Profit margin for a Domain Developed for Advertisement?

[BandAid]

Hello.

I was contacted by a web developer wanting to develope advertisement content for a city domain that I own (Turkish, not IDN), in return they will pay me monthly revenue percentage and I keep the name registry.

What are the usual percentage values offerred in such schemes?

Thank you in advance.

From the way you worded your post, it seems that they're calling the shots and not you, the owner of the domain.

First I would switch this order

Second, are you prepared to make nothing if they make nothing?

Third: see number one and since you're now calling the shots you name your price: Monthly fee on a 6 month or 1-year lease with option to renegotiate at end of lease.

Also to consider: Are they going to be actively promoting the site (domain) or are they relying on current traffic? Price can go up or down depending on this.

scratch the above; I just saw "web developer".

My personal opinion:

1. take perhaps 10% revenue

2. lease at a fixed yearly price with option to terminate lease due to non-performance, e.g. incoming revenue cut is less than X per year.


For example, you say that they can lease the domain for $200 a year and that in addition to that, your 10% revenue cut must exceed $500 per year. Just an example... Others may have different opinions.

This is actually a nice alternative to parking, someone puts the namespace to good use, you get a very small cut and if the site + the name is sold you get 100% of the domain value.
