Survey: domainers have a fresh favorite domain parking firm

InternetTraffic selected as top domain parking firm.

Less than two years following opening his own domain parking platform, domain investor Frank Schilling is at the top of the heap.

Participants in Reglike’s 8th annual industry survey have selected InternetTraffic as the top domain parking service.

Data show that the domain parking business is still fragmented. InternetTraffic received 22% of the vote but seven firms received at least 6%.

Here are the top parking firms as stated by the survey:

1. InternetTraffic 22%
2. Sedo 17%
3. Voodoo 8%
4. Bodis, Rook, GoDaddy, SmartName (6%, tie)

Domain owners continue to note relatively low RPMs on their parked domains.

38% noted earning less than $10 per 1,000 page views in 2012:

42% of respondents stated their domain parking revenue was down in 2012 compared to the prior year, with 15% reporting a drop of at least half.

29% noted an increase while 28% stated it was flat.

Domainers aren’t bullish regarding 2013, either. 34% think parking revenue will go down while only 24% predict an improvement.
