Google Adsense For Domains can be used to make money with parked domains. It’s a new adsense product launched by Google.

So I hear you asking, what are parked domains? They are domains you have purchased but not yet used. It’s annoying to find out that the domain registrars typically put their own ads on these domains.

So if any visitor happens to arrive on your website during this period of time before you upload a website, all they will find is the domain registrar ad’s.

Usually the domain registrar will NOT give you any share of the revenue if an ad is clicked by the visitor unless you sign up for their “revenue service” which in many cases involves a charge. So you have to pay for the privilege of loading their ad’s on your website if you want a share of the revenue.

Adsense for domains to the rescue! Using this totally free program, you get to keep the profits made from ads clicker by your visitors.

You also get to choose the theme of the site so you can really target visitors (this is done by keywords).

It’s very easy to theme your parked domain, and this means the visitors who finds your website is shown content and advertisements related to their search query.

Because of this, it’s more likely they will interact with the content on your parked domain. End result? More ad clicks!

Which is better? The regular adsense of the adsense for domains?

Google Adsense for domains is for parked domains e.g. sites you have no website for.

So this is a fast way to put something on your domain, and possibly make a few bucks while you are deciding what to do with your domain.

The google adsense program on the other hand, is aimed at domains that have a website loaded up. The ad’s are put in the content you upload, so you really need a website first.

Which program is the better payer?

I found that Google adsense for domains paid significantly more “per click” than other competitor sites did (sedo, namedrive, etc) but paid less than the equivalent click from the regular google adsense program.

How do I get it to work?

Adsense for domains was pretty straight forward to setup and Google have attempted to make it easier by providing good information, including detailed steps for the main domain registrars (like godaddy, namecheap, etc).

An online video would be useful. Once time, it’s simple to do for each parked domain.

So how much money will you make?

I found I did make money (and continue to) with google adsense for domains. I’ve trialed it on about 20 of my parked domains so far with good results. Of course it won’t help if you have no web traffic, but obtaining traffic is outside the scope of this article.

Final Comments

I suggest that you setup Google Adsense for domains anytime you purchase a new domain that you are not planning to immediately use. It’s very easy to setup a channel for each domain, so that you can see how many visitors are arriving each day, and the amount of money you are making for each domain.

Once you see a domain is getting some clicks and generating money, consider making that a proper website.

It’s free to try and nothing to buy, so you have nothing to lose to try it out.
