Domaining, Internet Marketing & SEO - DomainerSEO RSS

Building a website is just the first step. Search engine optimization (SEO) will get your site listed in Google and other search engines. That's a good start, but marketing and promotion will bring in even more traffic.

If you own domains that you are not using you can park them and earn money. These parked domains can even earn more than fully developed domains. Sounds simple, right? It can be, but it may be hard to know how to start. I spend a lot of time helping people earn money from domain parking at parkquick.com. This site will be more free-form. I'll add stuff here that's too brief or too ephemeral to add to ParkQuick.

I'm coming at this from a different angle. I'm a domainer first. I'm learning the rest of it. I'll share a lot of what I learn - but who shares everything?

2007 may be best remembered as the year of “traffic quality.” The amount that domainers are earning per click was down between 10% and 30% according to our own figures and reports from other reliable domainers. There has been a lot of speculation as to the reasons for this. If you advertise using Google’s AdWords or Yahoo’s similar service you probably haven’t seen a similar decrease in the cost of your ads. Many cuts in payouts have been made in the name of “traffic quality,” but I doubt that this is the whole story. There were lots more PPC pages competing for ads than in previous years. Almost all registrars include PPC ads on their generic parking pages now - for people who have purchased a domain but not done anything at all with it. The growth of “domain tasting” - where people “buy” a domain, test it, and get their money back within a few days - may also be a factor. With so many sites competing for ads Google and Yahoo can afford to pay a little less.
