last i heard, google has more ads on parked domain pages than any other ad network... and since domain parking is a booming business, it must be working for some advertisers:

"The more generic, advertising-oriented domains are known in industry parlance as "direct navigation" sites because they attract visitors searching for information by typing an address, such as "newyorkrealestate.com," directly into their Web browsers, rather than using a search engine. Domain owners are paid each time someone clicks on an ad placed on one of these sites by ad brokers like Google.
Revenue from text ads on these sites will total $400 million to $600 million world-wide this year and may reach $1 billion by 2007, according to Susquehanna Financial Group analysts Marianne Wolk and Roxane Previty, who track the online ad industry."
