Domain buying and selling has for long been a very profitable business. If a domainer (person who buys and sells domain names for a living) is lucky enough to buy a domain at the right time, predicting the upcoming trends, they could sell it for an astronomical profit. For example, the domain Candy.com recently sold for 3 million US dollars.<\/p>\n

What does selling domain have to do with ‘Domain Parking’?<\/b>
There are two kind of domain parking: monetized and non-monetized. The latter is a simple ‘Coming Soon…’ message displayed on the page. But what I am talking about is the former, which is where a domain owner converts traffic to a domain, into money. Most domain owners also offer the domain name for sale, and ‘park’ it while they wait for someone to offer the right price.<\/p>\n


\nHow does Domain Parking work?<\/b>
Have you ever
\nclicked a result in Google to find the webpage no longer exists. All that
\nremains is a page of ads? This was probably a parked domain. Owning a domain is
\nmuch like owning real estate. You purchase it when it is cheap and still
\ndeveloping, then sell it when it becomes more popular and property becomes more
\nscarce. In the mean time, you can rent it out. Domain parking is much like
\nrenting out your house, while you wait for it to appreciate and sell at a good
\ntime.<\/p>\n

Using a parking service, such as SEDO or Domain Sponsor, a domain
\nowner is able to have advertising displayed on their domain without creating a
\nwebsite. Most parking services are PPC (pay per click), so the account holder is
\npaid every time a viewer clicks on an ad. There are some pay per impression
\nparking services, but they generally require that you have a large domain
\nportfolio.<\/p>\n

I want to start ‘domaining’!<\/b>
Successful domaining
\ngenerally requires some knowledge of trends and a bit of luck at some domain
\nauctions. But the beauty is – anyone can do it! Your investment is much smaller
\nand thus a smaller risk than purchasing real estate or other investments.<\/p>\n

Once you have a few domains under your belt, you will probably want to
\nbe getting the most out of them, right? Luckily, there are a few tools to help
\nyou along the way!<\/p>\n

We suggest you try out our Above.com Parking Manager.
\nIt will help you optimize and manage all your domain names’ parking in one
\ninterface.<\/p>\n
