Domain Revenue

Domain revenue encompasses all income streams generated by a domain name or portfolio, including outright sales (the primary and highest-value event), [[domain-rental|rental and leasing fees]], [[domain-lead-generation|lead generation]] commissions, pay-per-click parking revenue via platforms like Sedo, ParkingCrew, or GoDaddy Cashparking, and affiliate commissions earned through developed micro-sites or redirect monetisation. Methodically tracking per-domain revenue against [[domain-holding-cost|holding costs]] over time gives investors clear data on which names merit continued renewal and which should be dropped at expiry, directly driving portfolio-level [[domain-investing-roi|ROI]] improvement and capital efficiency.

Example

A portfolio of 300 parked domains earns an average of $1.20/month each ($4,320/year total), partially offsetting the $4,800 annual renewal bill while the investor awaits sale opportunities.
