Hello and Assalamo Alaikum,
There wasn’t much changes in parking revenue for September so I thought to skip it this time and move on to October parking revenue which was quite better.
Total visitors – 135,000+ (10k increase from the previous month).
Total clicks – 4,500+ (not much changes).
Total parked domains – 800 (An increase of 50 domains).
Total revenue – $650 (some improvement).
Top 5 niche which made the most – Games, Health, Photography, Cooking, Music.
$$ made on a single day – $31
RPM – $6.02 (Almost $1 increase in overall RPM).
CTR – 4.57% (Little drop in this one).
So now I have 800 domains under my portfolio and as per my 5 goals to reach by this year, I have to get 1,000 domains by the end of Dec 2014 which to be honest seems not quite possible. One of the main reason is I don’t see that many good domains dropping due to which I am unable to buy quality names. Also the prices have gone much higher and many crazy people are overpaying for domains which are worth far less than what they actually ends up paying for it.
Also, there is political unrest in my country and I am very much focused on this issue and sometimes I have forgot to bid on domains at the last minute. I can count this one of the reason for which chances of having 1k domains at the end of this year seems low.
Last month I lost at least one domain in auction due to electricity outage which is very much normal in my country. In summer, 15+ hours electricity is shut off even in big cities like mine. This is frustrating specially when I wanted to bid at the last minute of auction and finds out myself on the losing side because of this reason. Time is up for our corrupt politicians who are currently leading our country and they have come into power by fake votes. My prayers are with Imran Khan whom everyone wants to come into power and In Sha ALLAH we will see him in action by next year when midterm elections will be held and all corrupt politicians will be held accountable.
Stay tuned for my next post where I will share couple of my domain sales completed last month.
What has been your parking revenue for October 2014? Made any sale recently which you would like to share?

Thanks Vijay for your kind words.
It would be good with tradepartner or partstrading. Others two good if developed specially the ClassyWebhosting. Try to focus on more quality domains.
Good luck Vijay! 🙂
Congrats Bro!
Thanks DKN 🙂
Thanks for the update.
I wouldn’t rush to your 1000 domain name target.
Just let it come naturally because you will either end up overpaying or with bad domains.
Right on money and good advice 🙂
If it’s any consolation, I just missed out on a couple auctions because of crap internet connection haha. Nightmare.
Good to find someone in the same boat 😀
I have seen some guys bidding in the very last few seconds of an auction (can be specially seen at Pheenix as they have live countdown ticker) and I wonder how much they trust on their internet connections and electricity whereas I cannot afford to act like them.
First time visitor here Abdul, however known you not-so-personally for quite sometime.
Figures and revenue on parking looks decent as of now, however do not rush to that 1k figure mark or else you will probably end up with bad names in the folio.
Look forward to connecting with you someday soon as we are just few miles apart as I am based out of Amritsar, Punjab and Pakistan’s border is mere 25 km from here and Lahore is about 40 km’s.
Good luck!
Good to see you around here Jay and thanks for your feedback 🙂
That’s very close to Lahore! But since I live in Karachi, it’s far away. However, I am hopeful we will meet some day soon may be in a domain conference. Keep in touch 🙂
“Also the prices have gone much higher and many crazy people are overpaying for domains which are worth far less than what they actually ends up paying for it.”
Totally agree with you, many people now have unrealistic expectations when it comes to price their (often junk) domains …
So take it easy and keep being selective … no need to hurry …
As regards the chaos in Pakistan, some people are really insane, as you can check here: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-29893809
Take care and stay safe! 🙂
Sometimes I feel sorry for those who ends up paying high prices but if they don’t empty their wallets quickly, how will we get domains for cheap 😉
That’s really insane what happened recently (about the link you shared). I strongly condemn this. These illiterate people
Our politicians are the most corrupted one’s in the whole world. Nothing to be proud but sadly it’s true.
Thanks for coming and sharing your views 🙂
“Our politicians are the most corrupted one’s in the whole world. Nothing to be proud but sadly it’s true.”
We feel the same here in the USA. Its disgusting and pathetic.
IMO, there is certain degree of limitations set even in corruption worldwide by the politicians but in our place it’s really different. Recently our PM visits United Nation and spent $400,000 for just 3 days visit. Stayed in a hotel with $10,000 p/night charges. More than 65% of our population is below the poverty line and are unable to get food for even 2 times a day and our PM goes in private jets and spends money like water. Our PM is the second richest person of Pakistan and paid $50 annual tax. He is the renown in United Kingdom… Read more »
AbdulBasit,
Corrupted politicians abound here in Italy as well, and they are still sacking the country, together with organized crime and white collars criminals (banksters and friends …) … it’s time for a revolution!
And yes, I also hate overpaying for domains 🙂

Thanks bro 🙂
Yeah, I will be sharing that in detail today or tomorrow.
Was waiting for this progress update post, Congrats and good steady going/growth. I think you should swap Your Goal of 1k Domain with 1k$ Parking Revenue.( may be its already on the list ) 15 Hrs Outage in city is too much, we have max 4 hours outage in a City in India in two spell of 2-2 hours Rizq (Sustenance) is destined ( as Domains also a part of this ), It will come to you, no matter what, If you are destined for it. But we should keep trying to get them with 100 % efforts and strategy.… Read more »
Thanks Zaki for your feedback 🙂
Actually both of those are on my goals list so let’s see how things fold out at the end of this year.
Very well said about Rizq and putting 100% efforts 🙂
