    Don't pay for any park services anyway. The free ones, like Google and Sedo, does a better job.

    Yes.. Sedo is the best choice...

    Adsense for domain is yet too basic, poor rate and no reports.

    Personally, I only park a domain if I plan on flipping it fast. Parking can get you a high CTR so is good for short-term if your domain has some traffic coming in.

    If I'm keeping the domain, I always throw a quick mini site up on it and promote some affiliate products, even if it's just an Amazon widget, along with AdSense or YPN!

    This way you can do some minor link building and over time the mini site will gain traffic and revenue where a parked domain tends to eventually lose traffic and revenue over time.

    It's basically a question of what your goals and intentions are. If you're just looking to capitalize on existing traffic to the domain for the short term then Google for Domains, Sedo and other parking services are good options, and if you're planning to keep the domain invest an hour or two to develop a mini site and get it some back links.

    Just my thoughts on it.

    Scott: Your thoughts are great.. however, would be interested to comparison of revenue generated between mini-sites and sedo parking from an independent third party.:eek::)

    Definitely go with a mini-site if you think there's something to do with your domain. You can build some backlinks and slowly gain some rankings with the search engines. If you only had parked your domain, you will have some visitors and if it's true you can achieved great CTR with parked pages, it's not like having more and more visitors! :)

    Yeah, easy to park with google but it when you have a google adsense account :D

    Service good or not only by traffic of your site. More traffic will get more money :rolleyes:

    I'm assuming because of my signature? LOL, that's fair enough.

    It's really just a numbers game though. If you park a domain you aren't going to SEO it, and you aren't going to get any legitimate new backlinks to it, so naturally it's going to fade from SERPs (if it's in there at all). That means traffic will fade to just type-ins eventually.

    On the other hand, with a mini-site you can climb the SERPs, gain honest links, and traffic can rise to include type-ins as well as organic from search and links.

    That's why it only makes sense to me if you plan to keep a domain for the long term the best use of it is to develop it. If you don't plan to keep it long term, then parking is a great transitional place holder for making a little cash until you sell.
