Parking Revolution Updated With Great Monetization and Unique Content Features

Filed under: Uncategorized on 31st Jan 2009 by Mark Fulton

When I originally announced Parking Revolution the response was phenomenal.  Parking Revolution is a new service that allows you to develop your domain names into beautiful mini-sites loaded with fresh content and ready to monetize.  The guys behind the scenes have been actively listening to and encouraging user feedback and putting your ideas into action!

Great New Feature Updates

  • Widget creation system, that allows you to create sidebar widgets for all parked domains. This is extremely useful for creating additional advertising spots, sponsoring content, sharing links or even creating simple blogrolls.
    • I used this to create a blogroll on one of my sites and already sold a link for $20 a month!
  • Now there are three types of customization includes: Header, Meta and Footer. Header includes will be added right after the <body> tag, Meta includes will be added between the <head> tags and Footer includes will be added right before the closing </body> tag.
    • This was my suggestion, thanks for adding header includes!  I can now create a network bar and link all my Parking Rev sites together!
  • Individual banner includes are now possible. This means that, instead of using the global banner includes, one of your domains can use specific includes.
    • One of the most requested features, now live!  Create unique AdSense code for each domain name.
  • If you feel that the default content being displayed by Parking Revolution isn’t very relevant to your domain subject, you can display content imported from an RSS feed.
  • Create new custom pages for any of your domain mini-sites.

Bugs Be Gone

  • Google Analytics integration now works perfectly
  • Performance tweaks on the entire system
  • Better cache for parked domains (means they will load faster)
  • Optimizations and minor bug fixes in the RSS Merging tool
  • Optimizations and minor bug fixes in the Rewrite Content tool

Sign Up!  Parking Revolution is amazingly only $15 per month to develop up to 100 of your domain names!  I can almost guarantee it will be one of the best investments you make!  Visit ParkingRevolution.com now.

I want $2.5m for my Domain as it is Domain Art! How do you deal with unrealistic sellers?

Filed under: Uncategorized on 30th Jan 2009 by admin

 

This is not a joke, but an actual reply I got from someone I contacted to see if their domain was for sale. Now sure it was a nice name (a LLLL.com) – that could have probably fetched $2,000 on the aftermarket. But $2.5m and Domain Art?

Now I haven’t been involved in this business as long as some but has anyone ever come across Domain art before?

 

Anyway I think this is a perfect example of an unrealistic seller. Sure it’s his property and he can put it on sale for whatever he likes. But this guy wasn’t willing to budge and I believe he genuinely thought his name could fetch that sort of price.

Now this is obviously an extreme case and in situations like this I just walk away as there are plenty of other deals around the corner.

 

In the past I had done a lot of my buying off non domainers, but I’ve found lately their price expectations haven’t taken into account the current economic conditions. Also this is the area where you are likely to find the most unrealistic pricing.

On a couple of occasions I have forwaded on comparable sales and also let them know that only a fraction of domain sales recorded are for $50k+. I have also advised they check out Namebio and DNjournal – to look at similar sales. (this has only worked on one occasion and it took over a month for him to see the light..)

 

So for the last few months the only buying I have been doing is from Domainers, because as a whole they know what the market is doing and the sort of prices they can get for their names and they’re also more willing to flip for a small profit and move onto the next thing.

So going forwards I will have my eyes on the aftermarket looking for deals with realistic sellers.

 

If you have any funny stories about unreasonable price requests please do post them here.
