Market Leverage Rocks! Check out my great grab bag of goodies (NOT!)
If you haven’t heard of Market Leverage yet then you really must have some great ad blinders on. Not only that but you must be great at avoiding pretty much every marketer blog on the net as they have been super busy buying up ads on blogs and sending out tons of freebies to the bigger blogs. There are even numerous pictures of their entire office pimping out big blogger shirts!
So you have probably seen at least a few “brag” post about the cool gift packs all the various bloggers have been getting or the various contest sponsored by Market Leverage for similar grab bags.
It’s great promotion and obviously getting some attention since you can’t visit a “make money online” blog without seeing some mention of Market Leverage these days. And to be honest, every time I have seen a rep post or comment on one of the blogs, they do actually seem to be pretty helpful and not just a bunch of spamming kiss asses.
It is obvious, though, that some of the “bigger” blogs that have been sent freebies don’t even use Market Leverage. Yeah, doesn’t really matter as far as getting exposure but kind of sucks they will send out freebie promo items to bloggers that don’t, and probably won’t, end up even promoting any of their offers.
So since everyone else is doing it, here is my brag post of all the cool promo items that came in the mail today…check out my grab bag of Market Leverage goodies:
Yep, that is just an empty box…since I haven’t gotten anything :(. And yes, I am just jealous and being silly but even the smaller guys like to get some attention sometimes ;).
I’ve been a publisher with Market Leverage for about a month now and they actually do have some decent payouts compared to the few other networks I use. I’ve only been testing a couple offers to see how conversions compare but so far pretty happy. Well besides the fact I’m feeling kind of left out as far as all the cool goodies they are giving everyone BUT me :(. Yeah, I know, giving me a cool bag with all the great toys and having me brag about it on my blog won’t bring them very much attention or many new affiliates but doesn’t mean I don’t want to feel special too. I want one of new Flip video cameras damnit!
Regardless of my silly whining, I do think Market Leverage is a great option for marketers looking for another source for offers. From my limited testing so far, on the offers I usually use, they have better payouts and so far conversions look good. I’ll post an update after working a few more of the offers and sending some real traffic to them. I also plan to do some “split testing” between a few of the networks to see how much better they may be.
Now I just need to find a network that will send me a Flip Cam regardless of my small time blog 
… Hint, Hint!

Why park at WhyPark? Because your domains deserve better homes
My WhyPark Review…best domain parking service?
If you have domains you are not actively using for sites or developing, odds are you are parking them at one of the many parking services. If not then you could be leaving money on the table. Domain parking can be a good earner for some people, depending one the quality of the domains, if they are good “type in” domains or already have traffic or just have a ton of domains and just don’t have time to develop them all yet, which is my problem. In some cases, with domains that aren’t prone to type in traffic or don’t have current traffic, you might not make a ton but even for the most offbeat domains, you can usually earn some and hopefully enough to at least cover the renewal fee every year. Make those domains earn their keep.
A problem with most regular parking services is they don’t allow you to promote, link to or build traffic in any other way. Most are cracking down and the only type of traffic they allow is type in traffic and search engine traffic, which isn’t all that likely considering most parking pages aren’t all that well indexed by the search engines. Sometimes your domains can gain a little search traffic and even PR but for the most part parking a domain doesn’t help “develop” that domain much at all.
When it comes to revenue from parking, most of the parking services take a nice hefty cut right off the top so whatever clicks you do get you have to share a large percentage of the earnings. On top of that, most services don’t offer much in the way of optimizing ads and most don’t offer very many options for different monetization methods. You are usually limited to being able to edit the templates, to a degree, and able to optimize for keywords but not a whole lot more.
So what is WhyPark and why is it different? Well really, WhyPark is closer to a host than a parking service. First off, they charge you an upfront fee of $100 which gives you 100 “credits” meaning you can park up to 100 domains. You can buy more credits for more domains as well. While this may seem like a huge turnoff to most, and is a bit expensive, you need to consider what it actually involves before writing it off. What it really becomes is a hosting service for your domains and in the end you pay just $1 per domain, forever. So if your parked page/site ends up being thousands of pages long and gets a ton of traffic you never have to pay for more space or bandwidth. $1 for that, for life, is actually and awesome deal if you can get over the $100 minimum package order.
Ok, but why more like a host? Well even though WhyPark provides many of the same tools you will find at traditional parking services to customize and optimize your page they go quite a bit further and allow you to even use your own CSS and such to build your “templates” if you choose. The ones included are pretty decent and optimized well but if you like a lot of control you have that option.
Another cool feature is the “auto article population system”. When you are setting up a domain you can add in a list of targeted keywords and what that will do is add a bunch of pre-written articles to your “site” which will also auto rotates giving you constant new targeted content automatically. This is great for search engine indexing and ranking. You can also add in your own custom/unique articles which will help even more. What this means is rather than just another obvious parking page your page looks more like a real site with real content that is targeted to your domain and the traffic. Not only should this help with keeping visitors there and clicking ads but it could be HUGE if/when you get picked up and indexed by the search engines. Odds of getting and staying indexed on traditional parking services are very low but with WhyPark you can get your site indexed and ranked well and get free targeted traffic from the search engines.
Another great feature is you can add your own ads and use what you want. Most traditional parking just use feeds from Yahoo or google and you don’t have many options. With WhyPark you can use any ad network or type of ad you can fit on the pages and include affiliate products and all that good stuff. You are also able to add in your own tracking software so you can keep an eye on sales/leads and hits. And the best part…YOU KEEP 100% of the revenue earned. Rather than giving away a huge cut of your click revenue to a traditional parking service you keep anything your site earns. Sure, you have to pay $1 to add that domain to WhyPark but it wouldn’t take too long to recover that cost and then after that it is basically free forever!
What I like just as much as the 100% revenue is that I am actually allowed to promote my domain/site. I can do all the normal site promotion and link building and work on getting better search rankings to get even more with free traffic. I can even run PPC campaigns and send traffic. And somewhat related to getting your “parked” page ranked in search engines, your domain also has a much higher chance of earning PR. Even if you end up developing a domain you had parked at WhyPark, what better way to start off with than an established domain with traffic and PR? Or if you just have a bunch of domains you plan to resell eventually, you can bet that you will get higher offers if the domains have traffic and PR!
So, if you have some domains that you have just sitting around, or parked somewhere already, and just don’t have time to develop “real” sites you might like all the benefits of using something like WhyPark.
Here are a handful of random domains I set up last night (only took about 30 minutes total). They are all pretty much the same as I am still testing the templates to see what I like, and performs, best. But it will give you and idea of the basic layout. AND of course I am linking to help my indexing lol…something you are usually not allowed to do with traditional parking services.
