Can You Still Make Money From Parking Domains?

I'm trying to figure out what I can do with the domains that got hit with the recent update.

I have a few that were making really good money prior to the penguin and was wondering if they would do the same if I parked them.

So, is parking a domain(s) still a good income stream?

Also, do you have to build backlinks to the domains so they pop up on the first page of Google or will the domain provider increase the domain's serp?

    How on earth is parking a domain going to be better
    than leaving it up? Why are you even thinking such
    a thing?

    You need to first understand what a parked domain is.
    Google, as others, used to show parked domains for
    whatever reason. They have gotten better and
    do not like showing parked domains, as they give
    no value to the visitor. Yes, some slip by, from time
    to time. But I have not seen a parked domain in a
    real search I've done in ages.

    Forget about adsense for parked domains. It's
    not going to make you squat.

    Why would taking something down from the internet
    be better than leaving it up?

    Maybe you mean something other than a parked domain.

      I don't think that option (Adsense on parked domain page) even exist anymore, does it?

    You might make money If you have links pointing at your site with traffic (other than SERP traffic).

    I doubt you'll hold a SERP position very long, especially in a competitive niche, other webmasters would most likely report the parked page.

      Most of my domains are a mix of .info, .net, .com and others. I am averaging $20 per 25 domains parked per portfolio. You can make money. Most parking companies do not want you to push traffic or anything. Some let you, some let you buy redirected expired domains traffic and more. If you want to learn more about parking I will be more than happy to help you. PM me for more information!

        Im sure that by buying high traffic expired domains would be feasible to make money from parked domains. The traffic has to be from referring URL on websites and webpages, rather than from Google search keywords (this is because once a domain is parked, the domain is likely to be removed from the organic search results rather quickly.) Even though the traffic from Google won't be high, there are still some domains who get continuous traffic from backlinks from pages which are indexed well.

      I love how all of these people who have no clue what they are doing when it comes to parking say there's no money in it. Ignorance is amusing. You can still make a lot of money parking domains if you know what you're doing. If you don't, then thoughts and comments without proof is just your opinion.

      I've read somewhere before regarding a strategy of buying common miss-spellings of domains which naturally get typed into the browser and get traffic.

      I can see this working other then exact match domains that would naturally get traffic too as sending traffic to your parked domains is a Big NO NO as far as im aware.

      There is also one more method that comes to mind.

      What you could do is use popular social media sites such as tumblr, pinterest, facebook etc to post funny images - Watermark the images or add the parked domain url onto the image so its visible-

      if your image go's viral then many will see the url and then enter it into their browser

      Sounds like something i wouldn't mind testing myself - but this could be a little grey hat :confused:

        That sounds plausible, but I doubt that it can bring lots of traffic.

        Not to mention the effort you would need to exert, it would be best to just put up the domain as a website rather than just park it.

    I guess that the only way is to snatch expired domains with few visitors. If you buy 500 domains with 10 visitors on average, then it will be 5000 visitors a day. Any website with that amunt of traffic will make at least 2k from adsense. If you park them then the income should be higher. ( more ads displayed ).

    I never tried this but it might work, and I have some backlinks that send me traffic from the very start of that websites. People won't bother to remove links to parked websites. I personally don't change old links from my old content. That maybe won't improve your google position, but you can still receive some traffic from bing, and few visitors from that backlinks.

    The key is to get the right domains.

    What's your main idea to earn money from them? Ads? PR? 301 redirection to another site?
