The domain parking revenue was really down this last month as I shifted domains around to new registrars and parking services. I thought 2006 was going to be a great year as more Mexicans and South Americans got internet connected. But it seemed a somewhat disappointing year for domain parking revenue. Perhaps the world climate right now with wars and unrest is causing internet delevopment to be slow.

My affliliate income remains at zero. And, so far, I have yet to earn anything from Google Adsense until I can build some internet traffic.

I have been spreading a few back-links around and I submitted the domain to a couple of search engines. My effort in this has been very poor as I just haven’t had the time to devote. I work a full time job until such a time as my internet and investment income can support the family.

Here is the breakdown for November.

If you have some domains that you have registered that you are not using, you will want to park them to get some income. I’m talking about setting up an account with a domain parking service and let them build landing pages full of ads matched to your domains. They will send you a share of the ppc revenue that is generated from the ad clicks.

Sedo has been the best company for me to work with over the past couple of years and they are one of the oldest and finest companies in the business. They have the best stats and administration panels of any other domain parking company. A very nice feature that sets them apart from others, is graphical displays of your traffic and geographic displays of where your traffic is originating. A few months ago Sedo opened SedoPro. This is their elite program that was built to compete with all of the agressive newcomers to the domain parking business. In my opinion, the SedoPro addition has come at some of the expense of the regular Sedo domainers. Per the FAQ at their site, to establish an account with SedoPro you must have at least 200 domains.

DomainSponsor or Revenue.net is another great domain parking service. Domainers have sworn by their service for years saying that it provides the best income for your domain traffic. Lately, because of the increase in competition with the new domain parking companies coming online, DomainSponsor has tried to make some improvements in their service. For example, they used to use a domain forwarding system that was a little cumbersome. As an improvement, they are encouraging everyone to use their new DNS setup.

NameDrive is one of the newer companies in the domain parking business. I set up an account with them a couple of months ago and I have been very pleased in their service. The landing pages are good and easy to set up. The administration panels and stats pages are very well designed. It seems to be a no hassle type of service which I like very much.

If I were to rank these three services at this moment in time I would say that NameDrive ranks number one. DomainSponsor - Revenue.net ranks number two. Sedo ranks number three. Again, all three of these companies are great to do business with. They all provide good customer service and good websites that are easy to work with. The ranking that I have given is based on how I believe they are performing with the domains that I have parked with them.

Since my Sedo revenue has fallen off due to the addition of the SedoPro, I intend to move several of my domains from Sedo to NameDrive. NameDrive is providing a higher payout.

I do NOT recommend GoldKey or ActiveAudience. These are NameMedia companies. They did not give responses to my customer support tickets and they were slow to make payment.

Please contact me via the Contact page and let me know what domains you have that you would consider selling.

There’s that saying from a movie, “If you build it, they will come.” When it comes to the subject of traffic for websites and blogs, I quote John Chow in saying, “If you build it they will NOT come.” So what good is it that I make this effort to post something original every day? My hope is to endure in this process until such a time that I do have an audience.

I need some good stuff here to attract some readership. Now that I have built the blog, customized the blog, added some plugins, added the Google Adsense, and added an RSS feed, I feel that this place is starting to be hospitable for some readers to come. I would like to compare it to preparing a location to host a party. You establish a location. You make it attractive. You put some stuff there in the room to make the guests feel comfortable. You create an atmosphere so that they will be more tempted to linger longer.

There are hundreds of ways of making money on the internet. PLR is one that I’ll write about today. For those of you who are not familiar with the PLR acronym, it stands for “Private Label Rights”. When you see PLR mentioned on the net, it usually has to do with website content or blog content. Or you could just call it article writing depending on your point of view. There are producers and consumers of PLR. If you like to write, and you want to produce articles - PLR - you can make $10 to $20 for a 250 or 500 word article. Usually these PLR articles are sold in 10, 20, or 30 article blocks so that solicitations for PLR are listed in the $200-$300 range. You might offer your PLR for sale on Ebay, or look for jobs posted at Elance, RentaCoder, or Mturk.

Among the consumers of this PLR content are website publishers, bloggers, and ebook purveyors. They purchase this content at different websites that offer it for sale or they join a PLR membership which provides them with a slew of cheap articles for use. Of course they are looking to purchase ORIGINAL articles and sometimes they get original articles. But a lot of the articles that are exchanged are old articles that are remodeled. Computer software has even been created to take an existing article and add some stuff at the beginning and end of the article to bring it’s original content percentage to an acceptable level of 30% or better. Other software will replace nouns in the article with synonyms to try and make it different from the original. Still other software will take keywords and write entire pages for you although they are not very readable.
The content on Soncy dot com is original. I hope to always keep it original. The hard part is always coming up with something new to post. There are millions of other blogs out there. How is this one going to stand out?

I signed up with the Google Adsense program today. It is a relatively easy thing to do and a fairly generic process. You must have a website already in order to establish an account with them. After you go through an email verification process you will then wait a day or two at the most for Google to examine your website and see if it meets their approval before your account is opened.

How much can you expect to earn from Google Adsense? Well, not much at first if you are putting it on a newly built website without established traffic. There is a decent analysis of Adsense income projection here at associateprograms.com

John Chow has some essential tips on Adsense ad size and placement for a Wordpress blog to get the best results. He says that the 300×250 inline box works best.

I just got my Adsense account activation notice in the email(same day service) and I’ll have that Adsense block in here once I add some Wordpress plugins.

I intend to include in my blog several methods of getting employed by the WWW and earning an income. I choose to put up some websites as a means of earning advertising revenue. It’s just one of many things I’ll blog about. This is a Wordpress blog. It seems easy enough to throw together and maintain. I’m very impressed with it actually. Several hosting companies offer it as an install option. You can use this thing called Fantastico if your hosting company offers it, and Fantastico will auto-install it for you.

It’s important to attach your websites to a good domain. This is key for success. I’ll discuss that in detail later this week.

Right now, I need a little more content and then I’ll add the Google Adsense.

This is all about “net” income. My goal is to give you the very newest and best methods of producing an income from your clicks and keystrokes. If you’re like me, you’re tired of working for the man. You’re tired of the “office games”. You’re tired of fighting the traffic. You’re tired of making someone else wealthy and not getting the recognition you deserve. Follow my progress. Together we will find out what works and what doesn’t.
