Long time reader will know the domain experiment I set up a few months ago. The basic summary thus far has been: people are showing up to the domains but the templates I have been parking the domains at suck.

So I have a new template and have pasted it with affiliate links. Here is the site for La Feria, a small city in Texas. We’ll see how I go. I know that I can get 15-20c CPCs, and the sites at the moment are getting $0.06 for whatever reason.

Here’s an update on the stats in Nov (part of the month they were with another provider), Dec and Jan:

Not sure if it was because the domains were removed from Google’s index because they were with Sedo or not (parking services don’t tell you if the source of your traffic is direct type in or from search engines).

Either way, now we have Google Analytics tracking everything on a domain by domain level (very easy to do, thought it would be a nightmare with hundreds of domains).

Another secondary goal is to get the domains indexed and ranking as they integrate Homethinking data and the better the domains do, the more meaningful the links back to Homethinking are.
