Domain parking is an extremely inexpensive way to secure a domain for later development, redirection of Web traffic, or re-sale. Domain registrants, or sellers, commonly offer domain parking free with domain registration, as there is virtually no cost involved with domain parking. A parked domain includes one simple page. If the site is intended for development, the page will indicate it is under construction or coming soon. Domain parking can be renewed annually, and there is no deadline as to when a site need be developed. You might find you don’t have time, or you might decide to let the domain expire at the end of the contract, typically one year. In this case, the only investment lost is a few dollars. If you decide to develop your domain, you will need to pay for hosting services at that point. The right hosting service will provide enough space for your website and any special scripts or services you require. Once the domain is being hosted, it is no longer parked. If you already have a successful site, another use of domain parking is to secure addresses similar to your main website and redirect traffic there - an inexpensive way to protect your website. For example, wiseGEEK.net redirects traffic to the proper site, wiseGEEK.com. The first domain is parked. The parked domain need not reside on the same host server as the main website. Some people use domain parking for the sole purpose of ‘re-selling’ the address - transferring ownership to a buyer for a fee. This occurred more in the early days of the internet, when major companies had yet to arrive and were willing to pay a high price for their trademark names. Laws were eventually enacted to protect trademarks, but a parked page can still advertise the sale of a domain. If interested in domain parking, keep in mind a few considerations. Most domain registrants offer hosting services, but you may or may not want the domain seller to host the domain once it is no longer parked. Be sure to check that the domain seller does not retain any rights to the domain. The buyer should have the power to control the domain’s registration information, and most importantly, the ability to transfer the domain to an independent hosting service when and if desired. Check to see whether a fee is associated with transferring the domain. Domain registration once cost over 60 US Dollars (USD) per year, but today a domain can be had for as little as 5.99 USD annually or less. Hence, domain parking is an attractive proposition

How do I get started to make money online doing Domaineering?

1) Someone interested in doing domaineering will probably need to register at least one, if not more, high Internet traffic or niche market generic keyword domain names. Natural type traffic in domain names are highly desireable with .com tlds the most sought after. Aged domain names are also worth considering. Registering a domain name for one year costs about $10 US dollars give or take. It's also a good idea to hide your identity when registering a domain name to cut down on spam. Before registering the domain name, first check to make sure you are not infringing on someone's trademark by checking the trademark registry in the country you are located in before you register the domains. In the USA, check the USPTO.gov trademark registry. If you don't know how to do this, perhaps consulting with an intellectual property attorney is a good idea as trademark law can be tricky. Bottom line: as a general policy, if it's a trademarked word or term, it's probably not generic and consider avoiding registering it as a domain name...unless you own the TM of course. 2) As an intending domaineer, you will then need to open an account at a domain parking services company. These are usually free and some companies want you to have more than one domain name. It's OK to obtain an account at several domain parking companies to see which one pays the most ad revenue for use of your domain names. There are all sorts of landing page formats, ad feeds and different terms of service, (TOS ). Some domain-parking services even let domaineers add content, set keywords and change colors on the landing page(s). Some may auto-optimize the landing page for you. If you make money, the domain parking service will have their hand out wanting their cut of the money for supplying the advertising feed(s) and landing pages. The % share the domain parking company takes varies from company to company and there is sometimes little or even no transparency as to actual the Internet traffic hits or revenue earned your domain name(s) generated. There are also domaineering and domaining forums and blogs read and get ideas from preferably before you get started domaineering. The above constitutes only worthless opinion and does not in anyway constitute legal advice.


How does parking Internet domains make money?

In computer terminology, Internet domain parking used to produce revenue from showing ads is known as "domaineering" as that term is found defined in the pioneering ecommerce work by Prof. William Lorenz on Internet marketing. Domaineering then is the legal web-based marketing business of acquiring and monetizing generic Internet domain names from their use as an advertising medium. Revenue to the keyword domain owner, called a "domaineer", is paid by the advertisers hoping to attract customers to make a sale. This revenue is produced as the potential customers click on the ads to view the content. Often the domain name must be optimized to produce maximum revenue which requires some skill and knowledge of SEO practices. Domaineering generally utilizes a firm offering domain parking services to provide the "feed" of a word or phrase searched for. Occasionally content is added to develop a functional mini-website to better attract the search engines by offering a bigger Internet "footprint". Domaineering is sometimes confused with the similar sounding term "domaining", however, the two are not the same as domaining focuses on selling domain names while domaineering focuses on engineering domain names to earn revenue from advertising.
