Traffic.Club Sàrl will be the new name of KeyDrive’s NX traffic monetization service.
I took a trip down memory lane last week when I noticed that the domain name TrafficClub.com sold on Sedo for $899.
TrafficClub.com was a domain traffic splitting system created over a decade ago by Moniker. Clients pointed their domain names to TrafficClub, and the service split-test traffic between multiple parking companies.
Oversee.net shuttered the service after acquiring Moniker. It pushed customers to use its DomainSponsor parking service instead.
Now the Traffic Club brand is getting a rebirth as Traffic.Club Sàrl, a new company owned by KeyDrive. (KeyDrive bought Moniker from Oversee.net.) It will be a different service than what domainers remember.
KeyDrive sold assets of its NameDrive parking service to ParkingCrew earlier this year. KeyDrive retained an NX traffic monetization service for ISPs that monetizes traffic to non-existent and non-resolving domain names. It committed to change the brand for this service within a period of time.
So KeyDrive decided to go with the Traffic.Club brand. It purchased the premium Traffic.Club domain name from the .Club registry and then quickly picked up TrafficClub.com on Sedo.
Traffic.Club will not monetize traffic for domainers. However, it might open up Traffic.Club to domainers to purchase traffic at some point.

So funny – when we first created TrafficClub it was the first of its kind in doing parking system comparing and auto designating domain traffic allocations based on what was paying the best. We had domainsponsor, hitfarm, google and yahoo feeds along with 2 adult feeds all working together.
No several companies do what we pioneered almost 15 years ago!
Good Luck with the name Key-Systems / KeyDrive!

Pretty sure iMonetize pioneered the multi-feed domain parking

But first we had to invent the internet, which so many people no use around the world. We pioneered modern combustion engine so well no people use it around the world as well!
Good luck to everyone.

interesting to see that the main site is Traffic.club and not trafficclub.com
