Can You Really Earn Through Domain Parking?

I was browsing through the internet and found a success story of a Filipino earning large amounts of money through domain parking. And I was intrigued enough to actually research a little bit of this "Domain Parking".

Well, most or some of you might ask what does domain parking mean?. Here is a description of domain parking by sedo.com:

Domain Parking is a simple way to earn money from your domains' natural traffic. If you have registered domain names, but they are not currently being used, then domain parking is a great way to put those domains to work, earning you revenue. You can make money without even lifting a finger! The idle domain is used to display relevant advertisements -every time a consumer clicks on one of the advertisements, you earn money.

So yeah. Parked domains are domains that are usually not being used for websites, blogs, forums, etc. Domains that are being parked are usually not being used by the owner. By parking your unused domains, you can actually gain some income through the advertisements found in it rather than leave that domain unused and useless. But, there those who actually are making the most of this domain parking.

Domain parking is like real estate, domain names are like land properties bought for investments and in time those domains through traffic will increase in value where you could sell it or just leave it parked and earn from the traffic it generates through advertisements. But like land properties, in which you would have to pick the best location in which you think the value would increase the most, you also have to pick the best available domain name to park. Good examples domains that might attract traffic are loans.com, or car.com. Just imagine how many people would search through Google looking for cars and loans. How many of these people would simply type the word "loan" or "car" in the search bar? For sure if you own the domains loans.com and car.com, your domains would be listed up high in Google's search results.

Through websites that offers domain parking and gives you commissions for every click or purchase a visitor of your domain might do, and you get commissions out of it. Yes it works similar to Google AdSense. If you have a good domain name, you might want to give this a try. Unlike running a website or a blog, you don't actually have to update anything. Just let the course of nature happen and you earn money out of it. The only thing you have to do is check your earnings every now and then. Now, isn't that great? Only having to check you earnings? 10 minutes a day would do! Unlike having a website in which you have to spend hours updating your site so it wont get out of date.
