For all of those domainers that park domains, Google is finally allowing Adsense to be placed on parked domains.  That’s right, this is a full blow parking service provided by Google and is available to all USA Adsense accounts.

Apparently from December 11th, 2008 to December 18th, 2008 all Adsense accounts will have this feature enabled.  If its not in your account yet, be patient.

Unlike most parking providers, Adsense requires participants to create A name and CNAME records for each domain added to the Adsense for Domains parking program.  Providing your domain(s) are using your Registrars nameservers, this is not a big deal unless you plan to serve Adsense on a large number of parked domains.  Hopefully Google will decide to handle each domains DNS in the future which would certainly make the parking program easier for people to use.

In my portfolio of domain names, I have a few good ones that I just can’t ever see myself parting with.  The reason?  They have a lot of type in traffic.  But I’ have a domain name that someone else has wanted for years, and this post chronicles some of my dealings with this domain name stalker.

Every few months I get an offer for one of my domains.  The initial price they suggest is always around $300-$400.  Then I get into discussions with the person and they ask how much I want to sell it for.  I tell them $x,xxx, which I feel is a good value.  They always respond saying the most they will pay is $800.

As Webmasters, many of us have personal projects we would like to work on in the future.  A lot of this work involves the creation of new sites.  There’s a good number of us that have domains just sitting around, begging for our attention.  Instead of letting these domains sit around, let’s look at domain name parking and how it can generate some additional revenue.

Those that are familiar with domain parking tend to have their favorite parking providers.  I’m no different.  I’ve tried quite a few domain parking companies and the revenue earned per click does vary widely.  So let’s take a look at two of the better known parking companies.
