For years now investors have been trying to make a living by purchasing large numbers of domain names and parking them. In case you don't know, domain name parking is the practice of creating a 'landing page' filled with advertisements without any real content. The theory goes that people will click these ads and generate enough advertising dollars to cover the domain name and hosting costs plus a little profit. This rarely is the case in actual practice.
Luckily it's not really the theory that fails... but instead it's the practice. You can't just register just any old name and expect people to know it's there. You're not going to promote your parked page because you don't really have real content and the cost would eat up all your revenues. Webmasters aren't going to link to your parked page for the same reason... you have no genuine content. Web surfers aren't going to type your obscure domain name into the browser... unless they're really intoxicated. In fact, the only way surfers will ever know that your parked pages even exist is if they show up in the search engine results. And there lies the key to success in domain parking my friend.
Most investors who fail parking domains have portfolios filled with artistic and creative domain names. SnorkelSnoot.com would be a very cool name if you were willing to spend millions of dollars promoting it. kickinickers.com may be creative... but it's worth nothing as a parked domain because nobody will ever know it exists. Stop trying to make up new words by combining two or more real words because internet surfers don't search for them. Parking domain names leaves no room for 'artistic' indulgence and if you insist on using this philosophy you too will die like most artists... unknown and broke.
Choose domain names that have exact meaning using real words. In a perfect world, one word domain names are the most valuable. Unfortunately 95% of all dictionary words have already been registered and 99% of frequently searched words have been taken. That's ok because real surfers usually search using phrases anyway. Try to think about what your audience is looking for on the internet. Try to think about what phrases they would use to find it. The secret to domain parking success is to register domain names filled with search engine keywords.
