Monetizing Parked Domains

I now say yes to monetizing parked domains . If you buy numerous domains that you never have time to monetize than maybe you should slow down on your domain name purchases. If you have lots of domains already registered that are parked, I feel that it is best to unpark them and start monetizing parked domains.

Take one out of parking tomorrow and even this evening and slap a wordpress theme onto it. Go into wordpress and add a large list of ping services in the settings, and take off the extra items in the sidebar. Then go into a keyword finder program and find around 5 good long tailed keyword phrases. With each phrase write a post. Just write posts that contain 250-400 words each and make sure that you include the associated long tailed phrases at least three times within the post. Add affiliate links to each post also. Plus, upload a photo to each post and now your site is ready for some action. The next step is to search for backlinks. For instance, you could add your link to at least 10 different bookmarking sites, and also write an article for an article site that will allow you to add links within the article. If you have other site that is related to this new one, add a backlink on that site to your new site. This might sound simple, but it can be. Does it take a lot of work ?  Yes it does. Try to set-up at least 3 new sites per week and after one year you will have around 150 sites.

The revenue that you can earn through parking 150 sites is a lot less than the amount that you have the potential to make via monetizing parked domains yourself. Even if you only earn 3 dollars a month per site by self monetizing parked domains, that will total to be $750 a month. Making $3 per month is achievable and it better than the 20 cents or less that you may make by parking your domains.

What do you think ? Do you prefer monetizing a site right away or parking it ?
