Parking revenue for December 2014 and other updates

Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,

It was quite slow month in terms of revenue but overall it was a great year and I really enjoyed it specially in domaining. I hope 2015 is going to be far better and I expect many positives and exciting things to happen. Below is the parking stats for December 2014 and initially I thought the revenue might be dropped a lot but after calculating from both parking platforms it was quite okay.

Total visitors – 134,000+ (15k increase from the previous month).

Total clicks – 3,900+ (200 more clicks).

Total parked domains – 850 (50 new added).

Total revenue – $590 ($60 decrease compare to November).

Top 5 niche which made the most – Brandable, Games, Health, Music Cooking.

$$ made on a single day – $36

RPM – $5.73 ($.7 less in overall RPM).

CTR – 4.37% (Almost similar to previous month).

Overall it was good other than final outcome of revenue. Also I added another 50 domains.

I didn’t sold any domain in December because there was no attractive offer which I should have accepted. The main reason was due to holiday season and I found December being the slowest month of the year where there are very low number of inquiries received but I am hopeful things will get better starting new year. As planned for this year I have to get more lenient and get more sales this year.

I have moved over 95% of my domains to Uniregistry and although most of my domains are .com, I still have few .co, .cc domains which I wanted to move to Uniregistry as well but the pricing for those extensions is a bit on higher side due to which I have so far kept the remaining domains at GoDaddy. I hope Uniregistry accepts .IM domains in future so that I can bring all my .IM domains there too which are currently with DomainMonster. Not a good control panel of DM but since I have around 15 .IM domain I am okay with them.

Did you saw revenue improvement or were in the same boat of mine for December 2014? Also had any domain sale?

Announcing the New Bodis!

Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,

As I published last post which was the first one of this year of my blog and I found it was the first post at Domaining.com for 2015 as well.

Today I received an announcement from Bodis which I wanted to share with you. Although I don’t use them any more other than parking just couple of domains because I find DomainNameSales.com far better parking platform in all aspects. Even those 2 domains are banned with Google and for that Bodis suits better.

This year we’re starting things off in an exciting way by announcing the launch of the new Bodis!

The new Bodis is a result of years spent gaining knowledge and experience, countless of hours listening to our users, and putting our hearts, souls, and everything we have into making this the best parking service possible.

Here’s some of the notable improvements we’ve made:

-NET 7 payment schedule
-Fast support / ticket system – no inquiry goes unanswered!
-More control over your domains (option to disable ZeroClick, etc)
-For sale options: Escrow.com, Inquiry, Custom URL
-Advanced reporting
-Intuitive user interface
-Folders & search filters
-and more…

WAnnouncing-the-New-Bodis!e’ve also done a lot of soul searching and have decided to return to our roots and remain committed to domain parking only. This means our fixed price marketplace is coming to an end on February 1st, 2015. You can easily continue to list your parked domains for sale via Inquiry, Custom URL, or via our integrated Escrow.com option free of charge.
Lastly, we wanted to say that we have the next few months outlined and have more exciting features and positive improvements on the way!

We hope you like the new service as much as we do!

Sincerely,
The Bodis Team

This news will definitely be good for those using Bodis as their primary parking company.
