Profit from parked domains

Anybody making money?

[reborn]

Recently I signed up with one of so-called 'parked domain sponsors', my domain portfolio isn't very big (less than 50 names), yet in one week I saw that around 20 visitors came across everyday, making me around $20 total.
Would like to hear your opinions.

Anybody making money?

Yes...

Lot's of people are. Parked domains are like cyber alley's. (pssst wanna buy some enlargement pills?)

If parked domain has no traffic then no money. If it has traffic, then traffic=money. Ofcource it would not be easy to tell if it is gonna have traffic or not until you register, so it is like gambling. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose.

was making about $6k a month started feb 2004, finished buying around july 2004

manually found around 1,500 typos , trademarks, high traffic sites.

some high bid traffic , loans, credit cards giving $2 a click, others around 0.10 + example, i had bankofamericamastercard.com - earning about $10 a day. then i got the c&d letter. im not in usa so not a problem, i was feeling generous so i gave them it anyway,

on about 7,000 uniques a day, quality type in traffic.

its very easy to do , not much skill involved. but your too late. since 2004 , its really become saturated and companies like new.net(qsrch) using scripts registering ,1000 domains a day. they have about 200,000 domains now.

if you started in 2002, easy to be a millionaire by now. instead of 95% of the typos being registered, they would have been available. most of the domains i checked were taken, 2001-2002 but i found enough to get the $6k a month.

ultsearch, sold his 100,000 domains last month to ah-ha (enhance.com?)for 164 million $ - 8.5years revenue
