Domain Parking is another great investment

    I have one domain currently parked averaging right now $1.74 a day and it has been parked with sedo for about a week now.

    I owned the domain for over a year now, hotsportsplays.com

    Anyone else have domains parked earning money?

    Also this domain hotsportsplays.com was once a great handicapping service that which i shut down and moved the service to another website, so the traffic still comes to hotsportsplays.com from the previous website....

    You can't promote a parked domain it is against the law in some countries. It is what you call cybersquatting.

    Not exactly. If your promoting the domain which was once a website, that is legal

    Kind of like how my domain is currently.

    Scotman is right: you can't promote a parked domain, you may be banned as most domain parking programs don't let you advertise them. See SEDO TOS for further information

    If your site already has traffic don't you make more keeping it going than parking it?

    It's a great idea, because a future business may need to buy your domain name

    It gets traffic from various things, one not being what the domain is used for, so parking it is the better investment

    Can you explain what would bring additional traffic to a parked domain other than the traffic it was getting before being parked?

    Before parking your domain, you should use it as an autoblog for a while: you will get some long tail traffic which will be benefic when you will turn it into a parked domain. Also don't forget you will loose some of your traffic once your domain would have been parked for few months.

    I actually know someone who claims to do this full time. But I have never understood how it is possible to make money off this. You put some kind of ads on the site or something? How much can you change the appereance of a parked domain?
