    ok so im new to domaining but i think ive made a good start and brought some nice domains that i was actually suprised to see still avaliable..
    anyway im wondering whats the best way to profit from my domains

    should i park my domains with some big company?
    or is it possible to park my domains myself by making up a template and adding google adsense or something like that? would that be viable considering i need to pay for hosting and advertising to get traffic. and is it even possible to advertise a site with adsense and still make profit on the ads on that site? if that makes sense
    also,
    whats the best way to get traffic to a parked site or site with very little/basic info?
    and is adsense the best way to profit on my site?

    are there any better ways to profit from a site before i eventually sell them?

    any info on this topic would be awesome!

    thanks

    I suppose that the best way to earn money with the domain and not selling it, is to park the domain.. Hope it can be useful info.

    It's better to point this domain to free blog ( like blogspot ) and maintain some unique contains with Adsense on it. Will generated more bucks than park domain.

    The best ways to profit from domain names is find end users and sell them at high prices :)

    parking only makes sense when the domain receives a lot of traffic. A freshly registered domain isn't going to have that.

    After dealing with this same question/dilemma for years myself, I finally just broke down and created my own in-house parking system that lets me fill in a single form with a domain name, keyword and theme options, and it automatically parks the domain on my servers and builds an information site (using licensed content) with affiliate ads sprinkled into the content.

    Much easier than other options, ultimately more profitable than traditional parking with lessening PPC rates ever was for me, doesn't require more than about a minute per domain to setup, I can promote my domains for traffic or to perspective buyers as I see fit, and it gives me more time to shop for domains or do whatever else I need to through the day.
