An Introduction to ClickMillions™
Chapter 5
Park it The good news is the ClickMillions program doesn’t require you to learn how to build a website for your domain. In fact, the secret to making easy money with domain names is not developing website yourself; it’s working with parking companies. Making money from parking companies is about the only business I know where once you set it up you don’t have to do any more work. There’s nothing better than waking up in the morning, pulling up your parking statistics and seeing how much money you made while you were asleep! What a great way to make a living!
Parking companies Parking companies were created to enable domain owners like yourself to point their domain names to a specially designed website, linking you to the search engine providers (the “Billion Dollar Money Machine”), and automatically make money from visitor clicks without any work on your part. Unlike many other competitor programs, you don’t have to promote your parking website to get people to visit it. You don’t need a Twitter or Facebook account, you don’t need to buy keywords at Google or beg your friends and family to come visit your website. In fact, as you’ll learn in the ClickMillions program, promotion of parking sites “isn’t even allowed”! Since traffic will automatically come to the parking sites (because you qualified, bid and won the expired domain name at auction), and since the parking company creates the website for you, all you have to do is understand how to bring everything together.

The parking process In order to understand how to tap into parking companies, let’s review the parking process:
Figure 0-1
There are five steps to parking your domains: 1. Get accepted. Parking companies don’t always accept everyone that wants to
point their domain names. There is a set of rules that are dictated by the terms and conditions established by the sponsored feed providers (such as Google, Bing or Yahoo). Also there are some tax forms to fill out. The good news is the ClickMillions program automatically helps you with the acceptance process.
2. Point your domains. Once you sign up with and get accepted by a parking
company, you will need to link your domain name to it. There is a special process for doing this, and it’s handled at the registrar level. Of course, the ClickMillions program gives you complete instructions on this process.
3. Add domains. Once the connection is established you will be adding the
domain(s) to the parking site itself. This will complete the connection between the domain name and the parking company.
4. Set up keywords. The parking company will examine your domain name and
establish keywords that the feed providers will use to ascertain which ads to
-‐ Part 3 of 4: Page 6 – Copyright 2010-‐2011 -‐ Millions Forever LLC – All Rights Reserved -‐
send. Sometimes the keywords are not a good match and you’ll need to adjust them. You’ll learn all about this process in the ClickMillions program.
5. Make money. Now for the fun part! Once the parking site is established, money
will start accruing to your domain name every time a visitor clicks on any one of the links at the parking company’s site. Depending on the agreement with the parking company, you’ll get paid anywhere from 15 days after the end of the month to as quickly as twice a month. The money will either be transferred to your PayPal account, sent as a check, wired to your bank account, or forwarded by one of several other methods.
We will cover all of these steps in complete detail in the ClickMillions program.
Parking company differences Not all parking companies are created alike. Some charge you a fee; others offer the service free. Some have better web templates than others. Some are easy to manage and some aren’t. And most importantly, the ads that are “served up” on your parking page will either come from Google or from Bing/Yahoo (both use the same feed). Why is that important? It’s important because a parking company can be associated with one parking feed or the other, but not both. So this brings us to the next ClickMillions secret:
ClickMillions Secret “Sign up with at least two parking companies;
one that serves Google ads and one that has Bing/Yahoo ads.” As you learned previously, a business owner bids on keywords and decidesthe amount he/she is willing to pay if a visitor searches on that keyword or goes to a related website associated with the keyword. Keywords have different values based on the search engine provider. That means Google may pay more for a particular keyword, while Bing/Yahoo may pay less. The reverse can hold true as well. The keyword values are not static,; while one pays more than the other this week, the reverse may be true next week. It will be important to test your domain name on both parking feeds to determine which pays you more.

The ClickMillions program will recommend parking providers for a Google feed and a Bing/Yahoo feed. ., We will educate you regarding the differences between the two parking feeds and show you how to easily switch between the two.
