Welcome to the Main Page for the Karr Network!
What is the Karr Network?
The Karr Network is a large collection of topical information websites which I, Kurtis Karr, currently own and manage. For each of my sites, I try to determine the most logical topic related to its domain name. Then, I consolidate and reorganize all of the most relevant information I can find from all over the web.
Why is the Karr Network?
That question is a little bit harder to answer. At first, I started out small with just a single personal site. But as time went by, I found the complex process of manually coding and designing websites rather addictive and started 'collecting' domains which interested me. Since 1994, I have created dozens of independent sites on topics ranging from art to zoology. I found, however, that as my domain portfolio grew it became increasingly tedious to manually update my sites with fresh new content. I therefore decided to focus my efforts on consolidating and reorganizing the information that was already freely available on the web. This allowed me to spend more time doing what I really love - tinkering with the underlying code.
Is This a Domain Parking Network?
That really all depends on your point of view. I consider it to be much more advanced than an ordinary parking network. Most parking networks consist of sites which are nothing more than domains with advertising links. They provide little or no useful information for their visitors. This might be fine for the short term but it gives visitors no reason to return. Conversely, I try to provide my visitors with all of the relevant information they were searching for in the first place. I include relatively few advertising links on my pages and none of the annoying popups. This might decrease my revenues in the short term with lower advertising click-through rates but I like to think the overall traffic from return visitors eventually makes up for it.
Are Any of the Domains for Sale?
In a word, 'yes', although it was never my primary intention to sell domain names. I would prefer to hang on to most of my domains indefinitely. Unfortunately, a good many of my domain names do not generate enough revenue to keep their registrations active. Therefore, to support my 'habit', I must reluctantly supplement my income with an occasional domain sale. For the complete list of my available domain names along with their assessed values, please see my domain names for sale page. If you have a question regarding a specific domain, please contact me.
