Domain parking = worth it?

Well, all your users would leave if you were parking it for matinince

If your domain is pretty popular like pizza.com , then it's worth it.

If you have a useless domain that there's lots of links to, eg download links, park it and put 100000 popups

If you have a domain that is a typo of an existing site, you will likely get traffic accidentally.

If you have an expired site--a domain that used to be a popular website and for whatever reason dropped to you--you'll likely get traffic.

There are a number of other domains that could wind up with traffic, but these are just the obvious, easy-to-explain ones.

domains like gogle.com googlr.com hotmial.com ... have very high earning potential from parking them. it all depends on how you choose the domain name.
