Above.com
Above.com is a company that helps people who have a number of domain names in their possession and want to use them to generate additional income. Above.com specializes in parked domains and provides various tools and services to ensure that you are getting the best possible deal. They are actually based in a a suburb of Melbourne, Australia but this would not affect their ability to park domains from anywhere in the world. Above.com Pty Ltd a Trellian™ Company and their website is www.above.com/. They are an ICANN Accredited Registrar.
Parking and Reporting Services
With the sheer number of options for parked domains and various monitoring criteria, ensuring you are optimizing your earning potential can be a tremendous headache. This is where Above.com can step in and make life much simpler. The company provides a parking manager which automatically scans all the options and evaluates them so that you can make an informed choice.
Customers can add all their domains to the manager and can be alerted when any one of the domains falls below a set of performance indicators for a designated period of time. If the manager detects that a domain is underperforming it is moved to the next best option.
The main problem is that not all parking services report traffic in the same manner, with some services ignoring traffic from certain countries or others defining their own criteria for a unique visitor. The Above.com Parking manager simplifies all of this by normalizing all the data and presenting it in a unified interface so it is easier to compare. The management console allows users to generate a number of different reports and organize their domains into groups or folders so that they can easily be moved and managed. Users can either move domains themselves or leave it up to the automatic optimizer.
Customers can track their earning by site and also see the performance of the site over time. If you are looking for more immediate earnings Above.com also provides real time stats. Traffic can also be broken down by geographical location and search terms.
Customer Service and Reviews
Above.com provides its customers with multiple international numbers to contact them depending on where they are located. Surprisingly there is no email address provided. The company also has an online help section which is divided into the following sections:
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick Start Guide
Online Manual
Each section provides in-depth information and can be quite useful for visitors. In addition Above.com also features a blog which provides useful information about domain parking.
The company also features a couple of testimonials on their website in which customers rave about their services. However the fact that only two testimonials are displayed does not build too much confidence in the company.
Before making any decision or signing up with a company it is very important to personally evaluate the company's services. Reviews such as this are not meant to act as a referral and are only for informational purposes.
While Above.com's limited service offerings means they are not suited for people looking to build a website, they do provide useful services for people with a large number of websites. The single interface for multiple reports and automatic optimizers can save a lot of time and hassle.
