Advertising on Parked Domains?

    I hope this is the right place for this question.
    I have seen a ton of these parked domains that show up in some competitors back links searches. I have tried somewhat feebly to find out how to get my links on these sites, you know the ones that have some domain names that are misspelled, or whatever. A way for the owner of the domain to get some income.

    First question is how do I get onto them, where do I locate the parked domain url or location?

    Second, is there any danger to advertising on such domains. I doubt too many people find you purposefully on these sites so it is for serps and links.
    Does google loathe them? I doubt google loves them.

    Actually google uses them - it's part of the Google Network for Adwords
    https://adwords.google.com/support/...&query=parked+domains&topic=&type=f& onclick=

    Though most advertisers don't like them, and they've recently given the ability to block them

    Amazing! I would have thought Google, of all sources would not approve of these "sites" which are nothing more than a page with ads on them. I think they are kinda ugly and spammy but some of my competitors seem to love them. Thanks for the response and the links. Awesome!

    Hello,
    1.There is a lot of parking page services sites like sedo, etc. they usually have agreements with text ad providers, search feed providers.(it is better for you to contact them directly)

    2.The only danger is that the traffic you will be getting will be very untargeted therefore conversion rates will be extremely low. In my opinion It would be better for you to start a campaign directly with ppc search engines, (abcsearch, 7search etc) where your link or ad will be shown only to users who search for certain keywords that you specify.
    cheers!

    Such a statement may be true for untargeted domains. I have parked domains that exceed 40% CTR, but the domains are highly targeted and get mostly type in traffic.

    Good point.
    However in this case, richromo will not have the option to choose on which parked domains his ad would appear.
    Correct me if I'm wrong.
    Have a good day!
