High Converting Japanese Traffic

"We Buy Gold" shops are basically everywhere in Japan, from street corners to vendors inside malls and grocery stores. The traffic you are receiving from Japan doesn't surprise me.

...even though all these shops buy gold for pennies on the dollar. (Okinawa, Japan)

Hello again

Yeah, I'm just hoping the links stay for a while because I like the revenue they are generating. Its nice when a 99 cent promo code gets you an expired domain that gets 5 to 10 clicks a day.

Due diligence of scanning lists will result in dropped domains that can pay for themselves within days to months.

Yep. I'm still a noob but I'm picking up on some of the research techniques. I just wish the daily drops took place in the evening when I'm off work so I could get snatch more of the good ones up. lol

may i ask you what the CPC is and how much revenue it generates per day?

Here is a screenshot for the last 30.
The next 30 days should get better because I was testing the different parking companies for most of this period. Parking Crew was the best for this domain so its staying there for the near future.
I know its not big revenue for others but for me its nice because it more than pays renewal.

thanks not too bad..

not sure if it is a good idea to develop but you don't have to speak japanese to do that. you can outsource the work to some freelance translation sites.

see gengo.com

their advertised rates are something like $12 for 250 words. so you may get a 4 page mini-site translation for $50.

Japanese is more usually expensive than other languages though.

not sure if that would work but if you don't know how to program but know some basic html/javascript and have a domain registrar with a simple api access you can create a page with a timed metarefresh/javascript that redirects to an iframe that refreshes once a second. you leave your laptop/pc on and let the browser do the work.

i caught a few (crappy) domains with that but i didn't have a delay built in and would just launch the html doc when the drop started. i knew only basic html back then and copied some javascript code from other websites.

@dordomai,

Thanks for the info! I'll check out gengo.com.

That's a pretty good revenue.

@thekiller,

Thanks! I just wish i had a couple thousand domains making revenue like that.lol
Someday maybe!

It's my belief that if a domain brings good revenue from parking (like yours does) there is no point of developing it except if we're very sure that it can bring more money.

Parked domains that should be developed imo are the ones that have traffic but they don't get many clicks (maybe wrong ads showing, etc.). By development you get to choose your strategy on how to monetize it without relying on any automated parking algorithm.

btw. grats for the gem you found.

@Hypersot,

Thanks for the advice.I think I will do like you suggest and just leave it parked for now and hope the backlinks stay in place.
I do have other domains that get a lot of traffic but no clicks so maybe I'll think about developing those.
