DOMAIN PARKING OVERVIEW
What is domain parking?
If you have domain names that are currently not being used, domain parking is a way to put up a "holder" page letting customers know that your site is under construction or available for sale.
Why is WhyPark.com a better choice than traditional domain parking services?
Traditional domain parking services are just pages of links to other sites, or even just an under construction page. While those types of services offer no value to search engines or visitors, WhyPark.com does provide value. Rather than a page of links, a domain parked at WhyPark.com includes pages of real content, directly related to the keywords you choose. We even update your site with fresh content on a constant basis. Rather than sending your visitors off to another site, keep them on your WhyPark.com site and keep them coming back again and again.
What do I get with my WhyPark.com account?
When you setup a WhyPark.com account, you can host up to 100 of your domain names, each with the following:
- You choose the keywords for each of your web sites
- Ability to apply for our integrated ad network (Learn More)
- You keep 100% of the revenue generated from your sites if you're using third-party ads, or 60% or more with our integrated ads
- Easily manage text link ads and optionally use advertising programs like Google AdSense, Yahoo! Publisher Network, AdBrite, and many more.
- Content rich web sites; no more domain parking pages with just links
- Search Engine Optimization
- Free web hosting
- Your site is updated automatically with fresh content
Can I transfer my web site to another WhyPark.com account?
Yes. We have an easy transfer process, so you can transfer an existing domain from one WhyPark.com account to another. If the person you are transferring to does not yet have a WhyPark.com account, they will need to purchase an account in order to accept the transfer. You can even earn a commission when they signup for their account!
Is there a sample site I can view?
Yes. We've setup several sample sites you can view here:
www.AcceleratedPayments.net,
www.shufflemate.com,
www.aaog.org,
www.tax-exempt.us

Do I need to worry about duplicate content?
Every web site on WhyPark.com is unique based on the keywords you choose. We also rotate clips to other pages on your web site in the related articles section to provide a unique blend of content across your domain. We recommend using niche keywords to create a tighly focused, themed website. You can also add custom pages, unique articles and customize the layout for your domains to make your site unique.
Do I get statistics on my web site traffic?
Yes. You can copy stats code from free services like Google Analytics or StatCounter to get in-depth statistics on your domains. If using our integrated ad network, you will be able to view your revenue stats.
Can I use the Google Sitemaps program with my site?
Yes. All sites automatically have a Google sitemap created, ready to be submitted. Simply submit your sitemap URL as http://www.[yourdomain.ext]/google-sitemap.cfm. Our XML sitemaps use the Sitemaps Protocol and can be submitted to Yahoo, Live, Ask and other search engines.
DOMAIN PARKING REVENUE
How much money can I make per site?
Just like any business or web site, the amount of money you can expect to make depends on how much time you put into promoting it. We offer you free advice on getting more traffic to your web site cheaply and effectively, but ultimately the amount of revenue you make from your sites is based on your efforts and domain names.
How can I make money from my sites parked at WhyPark.com?
We have built in the following revenue streams for web sites parked with WhyPark.com:
- Advertising - Copy and paste your code from Google AdSense, Yahoo Publisher Network, AdBrite, BurstNet, FastClick, or any other advertising network and earn money from the advertising revenue. Please check the terms and conditions of your chosen ad network to ensure compliance.
- NEW - Integrated Ad Network - We have partnered with a number of ad networks to deliver targeted ads directly into WhyPark sites (Learn More).
- Text Links - We've built in an easy to use text link manager. Sell your own text links to other web sites, or use the text links for promoting affiliate sites and products
- WhyPark.com Affiliate Program - We have an affiliate program managed by Clickbank. Setup a free Clickbank account and anytime someone clicks on the "powered by WhyPark.com" link from your web site and sets up an account, you earn a commission.
How does WhyPark.com make any money?
We charge a one-time fee of $99.95 for every 100 sites you host on WhyPark.com. Additionally, if you have opted into our integrated ad network, we retain a minority share of the revenue earned through advertising. A variety of optional, managed services are currently in development.
Does WhyPark.com have an affiliate program?
Yes. We have a very lucrative affiliate program managed by Clickbank. Promote WhyPark.com through your WhyPark.com web sites automatically, and/or use pay-per-click, newsletters, paid advertising and any other legal forms of advertising to earn a commission of over $45 for every new WhyPark.com that you refer. There's more information on our affiliates section.