Parking revenues So now we get to the big question you’ve been waiting for:
How much money can you make with parking domains?
There are a number of factors to consider before answering that question. Generally speaking, your profit will depend on how much you paid for the domain, the type of expired domain you purchased, the keyword value, the volume, type and relevance of traffic, whether the sponsored ads come from Google or Bing/Yahoo, and the parking company itself. You can expect to make anywhere from a few cents a click to several dollars! In fact, the president of one of the parking companies told me recently that someone made $123.19 on a single click! Realistically, however, you can expect to make anywhere from 5 cents to $1 a click on most keywords. Let’s take some actual examples of domains that I currently own to put all of this into perspective. Here’s a list of some actual parked domains using ClickMillions techniques:
Figure 0-2
-‐ Part 3 of 4: Page 8 – Copyright 2010-‐2011 -‐ Millions Forever LLC – All Rights Reserved -‐
Let me explain what you are seeing in the above chart. All of these domains were purchased for under $100; some as low as $10. You see the date they were purchased and for how much they were purchased at auction. As of the date that these statistics were pulled, you can see the accumulated revenue and the Return on Investment (ROI) so far – and these domain names continue to add more revenue and greater returns every day. For example, I paid $76 for meritmoney.com, and to date it has paid me $1,373.12, a 1,807% return on my original investment! In fact, it’s still paying me money! Of course, this is just a sample, and your results will vary. You may make substantially less, you may make substantially more. No program can guarantee results. It all depends on how well you master the tools and programs offered in with ClickMillions and your ability to apply what you know effectively.
2% versus 1,000% Return Which would you rather have – a 2% or 3% annual return in a CD account, in a mutual fund (not a good choice due to the current poor economy) or a 1,000% return from managing domains? Although your results will vary, you can see the power of ClickMillions! Do these numbers still look too small to you? Consider this: What if you decided to invest ten times the amount that I’m showing you? Now, you’re looking at tens of thousands of dollars annually in ongoing revenue – for doing absolutely nothing! Still not convinced? I have several domains that are paying me over $5,000 a year each and I don’t do anything to get it! Sure, I paid more for these domains and did more thorough research, but the returns are unbelievable, and they will keep paying, day after day, year after year. Just remember, you can start with under $20 and once you get the feel of it, grow it exponentially. The sky’s the limit! In fact, I’ve personally been able to achieve parking revenues of over $500K a year, but there are two public figures that have claimed annual revenues of $20-‐50 million annually! Your results will definitely vary, but you can see the potential of parking revenues. Just remember this ClickMillions secret:
ClickMillions Secret “Even small profits can become substantial revenue when you own many domains.”
-‐ Part 3 of 4: Page 9 – Copyright 2010-‐2011 -‐ Millions Forever LLC – All Rights Reserved -‐
If you have a domain name that makes $50 a year in revenue (about $4 a month), and you paid $10 for it, then you will make over 400% annual return on your investment. Repeat this 100 times and you’re making $5,000 a year. Do that 10 times, and now you’re making $50,000 a year!
Research, research, research Again, I cannot stress the most important key to making money that I am stating it one more time as a ClickMillions secret:
ClickMillions Secret “The key to success with making ClickMillions is through proper research.”
If you simply buy any domain name you can get your hands on and park it, you’ll lose your shirt. I know this is true because I started out in this business buying anything and everything! Over time, however, I discovered and mastered the qualification process to which you now will have access through the Millions ReportCard and Millions Dashboard. If you do the proper research and carefully follow all of the rules explained in the ClickMillions program, your success rate will increase exponentially as well.
Next steps… Properly parking your money-‐making expired domains is the key to success in the ClickMillions program. In the next chapter we’ll cover what happens when a visitor clicks on a parking page link.

