I read this post the other day:

http://adsense.blogspot.com/2010/12/...easier-to.html

And it got me thinking if Google are making it simpler to park your your domains with them and they are the advertising broker most of the time, why aren't more people using them?

I found the revenue generated by Google parking to be much lower than with parked.com or smartname.com. However lately I have found the best 'parking' method is to create mini sites that use adsense.

The google domain parking didn't work well for me at all for some reason.

Bad landing pages, possibly lower revenue shares as well.

Thanks for everyone's responses. I appreciate it.

This is what I'm doing - it just takes at least a couple of days to get each minisite up and running and then add unique content and I have quite a few domains that are just sitting their waiting for their turn to be developed.

Nice sales pitch,

Given a minisite is just adsense with content I don't see how they could outperform unless the traffic grows by a very significant amount.

Donate buttons? That really works?

I doubt it.

I think he is referring to the fact minisites can be used to rank better rather then rely on type in traffic on parked domains. Ranking park domains is a tough job.

Also, more money to be made with those revenue streams then a parked page for sure....if you have the right traffic.
