January Domain Name Parking Results

2007 started off strong for domain name parking revenue.

I’m a bit perplexed regarding how to note my domain name parking statistics for January. Compared to December 2006, my revenue was up. Also, my results with DomainSponsor and Skenzo on TrafficClub were very high. But something weird happened to my Google Adsense for Domains stats on January 1. The number of page views suddenly skyrocketed. My Google revenue was up a bit (regarding double), but not nearly enough to compensate for having 7 times the traffic as stated by the stats. I suspect that there was an error for Google stats reporting, which throws all of my stats out of whack.

But here’s what I do know. My DomainSponsor results were excellent. My targeted DomainSponor RPM was $257.51 and my untargeted DomainSponsor RPM was $12.92. Skenzo earned a $59.00 RPM, which is a bit lower than other months. My best domain had an RPM of $581.35.

My SedoPro account earned an RPM of $19.66 in January. Remember, you can’t compare this to my TrafficClub account since most of the domains at SedoPro weren’t performing well at TrafficClub (that’s why I moved them). My best domain earned an RPM of $98.86. One of my high traffic domains earned a $9.94 RPM, which is good given that most of the traffic is from Mexico.

Hopefully I’ll have better statistics from TrafficClub to note next month. So far in February the inflated Google Adsense for Domains numbers are still showing up in my account.
