Domain parking (now often called domain advertising) shows ads on unused domains and pays a share of click revenue. For most names it earns cents; for names with real type-in traffic it can cover renewals or more. This estimator shows monthly and yearly income and compares it with renewal cost and with simply selling.
How to use the Parking Revenue Estimator
- Enter monthly visitors, expected click-through rate and average revenue per click.
- Enter the revenue share and renewal price.
- Press Estimate.
How it works
Revenue = visitors × CTR × revenue per click × your revenue share. RPM (revenue per thousand visitors) is shown so you can compare with provider reports. Parking revenue for ad-funded landers has fallen over the past decade; use conservative inputs.
When to use it
- Deciding whether to park or sell
- Valuing traffic domains
- Comparing parking providers
Pro tips
- A for-sale lander may earn more from one sale than years of parking clicks.
- Developing a simple content site can earn more than parking on traffic names.
