The most popular method of making money using Parked domains, is providing search queries.
As soon as the user lands up on your site, he is offered suggestions that are infact keywords based on your domain name. These search query results are charged per click on the advertisers and Google Adsense is one of the players involved.
Alternatively, I suggest that you use these parking pages (these can be customized with some hosts) to test banners from affiliate programs with the highest paying hosting companies. Try placing three banners at the top of your pages – with a brief description of the company’s product offerings taken straight from their web sites. This has proved to be a great success for a lot of people – and can increase your revenue stream substantially!

Lazy Domainer Domain Parking Definition
If you've arrived here looking for a domain parking definition, i will try to be as short as possible but i will concentrate on how to make money with parking. Domain parking it's a service that some Parking companies (sedo, name drive and others) offer where you point your domain to them, tell what is your domain about (music, sports, etc), and they automatically build a site (with little or no content) with paid ads.
When someone clicks the ads, you make money. That's all. Sounds easy? It is! You don't have to design a site, prepare content, no hosting bills to pay, no nothing! This is a paradise for the lazy domainer. Now...that is easy money ain't it?

Domain Parking Basics
How do you do domain parking?
First of all, you need to know what type of domain to park. If you can think of an up and coming idea and capitalize it by buying domain names this is a great idea. If you know, for instance, that something new is in the works and becoming popular and the .com name isn't yet taken, you can park it an earn from it. You might get approached by someone later who will pay big money for that domain or you might find that people happen upon it while looking for something else. By filling the landing page with relevant advertisements or affiliate marketing ads and banners, you can make a regular stream of income.
If you are waiting until later on to reserve that great domain name you've been thinking about, don't tarry too long otherwise it could be gone and someone else might either build upon it and use it to their advantage or merely park it and wait to charge you big money for it.
It takes a bit of time to get things ready to do things this way. If you don't want to take the time, effort and money to register the domain, sign up for affiliate programs, build a page, maintain and manage a page and fill it with advertisements, you can choose to share the profits by working with a company to do the management for you.
There are several companies that will do domain parking for you and pay you a percentage of the fees. Some offer cheap domain name registrations and other incentives to get you to join up.
Many domain parking options are available and if you cannot come up with a catch phrase, you can often come up with a similar name to another company that may get hits. There are some cheap domain names registrars out there with some great deals to offer you.

Domain Squatting is Big Business
According to major registrars, the parked domain business nets over $5 - 8 million each year.
HOW?
Domain pages can be registered for small sums of money with a full refund if cancelled within 5 days. So, you can select a few names and see what happens.
If the “name” is an important one then it could sell for between USD 5000—USD 8 million dollars. If you are lucky you could buy a name that has great demand.
You can at an appropriate time sell the domain name on an auction site. You could either list the names on Ebay.com, Afternic.com, or Ezdomainauction.com or hire a broker to sell the domain for you. One such broker is GreatDomains.com. To give you an idea, domains like internetbank.com sold for $92,800 while a1restaurants just sold for $730.
Now start thinking of domain names!

Why Park Domains!
Domain names are being snapped up all the time so if you have thought of a cool domain name for a future project then it might be wise to register it now. There is a chance that if you leave it too late someone else may register it. While your planning your site you can park the domain name.
Domain parking is a process where you register a domain and do not enter the domain name servers of your hosting company. Usually the domain registrar will park your domain by default on their server, this means that if you type your domain name into a web browser you will arrive at a default page provided by the registrar.
If you are going to hold onto the domain for a while or not develop a site straight away then you may want to consider a domain parking service that offers you revenue from your parked domain. Domain parking services such as Traffic parking and Sedo offer revenue sharing from your parked domain. However the issue is that with sites like Sedo, there is not much revenue sharing and you will be getting very low amounts from them.
What you need is a more robust way to making money from these parked domains - carried out in the next post!
