Google Adsense for Domains

If you are unfamiliar with domain parking or not completely sure what it is see domain parking.

Future of Domain Parking
This is not the most profitable area on the internet. In fact it becomes less and less profitable every year for a couple of reasons. The first is domain parking takes advantage of type in traffic. That is the people who find your site by directly typing the url into the address bar instead of using a search engine. Only 15% of internet surfers type what they are looking for straight into the address bar and add .com to it. The other 85% use a search engine.

Unless you have a short domain or a competitive search term in your domain you are unlikely to get a whole lot of type in traffic. Since search engines will not index parked domains you will receive little to no traffic from the engines as well. That means you will receive little to no money. You need to make atleast what you paid for the domain name to break even. Many beginners find this difficult.

So, if you are considering doing this to build an serious income go a different direction. If you are just looking to experiment and play around that’s fine. There are many other ways to make money online that will give you a much better return for your time and efforts. There are many more ways to make money with adsense that will give you a better return than this.

With this said there are still many reasons to park domains. It is just not as useful for making money online as it used to be.

Why Use Adsense for Domains?
While there are several other domain parking services out there you may want to consider adsense for domains for many reasons. The first reason is that google, being the savvy company they are, has tested and optimized ad layouts to find the most profitable ones. You are likely to not see the same results with a low profile parking service.

Another reason you may want to consider using adsense for domains is if you already make money with adsense other ways. You may just want to use it for its convenience. If you already have a google account it is easy to set up. You could save yourself time trying to find a better parking service. Chances are you will not find to0 many better ones and will just waste your time. Plus you will get access to data from this anytime you check other adsense earnings.

Adsense for Domains Set Up
To get started you will need a domain name. First you need to find a cheap domain seller. The most popular provider is GoDaddy. However, I do not recommend going with them because there are many other cheap providers that offer lower prices. Domain parking is a low profit game and a few dollars per domain can mean the difference between a profit and loss, especially when you are working with a larger amount of domains.

Cheapest Domain Providers
1. Domains Are Free - $3.99 per domain
2. Net Firms - $5.99 per domain
3. Estdomains - 7.19 per domain
4. Lucky Register - $7.95 per domain
5. Godaddy - $9.99 per domain

Once you have purchased some domain names that you think may receive traffic or if you already own a domain name you can now log into your google account. If you do not already have account you will need to sign up. Registration is free and approval usually only takes a couple days.

After you are approved log into your google account and click on the adsense set up tab. There you will see a list of the different ways to make money with adsense. Click on the adsense for domains link to get started.

What To Do From There

Step 1. - Add your domain(s)

Google will allow you to park up to 100 domains. For what reason you can not park more than that is unknown.

Step 2. - Modify Registrar Settings

This is probably the hardest part of the whole process for most people, especially beginners who have never used adsense for domains. Depending on your registrar google will give you specific instructions on what you have to adjust to enable google to place ads on your domain.

Step 3. - Customize Color Scheme

The third step is to customize your ads the way you want them to appear. Do not get to fancy, sometimes basic is better. Beginners often times put too much thought into color schemes. The result is normally a lot of wasted time and poor ad performance. I recommend going with the standard format that google has set up for adsense for domains.

Step 4. - Choose and Add Keywords

This is one of the most important steps. Choosing the wrong keywords can be the difference in a profitable campaign and one that loses money. Take some time to pick and choose the most appropriate keywords that related to your domain name the most. The more targeted your ads are the more clicks you will get so invest some time in picking keywords.

Step 5. - Set Up Channels

The last step is to set up channels so that you can track the performance of each individual domain. That way you know which ones are making you money and which ones are losing you money.

Adsense for Feeds
If you have a lot of RSS subscribers you may want to consider implementing adsense for feeds. If you are already using adsense for domains you can easily log into feedburner and create a full feedburner feed with adsense ads in minutes.
