Wow… I didn’t know that there was a company that would do 35 pages for $250.
I still will outsource my own, I can get them done for substantially less that $50 for logo, domain, hosting and content but if I was going to pay $250 that is who I would use.
Mine don’t look awesome but they do the job.
Nice breakdown. Thanks! If anyone has an example of a WannaDevelop site, I’d love to see it. From what I’ve read, Mike’s package is for 10 domains with a similar topic and he develops a minisite network.
Please add more useful columns ie. ROI in dfays or months- monthly reveneu pr quarter, CAGR traffic and revenue as a compared to ppc
Also like to see primary monetization method- payout minimums etcs
Also like to see risk factors (ie. is made for adsense site likely to be banned by Google) (also aspyware, popups etc)
How about resale of domain- who owns the IP- how does blacklisting by Google support or impede ability to sell domain
I personally use and endorse ParkingRevolution. A quick search on my site for the term will bring up my reviews and a video demo of the admin.
Nice list, thanks for sharing.
Thanks everyone for your comments.
@Owen: You raised some very interesting points. Don’t have time
to incorporate all that now, but hope to post more detailed service
reviews and case studies in the future and will try to include.
@Mark: Thanks, I’m pretty sure that I first heard about ParkingRevolution
via your tweet/review.
I use Noomle.com! It has at least the same function as the other Parking/Minisite Services and is very easy and the support is very fast.
And you know what is best? It is absolutely free!
