Hello,
I guess I am now the newest noobie to Domain Social. Just wanted to introduce myself and kind of give you a heads up on where I stand with domaining.
I got interested in domaining 3 or 4 months ago. At the time I currently owned 7 or 8 domains that I had registered for other businesses that I had tried (I have been trying to make money online for 6 years, and I think I may have made somewhere around $50). After getting interested in domaining (and I do mean interested - I love it) and buying a few ebooks and trying to learn the ropes, I parked these currently owned domains with sedo. Of course, I made nilch. I think I only got about 3 click thrus.
OK. I regrouped, realized I needed domains with organic traffic (which to my understanding is the ONLY traffic you can have with a parked page), purchased another ebook on domain parking, and went on the proverbial search for keyword rich domains that already have high search volume and little competition. I actually found quiet a few in my two favorite niches, with search volume from 20,000 and up per month. I registered these domains and immediately parked them.(I now own 21 domains) I parked some at whypark.com, some at parked.com and some at sedo.com. I researched the keywords I used and placed only the high traffic and high paying keywords for optimization.
I have gotten absolutley no traffic in the month that they have been parked. I have made 15 cents (one of my old domains) in a month. I don't know what I am doing wrong. How long does it take to actually see some traffic? What is an average income for a domain per month (I understand about the cpc, but I'm sure someone can give me a ballpark figure.) I am so discouraged that I am ready to sell out and try something new.
(Oh, by the way, they are all parked at sedo at this time)
Any input will be taken seriously.
