For many domainers parking revenue simply doesn’t reward a growing portfolio the way it used to, which is why more and more are turning to development to create indexed, searchable, engine friendly websites that make money across the board, which is where minisites for domainers and minisites.me.uk by Squillions comes in to play.

Millions of domains are held by traffic prospecting domainers, most park them up not knowing whether they have page rank, existing traffic, previous site history or backlinks and most of those that do, hope for the best – a lot of domainers base their business model on resale only and there’s nothing wrong with that but when the inquiries pause so can the income, some of us know that reality a little too well.

There is room for many differing domain business models however some domains enable different revenue streams and situations for each can change over their lifetime based on each aspect. It may now be time for one of those changes with your domain holding, or at least part of it. Let’s first consider and understand the different revenue models, all of which can be used throughout a portfolio to maximise potential.

• Resale only – Some may hold domains without nameservers, no time to convert and only interested in the end user sale which they’re willing to wait ten years for and on top generics, may well be worthwhile.
• Rental – If parked or with site, many enable domain rental as part of their plan now, clients will rent domains to operate from or simply for the value they see in page ranked names or those with backlinks.
• Parking And Resale – The majority choice and the mainstayer for many a portfolio over the last decade but due to engine algorithms and recession and a drop in adsense revenue, some are finding that parking doesn’t quite deliver what it used to and parking with an auction website fails to garner the interest that the parking site has promised.
• Minisite Development – A few years ago minisite development was all the rage and they are still trying it now, put a few pages up and you’ll convert your traffic better, it’s true they can but have you seen what some offer? Articles you can get for free from a repository anyway and / or you get charged £350 to receive a ‘good’ service, quite shocking.
• Full Website Development – the choice of the few and the daring, a domain portfolio owner may choose several in a year to start work on, get domains fully operational to target the niche or genre, develop full speed and win the market but not all have that top generic or the get up and go to take a market on. Quite simply put, a domainer hasn’t always got the tools, the time or the will to take care of all that they should.

The above is very brief, I could write several pages on each topic and go into the whys and wherefores. The fact is for many, only 5% of your portfolio may turn revenue for you at any one time – if you’re very lucky then it’s a lot more. So in what situation do you decide to change or adapt your current set up? A pretty lady? a few nice words? a promise of millions? or the truth?

Let’s look at what domain development can bring to a domain and why receiving websites at minisite prices can be the answer you’ve been wanting all these years;

• Minisites developed by us will start you off with five pages of unique content, we say start as no where have we suggested that you come to us and never do anything with your new sites again, quite the opposite; you should be active with your new minisites. We provide the stepping stones part polished, you need to continue the polishing to achieve.
• Our minisites come with wordpress (usually) content management systems, easy to operate but most importantly they enable three magnificent offerings that parking cannot bring; automated content updated daily or weekly which engines love, up to 50,000 product pages via datafeed meaning your domain is indexed and out there being visited; and thirdly a built in ‘appeal’ with associated surrounding content that ensures a site looks and feels more than what is, because it is. A user or search engine will see a feature packed, sticky website containing related content and it’s no deception, that’s exactly what you receive with videos, gallery and ‘click here’ widgets.
• With uniquely written subject matter and affiliated content you are not only increasing your domains inclusion in search engines, more pages, hundreds and maybe thousands but you’re also increasing your revenue streams; adsense on every page in hotspots, banner advertisements from networks and of course datafed content selling merchant products for a commission. If that isn’t enough, then you’re also turning your domain into a website that can offer paid backlinks or accept other advertising and all the while you’re increasing the amount of people who may buy or rent your domain. Keeping that ‘buy me now’ link in prime position.

Minisites for domainers have for too long been over priced, under nourished and we may well surprise you with our offering. We believe we have put together an absolutely fantastic deal, if our nearest competitor isn’t charging twice as much and more, the other half are giving you less than 10% of what we can build and those inbetween are reselling freely available articles and claiming duplicate content filters won’t find out.

You can compare our minisite offering here and if you think it’s website development for domains then you could be close to the truth. Contact us now with any questions or to start developing your domains today. Whether you plan on developing domain names and moving away from parking for the first time, furthering the development of inadequate minisites and maximising revenue potential or simply venturing into the affiliate market, we can help you find your way with our websites at minisite prices.
