I haven’t even logged in to see Oenophiles.com stats, which is the only WhyPark site I have. I’ve never used DevHub before. My AEIOU sites have all done well – in part because I’ve added content.

@Rob
I’ve approached domainers and sell based on all factors but never on a rev multiple. More like this generic name is making $/day, would you want to buy it for $?

I know they are all similar but different in set up and design but has anyone moved one domain from one to another to test?

I think that would make for a great article if someone took ten domains and moved them from one to the other over the course of several months.

Or,

Maybe take the same keyword string and put a .com at one, a .net at another and a .org at the third and see what they are doing several months out.

2. Anyone using whypark’s parked.com ad feed vs google adsense? Good or bad?

Thanks.

Are you approaching the buyers or are they comming to you?

Are you selling based on Traffic or Revenue?

Interested to know what is happening with them?

I think its a nice post elliot and shall others.

Enjoy your weekend!

Robbie

I think it makes a few dollars a day, but I haven’t checked. I am disappointed though because I think it should be more with the 200+ uniques a day (and growing).

Good timing on this post… I was just thinking about this issue today, wondering if I’m getting it wrong somehow. I would love you, or someone, to put the actual earnings out there so the rest of us know what realistic expectations are. To date my minisite adsense earnings, even on a premium domain, have been a disappointment. $2 a day average.

You didn’t mention TropicalBirds.com, did you sell it?

Thanks for all of your work on this blog!

Mark

Otherwise, you’ll need different traffic strategy and content to bring ‘em in. Very good brandables work too, but stay away from anything that looks spammy to appear authentic and trustworthy.

I thought there was some helpful info to possibly dissuade people from spending $200+ on newly registered domain names, when they probably won’t bring much of a return – especially if they are in competitive industries.

If you have any questions that I can help you with, drop me a note and I will try to help or give advice.

Time to go apply some aloe :) Enjoy the weekend.
