A large number of bloggers and individuals I know trying to make money on the internet, own multiple domain names. Many of these names are currently parked on their registrars hosting platforms sitting there making no revenue. Actually, they are making revenue, just not in their owners pockets! Did you know that most registrars allow you to park your domain name free, because they create landing page with adsense ads or other forms of monetization? This allows them to make up the money it costs (pennies a month) for them to park your domain.

Put these to work! Setup your own landing page with keywords surrounding the topic of the website you originally purchase the domain for and throw a few adsense blocks in there. Remember to make it look professional, not like a splog please. However, there is nothing wrong setting up a nice landing page that could make you money instead of the registrar. There is absolutely nothing wrong with setting up a page devoted to a little content related to the domain and some adsense to bring in a little extra cash-flow.

I currently own over a hundred domain names, only a modest percentage of which are in use for active projects. The remaining end up with a splash page for the project’s coming soon notice or a landing page for advertisements. In all, off nine of my landing pages, I’ve made up the cost for six of my domain names in four weeks time. Not bad really.. it helps to get a bit of my investment back..
