    I see many parked domains everyday on the internet and it seems they are getting more everyday.

    Sites like this www.Liva.com

    As I know, people park such domains to make money from clicks (if i am not wrong Google Adsense clicks). But how they do it and does it really works?

    I have a few domains that I can do so. Anyone here doing it too?

    Parking is simple but you need traffic to have chance for clicks. Those sites have no content and therefore search engines don't like them. It is better to build a simple web site with relevant content, get some traffic and then put ads there. It works!

    well you can earn but I think only now if you have very high generic domains like car.com etc. I use to earn over $5k month now only half that.

    There's a few ways outlined on my blog. I guess making your domains into sites and just poping adsense on there, or maybe flipping them.

    I have some good domains that receive solid traffic and are great for parking. Unless the domains receive a lot of type in traffic, or have backlinks that bring traffic, parking is not very useful.

    Its better to host a simple blog on the domain than parking it. It quite hard to get type-in traffic and if you have a domain that gets such traffic, it will make better money if you develop it.

    But where am I supposed to get the traffic from?
    Use the site's nice?

    For an example domain is cars.com
    So the niche I use should be "cars"?

    How about the google ads that will appear there?
    Same niche?

    YES CORRECT. Write articles or make site based on the keywords in your domains. The ads will be based on the niche of your site.

    Another option is to park the domain name at whypark.

    They auto generate articles for your domain name based on your keywords.

    You can customize the site with different ads, templates, images, and build backlinks.
