Due to the uniqueness of my domain it allows me to get around 1k - 5k visitors a month. (Not 100% sure if that's good or not though!)

 

I don't know what to do with the domain. It's just sitting there.

 

I've heard about Domain Parking but have no idea whether it's good or where I should do it from.

 

Seems pointless putting tonnes of ads on it if it's a single page.

 

Please also understand that I'm looking to make money on it without much effort.

 

Thanks

Have you thought about selling it? Is it a highly sought after domain? Are the visitors people who are perhaps looking to buy that domain and wanted to see if it's available?

 

Are you willing to tell us the domain so we know what we're working with?

Hi Paul,

 

Yes I believe the domain is sort after.

 

It's a single, 4 letter, common word under .net.

 

It gets about 1k visits a month.

 

I'm not really looking to sell it although I have had some offers, I'm more looking to just advertise on it somehow or just the best way to monetize it.

 

Thanks a lot

Depends what the traffic is like. Is it organic or just a miss spelt domain? What's the bounce rate like? I have a domain that gets around 50k unique visits a month and I've got Adsense on there, makes about 100 quid a month. But I've not set the website up to make money.

 

Not sure how you'll monetise it without adverts. Maybe get them to sign up to a newsletter and then send ads out to them.

 

Depending the website it's not *bad* amount of traffic it's just not a lot to make money from adverts. Worth sticking some ads on it to make a few quid

Bounce rate will be high because it's a one oage website but look at how long they spend on there

The key to answering your question is knowing what the domain name is. You own it so we can't steal it, even if we wanted too. "A 4 letter word" could be so many things. If it is a rude word the split it up with *a*s*t*r*i*x*e*s* like that and I am sure people will understand you are not being rude.

Hi, thanks a lot for your help and suggestions!

 

These are the stats for this month:

 

You can see the domain in the bottom-left of the picture

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks a lot you guys.

Looking at what you have I'd say most are not going to be stopping long, maybe you will need to create some related content. Pages that people will browse to find zone calculators, facts, and that sort of thing. Then rent out space on pages for websites to have quality links to their content, you can monitor their content and decide the quality of it for yourself.

 

If you want this to work though the traffic will need to be increased in order to add value to the rented space. In the first instance you can rent space out for a small fee, and as traffic increases you can increase your rates as well.

 

Start with some research to find things that people are paying for at the moment on the subject of time, try and find out why they are paying for it and how much. Then have a brainstorming session to find something that will interest this sector if it was available for free and thus attract site traffic.

 

Then get creative and build a little content. One extra page and a couple of good links in, plus a few free listings will add value to the space you are going to rent out. Then start advertising that you have spaces on your page where people can pay to advertise their content.

 

Start small, any income can be reinvested back into getting the perceived value of rentable space up for a year or two before you start to draw any income for yourself. Don't get greedy as that will hold it back, there is probably not a big cash cow to be found with this but given time it could pay a small income per annum.

Firstly, awesome domain! Theres a lot that can be done with that, I have loads of ideas for it already!

 

Secondly, we have to be realistic here. Weedy has some great ideas but you need huge volumes of traffic to make any sort of money from advertising. IS the time invested going to yield good revenue? Again, we need to be realistic and determine if your time is worth it or even if there is good pools of traffic. I can't say i've been interested in the Time niche.

 

Any offers made for it? It really is a nice domain buddy! Well jealous

Answer to the question set out in the thread title? Consider yourself very fortunate

 

That is a top domain name considering these big companies/dealers who snap them up whilst still in the virtual womb. Bravo!

Its a very valuable domain. You could probably sell it for at least a few hundred grand+

 

With a working, operating site that has content and engages visitors, adds value to the web and maybe even has good social profiles (no fake followers etc and engagement) that could possibly add double the value to the already valuable domain.

 

You have some good options and I would consider visiting a dedicated domain name forum to see what primary people into domains suggest too.

 

I like what you have on it now, but just putting some adsense on wont make you buckets of cash.

 

Also in terms of search volume, there are 300k searches in Google UK a month for the term "time". Based on the amount of traffic you are getting, you are getting minimum and that could be improved massively- quite easily with a developed site. Plus, thats not factoring other country search traffic like the US etc.

 

All the best and please keep us updated!
