... tried trafficclub and was equally unimpressed. Maybe I'll give ND a try as well.

Hey thank you very much!

I can tell you guys that one the day of the click you will usually see a Avgerage PPC o around 11 cents, but thats not the actul PPC price because the calculte that at the end of the day for your account.

Depending on your keywords I have recieved anywhere from 4 cents(for saturated keywords) to 40 cents and over $2 on the higher paying keywords PER CLICK.

PM me with any questions.

**Bookworm-SEO** · 08-28-2006, 05:28 PM

Why can't you advertise them? Anyways, what constitutes 'banned' ads? I imagine using PPC to do some arbitrage would look like a scam, but with the new adwords algos anyways, the landing page would suck too much to get profitable bids.
I wonder if my 2007Canadagames.com is getting any type-ins?
I've tried signing up for sedo, but I need them to give me a freemail account (my domains aren't forwarding the email like they're supposed to. stupid namepros.ca)

**breakpoint** · 08-28-2006, 05:40 PM

Well you can advertise but I would say do a blitz advertising campaign and send 1000's of people to the site.

NameDrive is much more relaxed then Sedo in my opinion and everyone at NamePros.com calls them the best.

Give them try, I haven't had any problems like you are talking about.

I was getting $2.00 per click on Sedo on my gambling/poker domains. Hopefully it will be simillar here.

Im sure it would, I havent tried a gambling keyword personally

**Bookworm-SEO** · 08-29-2006, 11:36 AM

Just made an account with Sedo, and I may join namedrive (through your shameless promotion BP :P). Does it cost anything to park at namedrive though? And will I see type-in stats?

**breakpoint** · 08-29-2006, 12:48 PM

NameDrive is free and stats update about every hour.

Alright already. I joined namedrive. Parked 4 of my domains so far.
2007Canadagames.com ... I have high hopes for that; the official domain is the same just with .ca . Not sure which parking page will get more clicks/cash though.
Anyways, anyone seen that thread around EF where some bigshot who just sold a domain for xxx,xxx was looking to reinvest in more domains?
