    Most (if not all) parking companies forbid adding new links for parked domains, so create some links before parking :) If it's already parked, unpark it, create the links and then park it with another parking company. The parking companies and their upstream partners deal with parked domains in bulk and have analysis routines that spot unexpected changes in the performance of the names with them.

    If you're going to play the parked domains game, play by the rules.

    Personally I'm disillusioned with parking. Unless you have a name that gets good type-in or there are pre-existing links that people will click, you won't make much from your parked domains. I've got around 1000 parked domains and only 10% of them are generating revenue worth having. The Paretto (80/20) rule applies here with 10% of my sites making 90% of the revenue. Unless you have a great name for parking, any effort you put into it as a parked name is unlikely to pay as much as you'd make spending the same time flipping burgers at Macdonalds,

    I'm progressively changing my under performing parked domains into little 2 to 5 page sites with real content.

    The one advantage of parking the other 90% of the sites is the "This domain may be for sale" link, it brings a few sales enquiries. It's hard to do this

    Thanks a lot. This clears up a lot of things for me. I think I agree with you that parking is not as lucrative as it seems. Gotto builld a minisite instead!

    I suppose he meant SEO and promotion of your own domain names.
