If you did not read about whypark and how they became free go ahead and catch up first. I also started a case study at the same time to see really how well they get you caught up with your domain parking business. I let this run for just over a month so i can see what a real average between the visitors actually visiting the site naturally and what the revenue might be like in that situation.

What i found was pretty normal as far as the service goes. The traffic was not great but there was traffic. I think that was the biggest part of the whole case study was to see if i could get some traffic from no traffic. I picked this domain because i knew that it was not perfect and that it did not have ANY traffic what so ever before putting it up at whypark. Below is a screen show of the traffic and revenue of the past month:

Whypark Stats

As you can my biggest day was 6 visits. Not really anything exciting but it is something from nothing. Now you may see the revenue there and see there was some clicks. Well yes there was but it was in the cents region. Nothing to get crazy about but if this were a higher paying niche it might have been a bit better.

One thing that i was no happy with at all was i could not find a way to put google analytics in anywhere. Now i did not have to have analytics but i would have liked to have some kind of analytics engine to see where exactly the traffic was coming from and why they went there. Other than that it was a breeze to use and fun to watch.

If you were wondering what the total traffic and revenue was:

Traffic: 73 Visits

Revenue: $0.21

Considering that i only set this up with the basic set-up with no custom pages or articles i am sure that it can be optimized much much more. The biggest thing for this is that i wanted to make sure it was done with a basic set-up done in the easiest way possible, basically worst case scenario. This way that if it did produce results then it means that you can easily achieve what goals you want to set for the sites you create with whypark.com.

To follow up on the WhyPark.com Just Went FREE post i thought i would do a case study to see the real power of WhyPark.com. So basically i picked a crappy domain for this, BeerComments.com.

First thing i did was obviously change the nameservers. Thought it would be best to do this ASAP since it can take a while for everything to get going.

Here is the first part of the “Site Creation”:

NewSite Creation

As you can see the first prompts are the meta listings and general idea of what the site is about. The categories are pretty broad but i think that is just for their marketplace. You can not see it in the screenshot but you can also choose how many articles are displayed per page. The other big thing is that you can display whypark.com ads or 3rd party ads, i.e. adsense, yahoo, ect. For the sake of the case study i am going to choose the whypark.com ads. Also if you have the Enhanced or Managed plans you can add an RSS feed.

From there you will be able to choose a layout. There are many to choose from. You can choose from 45 standard templates or if you have the enhanced or managed plan there are 394 premium templates. I went with the Brewing/Beer template. Pretty simple but works great.

After this point you can now customize the layout and links on the site. You can even add your own custom pages. This is why this system is so powerfull and can save you time over creating a mini-site. I did not customize anything on the site just for the sake of this case study. I want to keep everything to the bare minimum to see if the system is as powerful as claimed.

As you can see even with the base features this is a super exciting system. If you are looking for a way to make money with your domains but simply dont have the money or traffic you would like. Then try out this FREE system and see what you can pull in. I will be touching base with this in a month or 2 so keep an eye out.

Yes that is right Whypark.com is now offering a FREE service to its customers. This is pretty big news for the company since in the past you had to pay $100 to get an account for 100 domains.

WhyPark.com is a Parking 2.0 company, that’s what i like to call them. They basically offer a different way to “park” domain names. You could call their service a site creation platform. If you have not heard of them in the past you might want to check this service out and give it a try, ITS FREE.

One reason to check this service out is because it creates a site for your domains. You know what that means, SEARCH ENGINE INCLSION. Yes you read it right you can create backlinks and get your site included in search engines. This is huge considering a normal parking companies sites are thrown out like a banana peal. They also have many other add on services that obviously cost money but some of them are worth it.

So head over to WhyPark.com and give it a try. Even if its with one domain at least you can say you tried it. They also have 2 other paid services for the more advanced users. These prices are $10/mo for the Enhanced plan and $25/mo for the Managed plan. These plans include things like discounts on other services, image hosting, and access to premium templates.
