Apart from purchasing & selling domain names, one can also make money by parking domain names. Domain names can be monetized & non-monetized. Under monetized parked domains, relevant ads are shown on landing pages for the purposes of generating revenue. A non-monetized parked domain is used just for displaying an \”under construction\” web site message.

Many people are earning cash simply by parking domains on the internet. There\’re websites which provide domain name parking services. There is more. These sites fill landing pages of these domains with their own content & also place Adsense & other ads. Right. Whatever revenue is made from these ads is shared with domain owners.

One of the objectives of owning domain names can be just to park it somewhere for displaying ads without adding content or doing anything else. There may not actually be a lot of revenue that could be made from this. But if one owns a number of domain names, small amounts earned individually can make one a considerable amount of money.

A question may arise as to why anyone may buy domain names & not populate it with content. The idea behind this is that there\’re many popular domain names. There is more. These domains easily generate some traffic from search engines. If one owns those popular domains, then one can have free traffic.

This free traffic can easily be translated into a money generating system. By adding contextual ads & other pay per click advertising, there is a possibility of making good free money.

Sometimes there\’re unused domain names as well. These can also be parked free on the internet. If these attract some traffic, then they can easily be used for generating cash.

Google has a program called Google Adsense for Domains which is meant for the purposes of placing ads on parked domains. Google\’s semantic technology analyzes & understands the meaning of domain names & prepares conceptually related advertisements from Google Adwords Network for these.

One can park domain names at popular websites like godaddy.com & sedo.com. These websites assign a landing page with each of these domain names & place ads on them. Revenue so generated is shared with domain name owners.

Some people have also been making money from misspelled domains. Many popular domains are often misspelled. It\’s estimated that about 10 per cent of all domain traffic is generated by misspelled domains. One can do some research to profit even from this.

The idea of parked domain names is based closely on traffic monetization by showing some one else\’s content. It\’s a kind of passive income if played right.

Not only that money can be made by parked domain names, if there is enough traffic, one can also sell these domain names at a enormous profit at some particular point of time.

It isn\’t surprising that quite a number of people have been able to make their living just from owning, parking & from purchasing & selling domain names.
