Newcomer Parked.com has great landing pages and pays twice each month.
It seems like every week a new domain parking company enters the market. (And we’re just a week or two away from Sedo launching its SedoPro service, which many domainers are anxiously awaiting.)
But Parked.com might give other parking services a run for their money. Some of Parked.com’s features will at least push the competitive edge so that other parking companies have to improve their services to compete.
Let’s start with the domain name. Any parking company with a sweet domain name like Parked.com scores some points in my book.
Here are some features that set this newcomer up for success:
-Instant account activation — no waiting for approval. I signed up for another parking service a week ago and still haven’t heard back.
-Instant domain activation — no waiting for approval on individual domains despite this service using Yahoo ads (which typically have a delay).
-No mininum number of domains to qualify
–Twice monthly payments — this sets the bar compared to services that pay monthly and typically net 30 or net 45
-Allows IDNs — this is rare!
-Nice landing pages
Here’s an example of a single page lander: PaperClip.org
Here’s a two-click lander: GolfTalent.com
I will report on my RPM results in a couple weeks after I give Parked.com the opportunity to optimize my domains. Parked.com offers a 10% referral bonus. I’d appreciate you clicking on the banner below if you plan to try out their service:

Doesn’t SedoPro already exist?
Editor says
Yes, SedoPro exists but it’s in beta and requires and invite. It will be fully launched soon.

Does Parked.com perform good results for european domain names?
Editor says
MissDomain, I’m not sure as I don’t have any that fit into that bucket. But since they’re one of the only parking services to allow IDNs I wouldn’t be surprised to see them monetize european domains well.
