Domain Parking
In this post i will talk a bit about domain parking and how to earn with that. When you "park" a domain, basically you just register it and let it practically content-less, just giving room for ads that will generate income to you when visitors navigate on your parked domain and click in one of them.
Nowadays most of the good domains, the ones with strong keywords that generate good page rank and therefore good traffic, so the only solution for having a profitable domain parking business is to own a lot of domains, and earning a bit with each of them, you can have a satisfactory amount of money per month. In my opinion a domain is already good enough to be kept when it reaches 5$ profit every month, so if you have lets say 100 parked domains, you can earn 500$ or more.
It's pretty much simple and quick to register a domain, the only problem nowadays is to find viable domains that are still not taken, since its simple and quick for you, so it is for everyone else.
Dynadot.com offers a good deal for people willing to start with domain parking. With Dynadot.com you can register a domain, park it for 5 days to see how it goes and after, if it's not profitable you may give your domain back and get the money you invested in it as credits which can be used to register another domain, with a minimum fee applied.
So get to Google Keyword Tool and try your luck with domain parking!
