WhyParker's are Site Builders, Not Domain Parkers

A few days ago we highlighted a customer's domain Go Telepresence as one example of how you could use WhyPark to quickly build sites. Since then he has made a few tweaks and put the site on a Name Pros Wed Site Design Review thread. The feedback consensus is "this isn't a parked domain."


WhyPark is not domain parking company, it's a content provider, web host and SEO service that gives you the tools to quickly build attractive and engaging sites for visitors. It's a way for you to monetize sites that get little type in navigation traffic while you wait to either sell the domain or develop a more robust site.

Yes, the parking companies are free and WhyPark costs a one time fee of $100 for 100 sites. Before you sign-up do your homework, but I feel you will not find a better service to build a site and monetize your domains.



This is a really great looking site. I've come across many other nice creative WhyPark sites and I'll share them with you after I get the photoshop work done!

I'll finish with a quote from a recent unpaid KillerStartups.com review of WhyPark:

WhyPark Hacks: Customize Sites with Google Gadgets

Google Gadgets are an easy way to customize WhyPark sites. With over 46,000 gadgets to choose from there is a gadget for every site. The screen shots in this post are links to the corresponding site, so click away to see the gadgets in your own browser.

The Google Gadget home page is where you can search for a gadget appropriate to your site. Just enter a search term like bible, stock quote, forex quote or RSS feed and customize the gadget for your site.




I like what a WhyPark customer did with the site Go Telepresence. He added an RSS news feed gadget in the upper left corner of the site which displays continuous live news on Telepresence conferencing. He's done other modifications to enhance the site, like adding an "advertise here banner" which takes a visitor to a site that lists all his telepresence domains, ad pricing and a tool to create a banner ad. He's also added a banner ad for his Telepresence Forum site. When you look at this site, it's pretty amazing to think for $1 per domain he's able to build a site that is engaging to a visitor, useful for advertisers and promotes his forum.




The idea to use Google Gadgets to customize WhyPark sites wasn't mine. It came from Wayne who notified me of his RSS feed gadget on his telepresence site. I took three sites to show how gadgets can be used on almost any domain.


BibleBees.com, a gadget with a Bible verse that changes daily






StudyStocks.com, an interactive real time stock quote gadget





BookForex.com, a gadget that displays major foreign currency quotes



By editing the HTML layout section of any domain you can easily paste the java script gadget code. I simply replaced the [[image]] place holder with the gadget code. You could have just as easily put the gadget above the site articles or in the side bar next to the related articles. Over 46,000 gadgets and access to each sites HTML code, you only limited by your imagination and HTML skills. And, my HTML skills are below basic!
