What ParkLogic does

ParkLogic is a privately held Australian domain asset management and monetization platform, founded in 2007 by Michael Gilmour and headquartered in Melbourne. The company serves two primary B2B segments: professional domain investors seeking to maximize revenue from their portfolio traffic, and domain registrars looking to monetize expiring, default-DNS, and owned-portfolio inventory. Its core technology is Artemis, a machine-learning-driven real-time auction engine that prices traffic using 300+ data points per domain per day and auctions every click in under 100 milliseconds across 100+ global advertising feeds, routing each visitor to the highest-paying bidder.

The platform is built as a connected suite of eight services. Alongside Artemis are Apogee (an API-driven dashboard and reporting system), Parkiter (an analytics-driven parking page with real-time auction links), SSL Plus (a top-10 globally scaled SSL certificate system handling billions of secure requests daily), Subscribers (a lifetime-value attribution model for subscription traffic), AdLogic (a programmatic demand-side portal for advertisers), Valet (a keyword-auction solution for website owners), and Partners (a network portal for ad-feed operators). Access is application-only; clients receive a unique nameserver so domains are onboarded automatically.

ParkLogic monetizes via revenue-share on traffic leasing (publishers typically receive 50%, with top-tier publishers receiving up to 70% — ParkLogic retaining a 30-50% commission), per-domain listing fees in its marketplace ($0.03/domain/month, $50/month minimum), and programmatic take-rates from AdLogic advertisers. The company has remained bootstrapped and founder-controlled throughout its 18+ years of operation, currently employs 1-10 people, and serves customers globally with documented scale signals including top-10 global SSL usage and billions of monetized requests per day.

Revenue model

1. Traffic Leasing Revenue Share: ParkLogic leases traffic from domain publishers and monetizes it through its optimization platform. Publishers receive a percentage of revenue generated, with rates starting at 50% (publisher share) and potentially decreasing based on traffic volume, quality, and adopted services. For example, a customer on a 30% rate receives 70% of reported revenue while ParkLogic retains 30% commission.
2. Marketplace Domain Sales: ParkLogic charges 3 cents per month per domain listed for sale in the ParkLogic marketplace (when a domain for sale message is displayed), with a minimum charge of $50 per month.
3. Valet Keyword Auction: Website owners place a code snippet on their site, and when users click keywords, a real-time auction is triggered between over 30 global advertising networks. Revenue is generated from the winning advertiser bid.
4. Direct Traffic Platform (DTP): For direct traffic providers, ParkLogic provides a method to forward traffic to the DTP and charges for traffic optimization and delivery services.
