<p><a href="http://www.devhub.com">Dev Hub</a> just shared with me the results of a three month test of 50 domains chosen by the client a domain name portfolio holder.  As you can see from the chart’s below, over the three month test the domains that were previously just parked, went from making $63 a month to over $140 a month.</p>
<p>The 50 domains went from having no search traffic when they were parked to getting almost 3,000 visitors from search in the third month on Dev Hub platform.</p>
<p>So while some of the improvement in revenue can be attributed to additional traffic generated from search, Dev Hub was able to generate 58% of the revenue from sources other than parking.</p>
<p>Pretty impressive, especially when you consider the fact that only 1/2 of the domains in the test were .com’s.</p>
<p>This report comes at a time when the industry is looking for new and better ways to monetize domains.</p>
<p>It was just a little over a month ago that I was sitting on the <a href="http://www.ricklatona.com/2009/12/02/test-track-now-open-for-submissions-entrepreneurs-and-investors-unite/">TRAFFIC test track panel</a> when Mark Michael one of the co-founders of Evo Media Group, the company behind the development platform,, Dev Hub appeared before us looking for an additional $1.5 Million of investment capital.  Although I was quite impressed with Dev Hub system and Mr. Michael’s presentation, I couldn’t commit to that type of funding in the 15 minutes we had.</p>
<p>Looks like I made a bad decision.</p>
<p><a href="http://domainnamewire.com/2009/11/25/devhub-creator-snags-1-5-million-investment/">Dev Hub did in fact secure the investment they were seeking after the show</a>.</p>
<p>Here is the charts and relevant data for the case study:</p>
