Roy,
I have tried in the past and I know a few people who have, the only person who makes money is the domain parking company. Just like you most people don't click on link and the few that do, you probably get paid $0.00000001 per click so its a waste of time, just develop your domain or keep it doormant .
Haven said that I could be wrong but there is 90% chance that I am righ going by my experience and other webmasters I have known.

You need a domain name like sex.com to make money from parked domain

If I had a domain called sex.com I'd spend too much time looking at it and not enough promoting it! ;-)

Hahaha, you will be consuming what you should be selling LOL

Hi all, I have some domains parked and up for sale hehe in six months they have earned me a WOPPING £0.22 hehe Im laughing all the way to the bank.
sedo.co.uk is where they are parked and it's free so I sould not complain realy.

I have NorthWalesLive.com and .co.uk. I initially thought that one of the big newspapers might be interested or a local media company, but on Sedo this week I saw that the name NorthWalesNewspapers.com was up for sale and I noticed that North Wales Newspapers are now using NWN.com as their domain instead. Sure it's easy to remember (NWN) but does it say what the business is about, no. I thought the idea of a domain name was to say what you are and if possible to include a geographic reference in it. Therefore I'm really shocked that North Wales Newspapers.com is for sale. Also, if I bought that, wouldn't I be open to some copyright issues if I used it! Anyway, I'm straying from the point. After careful thought and after reading posts in these forums, I'm going to point NorthWalesLive to my website at northwaleslinks.co.uk because it makes more sense to use it than to park it. Parking (for money) schemes like Sedo's will only work if you get out there and promote the ass off the domain. If I'm having to do that, I might as well put the effort in to get folks to my own site, and not furnish the pockets of Sedo. Don't get me wrong, Sedo is a good service and there can be some good returns, but for newbies with little cash to throw around, I think we'd be better off putting the domains to work for ourselves.

Thanks all.

Thanks all.

This is highly likely so I think you should jut let it be. The newspaper company are more resoursed than you and they will be able to take if of you if they are determined to.

I have done some parking in the past, didn't earn a buck

You'd probably be better off writing a little script that generates an adsense ad.
All you would need to do is choose a topic and put a few keywords into your meta tags to generate the adsense ad.

Just a thought.

Parking domains are not a bad investment if you have at least $10000 to invest in domains.
