Default Parked Domains

I have several domains parked with NameDrive that are not getting any visits or click-thrus. I chose ND after reading some good reviews from customers that had seen almost instant revenue streams from their domains but so far I have seen nothing.

I am new to domain parking so am looking for some tips on how to improve the chances of earning from them. Any simple starter points would be appreciated.

Thanks

Simon

Hiya Simon

Always a bit cyncial of domain parking claims. We've got about 30 parked with sedo.com (must stop collecting domains!)

A few of them generate a few clicks, but nothing worthwhile, prob makes £10 per year

Mainly there to see if anyone wants to buy them, had a few offers, but everytime I counter them with a bit more, never hear anything again

I'm starting to let some of the more ropey ones expire, as previous project ideas disappear as a new one comes along!

I decided to move my domains to Sedo a few days ago after a few recommendations. I had an offer for one of my domains at the weekend - see below - it seems it might be an appraisal scam but I am not sure why and if that would work??

The 'offer' came from a chap called Jerry Eisenberg at name-deals.com - anyone had dealings with them??

"How much do you want for your domain?

We have found it listed for sale and we have a good offer for you.

Our comapny invests in domains and developed sites. If you have a list of
domains for sale, please send the list with prices in plain text.

We prefer ".com", ".net", ".co", ".co.uk", ".us" and easy-to-remember
names with other extensions.

Regards,

Jerry Eisenberg

Well according to the domain registrar, name-deals.com was registered by James Whitham, in Hull on 26th July 2010
