Learning how to make money from a Domain name can be hard work and a lot of reading. So I am going to keep this short and sweet. I'm a get to the point kind of guy.

About 18 months ago I thought I was oh so clever. Perched in front of my computer staring at the Domain registrar typing in Domain names that I thought were going to be worth big bucks. I had a credit card in my hand and a thesaurus in the other. I was going to be rich.

But after I purchased all of these great Domains I really did not know what to do next. I was starting to get stressed as I checked my traffic statistics what seemed like every minute until I just gave up. I was getting very little traffic. So now what?

After many, many days, yes days not hours spent surfing on the Web I came across an article that explained why traditional cash parking just does not work.

The article made sense and as I researched more it all became clear. To get traffic coming into your Web site you need to have relevant content. Search Engines love content, they need it. Traditionally cash parking programs only serve up a few links and that is it, very little search value if any.

To become successful on the web as a serious Domainer, marketer or retailer you'll need to build some content pages. This is easier and less expensive than it sounds. One great way is to create a Blog and post content to it. Blogs are easy to implement and manage. There are also several free, open source Blogging platforms to choose from, such as WordPress, TypePad and Blogger amongst others.

Once I started hosting Blogs on my Domains instead of parked pages, traffic increased and so did my revenue. My lesson learned was that content is King. Start creating content and you'll start creating revenue.
