Can You Make Money with AdSense for Domains?

Google AdSense for Domains lets domain name owners set up AdSense links on a parked domain which if it receives traffic, will serve relevant ads to the domain name (or popular categories).

I have not tried AdSense for Domains myself, but after digging through some forum threads on the AdSense Outage the other day, I ran into a simple thread posted on Digital Point about AdSense for Domains calledAnyone made any money using AdSense for Domains?.

In the thread, a publisher asks about making money using AdSense for Domains and if anyone is having success. A few webmasters and domain name owners have replied :

With respect to AdSense for Domains, I haven’t made more than a few cents here and there. I’ve also only got a few domains set up on it, and they’re relatively new. I don’t really see a lot of people focusing on using this as a “real” source of income, only something to earn a bit until the domains can be developed.

I get about $20 a day from one domain. It started out at only penny’s a day but I employed on page and off page seo plus did a bit of testing with ad placement and colors and with in 3 months $20 a day and growing. Plus my site has gone from no indexed pages to # 8 slot on the first page of google for my key words I am now working on 2 new domains trying to get them up and generating revenue.

I find the second reply interesting, SEOing the domain parked site to actually bring in targeted search users who will more than likely click on the AdSense ads. Sure, $20 a day may not sound like much, but that’s an extra $7,000 a year just from domain parking. Not bad.

Extending AdSense for domains to all publishers

ALL THE MATERIAL IS TAKEN FROM

Many publishers have approached us looking for a way to monetize their domains, and today, we're excited to announce the expansion of AdSense for domains. This product allows publishers to earn revenue through ads placed on undeveloped domains.

With AdSense for domains, users can find relevant information rather than see empty pages or "page not found" errors. Today we present ads, links, and search results on the pages, and may add other useful information in the future. To ensure positive user experience and the quality of our network, these sites are monitored for policy compliance and prohibited from using text and images designed to confuse users.

Advertisers also have additional opportunities to find their customers, and ads on these pagesconvert well. In addition, we regularly receive requests from advertisers who have found domains to be an effective way to reach their users.

The product will be initially rolled out in phases to English-language AdSense publishers located in North America, and we'll expand to additional regions and languages in the future. To check whether AdSense for domains has been enabled for your account, log in and visit your AdSense Setup tab. For more information, please visit our Help Center.
