Greetings all. I’ve been thinking of an alternative way to turn a profit out of un-used or under-performing domains. Have you ever been faced with the dilemma of trying to decide on the best in domain parking solutions? How about trying to monetize a site that was parked? Domain parking is a process, offered by most domain registrar services, that allows for an owner of  a website or web address to customize their domain names. Once parked, basic advertisements are placed on this domain in the hopes that some revenue would be shared with you via the parking service’s PPC platform. I’m sure you’ve seen these parked domains before, as they tend to be really simple in design with not a lot to visually draw one in.

Domain name purchasing is one of the most important aspects of Internet marketing. By far, almost no other action that you may take, to increase your online business, will be as important as a strategically chosen and placed domain name. Okay so you’re probably wondering…what exactly is a domain name?

Technically speaking a domain name has an  Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with it. You purchase this domain name from what is known as a domain registrar.
