Oversee.net operates one of the largest online performance marketing networks in the world, connecting advertisers with over 260M unique users/mo.
In 2002, its DomainSponsor business unit pioneered the "domain parking" technology that allows owners of undeveloped domain names to monetize the organic, direct navigation traffic hitting those domains. Users win by connecting quickly to highly relevant advertisers. Advertisers win by receiving pre-qualified, high converting, motivated traffic. And owners of undeveloped domains win by earning revenue on organic traffic. Today, DomainSponsor's traffic network receives nearly 1 billion visits per month from around the world.
In early 2011, DomainSponsor announced a new service that allows advertisers to directly bid on and acquire targeted segments of the direct navigation traffic on its network. Since direct navigation users have very specific, strong intent, research studies have shown that they have favorable conversion rates for advertisers.

Sites include LowFares.com, FareSpotter.net, AirportParking.com, AboutAirportParking.com, CreditCards.org, BadCreditOffers.com, ShopWiki.com and CouponFinder.com.
