Domain Parking is a much less known alternative to AdSense ads,and unlike joining the vast majority of Ad Agencies,which are free to join,domain parking requires an investment on your part.Many of you may have the necessary tools already and are not be aware of it.How many of us have registered a domain name with dreams of greatness only to let the name sit there unused?

Simply put,by using a top rated Domain Parking Service you can monetize a domain without having to develop it at all,you simply join and add your URL and they set up everything.The most you may have to do is select keywords that fit your name-or assign some if it is a generic name.
The one draw back to most of the premium services is they require you to add as many as ten domains before they will consider you for membership,plus they wish your names to be of a certain quality and some even restrict membership to Western publishers only.

However-if you can join a Premium Parking Service such a Parked.com you should.
Why?
Simple-your earnings will be much higher with them then any of the other less stringent services.
Since they will in essence be showing the same sponsored ads as if you did a search on a Major Search Engine ,from top feeds like Overture,the advertisers are willing to pay much more then they would bid on your normal PPC ad. 
 However this ability to attract top paying ads does come with a price ;you must be very careful of the traffic you attract-and be very careful to follow the TOS of the parking service.  Failure to do so will at the best see your feed downgraded to that of a standard service,which can have a huge bearing on both conversions and earnings.Naturally at worst you will simply be banned. 

Finally however there is a parking service available to anyone from anywhere and with no minimum quality conditions on the domain name,nor a minimum amount of domains needed.If you have even one domain you are welcome to join WhyPark.com .These are a very different type where you can have huge interaction with the website they publish for your domain name and there are upgrades available that will allow you to even place other ads along with their search suggestions.

I could fill pages explaining all the features and terms etc,but that would be redundant,as it is all on the FAQ pages of both Parked.com and WhyPark.com,and they both have excellent and friendly support.

My intention here is more then to promote the parking services I recommend (after trying a dozen or more) but to educate you to another form of earning from AdSense Alternatives,one that I feel rounds out a publishers ”portfolio” if you will,and gives a home to all those thousands of empty domain names out there.If you own a few domains not doing anything-why not park them and see what happens?

Or,as many do,you could actively search for “used”domain names in specialty shops on eBay ,buy good keyword names,park them and let the past traffic find them.I have personally purchased a good name for 99 cents,put it up for sale and the next day someone looking at names to buy placed a click on it that paid me over $7.00.

Domain parking is right for some,not so good for others-I have seen many a person realize the income possibilities go all out driving low quality traffic by any means possible.They all of course are now no longer members of the services they used.
Greed is the cause of more failures on line then anything else;but if you have the money,the time,the patience and the dedication to wait for good traffic or to promote only in allowed manner-then domain parking is a great AdSense Alternative for you.Plus you may just find some name that you can later sell at a huge profit-it happens everyday.

Western readers with 10 or more domains ready to be parked should join Parked.com.
Any and all others-even those with one domain but with a wish to get started should join WhyPark.com