Tell me about WhyPark integrated ads
WhyPark has partnered with numerous pay-per-click ad networks to deliver relevant ads directly into your WhyPark sites. You are then paid directly by WhyPark for the revenue earned through the ads on your sites. We pay a revenue share of 60% of the revenue earned through your sites on the integrated ads. Customers with high traffic sites may be entitled to a larger revenue share to be determined on a per-customer basis. With our integrated ad network, you do not need to manage third-party ad code and there's nothing to "install" or update. Ads are tightly integrated into each site and are tested to ensure the best placement and ads based on your domain name. Traditional "ad blindness" is not an issue, since the look of the ads match your site's design closely. We use ClickForensics and geo-targeting to maintain an ad network with low click fraud and high integrity.
Do you allow arbitrage or paid traffic to domains using the WhyPark ad network?
No, we do not allow PPC arbitrage due to policies of the networks we work with. All traffic to your sites should be from links from other sites, directories, blogs, organic search, and type-in/direct navigation. If you have any questions, please read our Terms of Use or contact us.
Can we combine the WhyPark network ads with other ads on the same site?
While we don't absolutely forbid that you not use other networks on the same site where WhyPark ads are being run, you're going to find a much better click-through rate by keeping the number of ads on a page to a minimum. You should also view the terms and conditions of the other ad network(s) as well. By default, WhyPark ads will replace the top and bottom ads on your site. If we're unable to deliver relevant ads to a page due to geographic region, your ad code will be displayed instead.
Can I still use a third-party's ad code on my sites when the WhyPark integrated ads are used?
Yes. You can add any other advertising code directly into your layout, or by using the Text Link Manager. The text link manager allows you to add and schedule text ads to be displayed on your sites. Additionally, you can choose to use third-party ad code on any of your sites instead of our integrated ads.
What is the average revenue per click through the WhyPark ad network?
The revenue earned on each click varies greatly depending on the subject of your domain and the quality of the click. Our click fraud partner helps us ensure the quality of traffic delivered to our ad network partners and advertisers is of the highest quality. Maintaining a high quality network will ultimately return greater revenue to WhyPark customers. We continue to optimize ads being displayed across multiple ad partners and will improve the revenue earned and ads served based on ongoing data being collected. WhyPark revenue is very competitive to those of other domain parking and ad networks. While click-through rates are typically lower on content sites, compared to landing pages, you will be able to increase your revenue with increased traffic, repeat visits and higher visitor retention.
Can I choose to display WhyPark network ads or third-party ads on a per-site basis?
Yes. When adding or editing a domain in WhyPark, you can choose to use our integrated ads, or third-party ad code, like Google AdSense, Yahoo Publisher Network, Commission Junction, etc. You must first apply and accept our terms of use prior to enabling the ad network in your account.
What are your payment terms?
We pay within 30 days after the end of the month the revenue was earned in, providing the outstanding balance is greater than $25. For example, revenue earned in March will be paid in April.
How do I get paid?
Payments are currently made by PayPal, but we will be offering direct deposit in the coming months.
DOMAIN PARKING COSTS
How much does a WhyPark.com account cost?
There is a one-time fee of $99.95, which allows you to host up to 100 domain names at WhyPark.com. You can always add additional domain credits to your account for $99.95 for each block of 100 domain names.
How many domains can I host on a single WhyPark.com account?
You can host an unlimited number of domains through a single account. Each block of 100 domain names is a one-time fee of $99.95. Additional blocks can be added at any time.
Are there any monthly fees?
No. We earn revenue from new accounts constantly being setup. Each web site includes a small text link on the top right of your page and a "powered by WhyPark.com" on the bottom of the page. This allows us to host your web site for free. If anyone follows one of these links from your web site and purchases a WhyPark.com, you earn a commission through our affiliate program.
Is my order processed securely?
You pay for your WhyPark.com through Clickbank who sells our products - they are a trusted online retailer specializing in digitally delivered products. We accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Eurocard, Bravo, Diners Club, Carte Blanche, and JCB.
Do I need to start with all 100 domains or can I add domains at anytime?
Your account is setup to allow up to 100 domains at any one time from your one-time $99 purchase. If you only have a few domains, you can start by adding those. When you acquire new domains or want to move domains from other domain parking services, you can add those at any time. You can use our domain manager to add, edit and remove domains 24/7.
