More monetization options for domainers.
Over the weekend, I experimented with setting up some of my (formerly parked) domain names with domain parking alternatives DevHub and WhyPark.
I setup the Finnweb.com website as a resource for Finnish products and the like with DevHub. One problem with DevHub (it’s still in beta) is that it is serving ads based on the word “Finn” rather than the “Finland OR Finnish” keywords I selected.
The others I set up with WhyPark:
- Auto Bailout
- Book, Movie, and Music Reviews
- Buzz Marketing
- Cancer News
- Church Blog
- Entertainment Patent Lawyers
- Fertility Info
- Game Patent Lawyers
- Get MORE FOR Your Money
- Grinding
- Home Loan News
- Jewelry Store
- Newspaper Industry
- Patent Lawyer Directory
- Pilot Blog

- Restaurant Reviews

- Shoulder Surgery
- Skirt Store
- Social Networking
- Sports Patent Lawyers
- Stove Shop
- Stuff That Sucks
- Theater Info
- There Is No Blog
- Toy Patent Lawyers
- Twitter News
WhyPark is clearly the more mature platform, but they made it really difficult to find basic info like what the DNS servers should be. Also, basic WhyPark websites cost money ($100 for 100 sites, more or less) and appear to be much less interesting than DevHub’s sites (which are free).
Time will tell which prevails, but both appear to be good alternative to “traditional” domain parking companies such as DomainSponsor and Sedo.
