Domain Parking
If you surf the internet a lot, then most likely you have visited a parked domain. How many times have you mistyped a web site name like gooogle.com and been brought to a landing page with ads, a search box, and related links? Maybe you haven’t realized it but these are called parked domains.
What is a Parked Domain?
A parked domain is an undeveloped site belonging to a domain name registrar that is primarily used to monetize type-in traffic.
Can you make money from a parked domain?
Domain Parking is a simple way to earn money. If you have registered domain names, but they are not being currently used, then domain parking is a great way to put those domains to work earning you revenue. Your idle or under construction domain can be used to display relevant advertisements and when someone clicks on one of the advertisements you earn money. The ads featured on parked domains may be provided by Google, Yahoo, or another advertising partner.
In my opinion, to be successful at domain parking, you really need to own a domain name of a popular term or a domain name of a highly trafficked web site that is misspelled quite often (i.e. gooogle.com). It wouldn’t hurt to key your eye out and find an expired domain that has lots of traffic.
