I see you guys have gotten off topic again as of recent. But ill give my 2cents on the last 10 pages.
I am new to parking and actively domaining but I have owned domains for years that just sat empty and never used or had died for some reason or another. I tried parking and I am glad to see that domains that have been reged and idle for years are able to make a dollar a week or so. Now that I have finally seen the possibilities of monetization I am looking for other means of adding to my parked revenue.
The way I see it is that our parked pages are more a a affiliate with the advertisers. Our success is their success. If I have a parked page I should be allowed to drive as much traffic to it as possible since this is in the best interest to the advertisers to. The example with the ping pong balls is a great example. An advertiser would love it if you were spending the money to drive traffic to their site. This should be allowed as long as we are not competing with the actually advertiser for keywords. Submitting the site to link directories or writing articles is no different in my mind than submitting the site to search engines.
The reason I am still parking most of my pages now is that its the easiest way to get revenue from them. Of course it would be great to develop them but who says that developing would make you money. Your options are adsense and affiliates if you have no products or services to sell. Ive attempted to develop a new domain that involves both of these methods and have been using paid advertising to drive traffic to them. It just hasn't paid off the clicks cost me 0.40 and adsense only gives 0.02 cents in return on the same traffic. With parking it just takes 1 click to make it worth it. I has just been impossible for me to find a ground between the two methods that works.

Legit traffic would be human visitors, no matter how these visitors arrive at the page.

1. Sedo considers natural traffic to be when a) a visitor manually enters the domain name into a browser or b) a visitor finds the domain in search results that were not there because the owner paid for them.
3. External hyper-linking to a parked domain is a no-no. A domain can be mentioned in a forum for sales purposes (and you can certainly link to a domain's "for sale"/offer page), and if people enter the domain name in manually to check it out, then that's primarily okay. However, psychologically speaking, a hyperlink is basically the same as asking somebody to visit the parked page.

2. Parked pages are essentially search results. Sedo does not like sponsored search results, and does not encourage search engine submissions. The reason for this is simple: Internet users like to find websites when searching, and it is misleading to represent a parked page as a destination for goods or services when parked domains are portals to such things. I don't think anyone likes searching for more search results. :hehe:
