    hey, this is my first post here but ive been reading a lot and its a really helpful forum for me, so thanks for that! So heres my question. Ive been reading about domain parking but i would like to get opinions from people who know more than i do about it. So if I understand, you basically just buy a domain name, go register with sedo or any parking service out there, and they will put advertisement on it, and you make money out of it? If so, how do you get traffic on the said domain name? Only from the search engines?

    And i was also wondering, would it work if I just buy a domain name similar to some domain that generates a lot of views (example: if I get gogle.com so I get all the people that would mispell the word google when typing it?)

    Thanks a lot everyone, i really appreciate your help with this!

    You don't make money out of it right away - and you get traffic usually through advertising. And doesn't have to be only from search engines.

    To be honest, parking domains isn't always the best way to make money unless your domain seems to get a 100k pageviews a day. You'd be better off making a small blog, putting some contents on it, and selling monthly sidebar links.

    In short - you kinda rent your domain out to a parking company, which puts some ads on your site and shares advertising revenue with you. But it's a waste of time if you don't have a great domain with good type-in traffic.

    btw, plonka you don't get much traffic from search engines (if at all), since most search engines won't crawl a parked domain... also parking companies themselves prevent your domain from being crawled.

    Hi
    Guys. I have a doubt. I am an affiliate of a prominent domain parking company. They had given all the tools to promote the domain parking script and their services.
    My doubt is how can I turn this opportunity into cash?
    Who will buy domain parking scripts and all?
    Pls help me.

    well people make money out of domain parking by gaving a 1000s of mispelled sites in there kitty.

    So if you have money or patience to find such domain and willing to built in long run and ready to wait for few years to see money pouring in then do that.

    Better thing blogging and Auto blogging. LEarn that make money:D

    Yes you will get all those people. I'm absolutely certain then once they do not see google welcome page they will leave your web site immediately. Frankly speaking I would leave your web site