An Introduction to ClickMillions™
Chapter 5
Click it OK, we’re almost home! You “found it, bid it, parked it”, and it’s time for the final step: “Click it!”. Actually, we don’t want you to click any links on parking domains. In fact, if you started to click on the links yourself, the parking company would find out about it and ban your domain, or much worse, ban your entire account. So what do we mean by “click it”? The answer is found in your next ClickMillions secret:
ClickMillions Secret “Visitors don’t make you money – clicks do.”
When a visitor is “driven to your site” because you found the right domain name and have properly parked it, then half of the battle is over. The other half of the battle is getting the visitor to click on a link. If you get a thousand visitors to your parking page but no one clicks on anything, you make nothing. Making money occurs when a visitor clicks on a link, not when they visit the page. So how many visitors actually click on a parked page link? The answer is revealed in your next ClickMillions secret:
ClickMillions Secret “In most cases, there is a 5 to 1 click ratio of visitors to clicks.”
A “click ratio” is the percentage of visitors that actually click on a link on your parking page. A “5 to 1” click ratio means about 20% of all visitors will end up clicking on a link. This number can vary widely by the type of traffic, source, keyword, parking template, and a variety of other criteria, but that’s the general statistic.

There is a science to making sure your parked page is designed a certain way to increase the chance that a visitor will click in a link so you can get paid. The good news is you’ll learn how to maximize your click ratios in the ClickMillions program.
Affiliate programs You may have heard about affiliate programs. Most of our competitors make their money by selling subscribers on affiliate marketing. In fact many late-‐night infomercials are disguised as affiliate programs. What is an affiliate program and why is it important for you to know? It’s important to know because both affiliate programs and the ClickMillions program focus on domain names and websites, but there is a big difference between the two.. Affiliate marketing is the business of making money by establishing relationships with individual companies that offer a fixed fee or percentage if you can bring a visitor to their site and “perform an action”, such as signing up for a program or buying something. Affiliate marketing is big business. There are billions made every year in this lucrative market. The major problem with affiliate marketing programs is that they are much less likely to earn income for domain owners compared to the money earned through clicking. Whereas 20 out of 100 visitors are likely to click on a parked page, less than 1 out of a 100 will satisfy affiliate requirements. So even though visitors who fulfill all the affiliate requirements typically earn domain owners more revenue than that earned via parking, it’s up to 20 times harder to successfully earn those revenues when compared to parking. There are many other challenges associated with marketing affiliate programs. In order to succeed in affiliate marketing, you need to establish business relationships with several individual affiliate vendors. You must be an expert web designer or pay for one. You need SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expertise or pay for it. You need to know how to design the “virtual real estate” of your website to integrate affiliate ads or pay for that expertise. You need to intelligently insert unique content or pay for a content expert. You need to pay for web hosting. You need to figure multiple methods to drive visitors to your site or pay for an expert to help you do this. And finally, after having done all this work, the percentage of visitors who actually generate revenue for you in affiliate marketing is 1/20th of the number of visitors that will earn you money by clicking on parked pages.
-‐ Part 3 of 4: Page 12 – Copyright 2010-‐2011 -‐ Millions Forever LLC – All Rights Reserved -‐
Competitors have attempted to solve some of these issues by directly making all of the pre-‐arrangements with affiliates and giving away free website templates that are filled with affiliate ads. Our competitors then make a lot of money because they take a large cut of the affiliate marketing revenue for your sites. In addition, they sell you advanced websites, SEO marketing and many other upsell services (because you’ll quickly discover that the “free” web templates are worthless -‐ it’s almost impossible for anyone to visit these sites on their own without the domain owner investing in appropriate marketing and expert web design). The reason I mention affiliate programs is because the ClickMillions program should not be confused with the competition. Remember that in an affiliate marketing program, visitors must not only visit a site and click on a link, but they must also perform a series of actions , or the domain owner receives no payment. The success ratio with affiliate marketing for beginners is very low, and costs are high. Why go through all of that trouble when ClickMillions solves the problem of getting visitors to your site, parking companies build the site for you, and all a visitor has to do is “click”? Seems like a “no-‐brainer” to me!
