Domain parking is simple. You register with a parking company and it to display a variety of ads on your domain. The parking company usually has an agreement with large search engines such as Yahoo! or Google that provide ad feeds. When a visitor to your domain clicks on an ad that particular advertiser pays the search engine who in turn pay a portion to the parking company, who pay a portion to you.
Once you buy or register a domain, you then register with one of many parking companies. Each company gives you instructions on how to use their service. Typically you have to change your name servers. Most companies also offer options to target the type of ads that are displayed on your domain. You can choose a specific keyword or subject for the ads.
The only downfall to using domain parking is most parking companies prohibit you from increasing traffic to your domain. The reason for this is that search engine companies are trying to display their ads on sites where they do not control the traffic. So using domain parking is typically for domains that have already established traffic.
The key to making money from domain parking is owning a domain that receives natural traffic. You will need to research domains that already have traffic. You can do this by using a variety of tools such as Google external tool and Alexa.
