What is free domain parking? Why are people so eager to park their newly bought domains? The answer is, people try to make revenue from domain names they buy as an investment. Those people think of domain names as something you buy when you want to launch a website. However, there are other reasons to purchase a domain name. About seven or eight years ago domain names as an investment class emerged in a large scale. Entire firms were born that bought and sold domain names as their primary business model. As this developed, the industry of domain name parking also was born. As with everything on the Internet, free domain parking soon arrived to entice people with domain names to park.
So what does the domain owner gaffe from free domain name parking? They get a place to store their domain where content is shown to the end-user rather than a simple advertising page. Many of the free domain parking companies work on an advertising revenue sharing model. This means that the revenue from ads is split between the person who bought the domain and the parking company that is hosting the domain and supplying the content area from the research we've done we've learned that most of the revenue from these ads comes from type in traffic. Type in traffic means people coming directly to the website by typing in the domain name into the browser. One of the problems here is that this type of traffic is dropping as more more people use search engines to find the content they want on the Internet. Additionally, there are less and less domain names available for purchase. Almost all comment to word phrases have been purchased at this point under the .com suffix.
I am not sure what the future holds for free domain parking and the whole domainer industry. However, it will be interesting to watch. I also have a hunch that search engine optimization will become important to the domain name investors in a way that it hasn't been so far.
