Revenue still dropping, less than $10 RPM — Domain parking

That sinking feeling.

Domain investors continue to note falling domain parking revenue, and most people note earning less than a $10 RPM.

That’s as stated by greater than 1,000 people who answered the parking survey questions on the 7th Annual Reglike Survey.

While a lot of people noted neutral domain parking revenue in 2011 compared to 2010, and some noted greater revenue, this graph tells the tale:

Is this just a case of the modest guys getting squeezed? Hardly. When you consider domainers with 500 or more domains, the number reporting a drop in revenue of 25% to 49% jumps from 31% to 68%.

57% of survey respondents noted earning less than a $10 RPM. Compare this to 2007, ahead of the domain parking bubble burst, and only regarding 1/3 of people then noted an RPM of less than $10.

Domain investors are split on where domain parking revenue will head in 2012. 37% think it will continue to fall. Domainers with more than 500 domains are notably more pessimistic; 77% think parking revenue will continue to fall.
