WhyPark makes it even easier (and cheaper!) to breathe life into your domains

If you're already using WhyPark, we don't have to tell you how our development platform makes it quick and easy to customize your sites to be more effective.

But maybe you feel you don’t have enough time to customize your sites the way you’d like too. We understand - you’re a busy person after all. That’s why WhyPark has combined our most popular services into one easy-to-use package.

Domain Name Stimulus Package
Only $89!

Just when you thought WhyPark couldn’t get any easier, we’ve developed a discounted package that has all your favorites.

The Domain Name Stimulus Package includes:

• Managed setup of your domain in your WhyPark account. We'll choose the title, description, keywords, and template so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Direct Monetization of Expired Pages

Sometimes domains that had previously been in use may still contain active links pointing to web pages that no longer exist. These expired pages are goldmines. They provide an untapped opportunity for monetization because they can still get traffic. In the past, this traffic has been redirected to your domain's homepage. However, we have seen higher than average bounce rates on that redirected traffic since the focus of the domain may have changed since the previous site was live.

Now with WhyPark, your expired pages are directly monetized. Rather than redirecting them to the home page, your expired pages will still get valuable traffic on monetized landing pages. Revenue is accounted for in your standard revenue reports.

In the near future, we may make this an option set by you to redirect certain sites to your homepage or monetize directly. As always, we welcome your feedback.

WhyPark Unveils Improved Domain Monetization Methods

Given the near universal concern with the economic crisis, we here at WhyPark take the business of your domains very seriously. That's why we're very excited to announce changes to our monetization model.

New Improved Feeds
Say hello to our new feeds! Here's how they work:

• If you use the WhyPark ad feed, in many cases you'll no longer see direct ads displayed on the pages, depending on the domain and location of the visitor. When using our ad network, the search box will be integrated on each page of your layout, giving visitors quick access to sponsored listings. Note: You may wish to remove any other search boxes from your pages to avoid any confusion.
  
• Your pages will feature a search box and related search links, which will display a page of sponsored links when clicked. These links are monetized on a CPC basis and, as improved feeds, provide you with the highest paying revenue.
  
• Sites using the ad network will display related terms for a quick search at the top and bottom of each article. These contextually relevant terms will drive a user from reading an article to seeing useful and relevant ads.
  
• In the coming weeks, we'll be offering new options for additional monetization even if you don't use our integrated ad network.
  

We don't want you to miss out on these new feed partnerships. After all, they're innovative and easy ways to bring you additional revenue. In our testing, there was a significant decrease in a site's bounce rate with the new ad integration and an increase in the time spent on the site. With more visitors staying on, and coming back to your site, you'll have more opportunities to put money in your pocket. This seamless integration of related terms also combats ad blindness that traditional parking services and other third-party ads are facing.

If you are using third-party ads rather than our direct feed, we won't take it personally. However, we'd like to invite you to try them out and see if we can outperform your existing revenue. We'll even make it easier on you to make the switch -- just drop us an email at support@whypark.com and we'll easily switch all of your sites to use our ad network.

Now, even more than ever, we want to make sure your domains are working for you. With these new monetization opportunities, we think you'll be very happy with the result.
