This past week was the most profitable I’ve ever had with parking! Because there were so many keywords in this week’s report, I decided to include only the keywords that paid me more than $1.50 each. I have also sorted everything into keyword categories. You’ll also notice that keywords paying $5.00 or higher are shown in bold. Note that these payouts are what I get paid from my domain parking service. Your results may be higher or lower depending on the parking service or PPC company you use. Here is the list for October 20 through October 26:

Insurance is always a reliably good-paying category:

• auto accident $2.22

It takes time, patience, creativity and persistence to build up a solid domain parking income–especially if you don’t have many generic domains with type-in traffic–but it can be done. Optimize your domains regularly, keep coming back here to see what keywords are paying well right now, and keep improving your methods. There is no reason for anyone to have a portfolio of domains that doesn’t pay for itself and, in fact, put a bit extra in your pocket.

This “week” is shorter due to the fact that I posted a bit late last week. Note that some keywords show a total dollar amount received for clicks on multiple keywords. The reporting features of my domain parking do not allow me to see the value of individual clicks when one domain receives multiple clicks in one day, so I can only give you the total. Keep in mind, however, that each keyword is paying at least $1.00 per click. Here is the keyword list for October 14 thru October 19:

• south beach hotels, finance, credit score ($4.15 total)
• low rate credit card $2.51
• car insurance $5.50
• credit card deals $3.71
• credit repair $2.42
• domain name registration $1.44

• domain registration $1.45
• mortgage, kitchen ($3.90 total)

September was a pretty good month for me in terms of domain parking revenues. My domains saw increased traffic and, in general, higher per-click earnings. If you haven’t recently worked on optimizing your parked domains, this is the time to do it.

I provide these keyword lists to help fellow domainers easily identify keyword categories where you could be optimizing for better revenues on your portfolio. Keep in mind, however, that your domains may received higher or lower per-click payouts than those shown for my portfolio. There are numerous reasons for this, including geo-targeted advertising and the regular testing and optimization of advertiser campaigns for increased ROI. Regardless of the variation in per-click payouts on a given keyword, domain owners can usually increase their parked portfolio earnings by optimizing for the keyword categories that consistently show higher per-click payouts.
