Driving traffic to parked names

Hi! i was wondering if there was a way that you could drive traffic to your parked domains (with namedrive/sedo/fabulous) etc that was ok in that it didn't break TOS, and that was cost effective.

Any advice would be appreciated as I've found my traffic at namedrive has more than halved this month for no determinable reason.

Thanks

:)

since you never mentioned spec. parking service, i will mention parked.com because it's the one im using, a quick gaze at the tos reveals these wrongful acts:
# searches originating from countries other than those in the Territory;
# "blind links" (i.e., where users do not know where they will be performing a search);
# misleading links in which a user is persuaded to perform a search in order to obtain some other benefit;
# searches from or after 404 or other error messages;
# "exit traffic" (i.e., when the user is presented with search functionality or required to perform a search prior to exiting a Web page);
# searches required of the user in order for the user to do another function, such as leaving a Web page or closing a pop-up window;
# searches performed upon a user hitting the back button or any other elements of the browser;
# searches in pop up windows;
# searches from users who were on adult sites, unless such users actively typed in the URL for the Publisher Offering at issue, all as approved by Yahoo;
# searches originating from countries other than the United States, Canada or other countries as may be approved by Yahoo in writing;
# searches from banner or other advertisements (other than any Banner Advertisements that may be provided under Rider C, if applicable);
# searches from or within an email, unless specifically approved in writing by Yahoo and provided by Yahoo;
# the display, syndication, sublicense or delivery of Yahoo Links or Yahoo Content to any Web site or application or anywhere else other than the Existing Publisher Web Sites, or if applicable, any Publisher's Software Application to which this agreement applies;
# modify or otherwise alter in any way a Paid Placement Search Query or Web Search Query manually entered in a Search Box; or
# the display of content (including but not limited to, pop-up, windows or expanding banners) or permission to display content that may block any portion of a view of the Yahoo links or the Yahoo content.

and it's good that they included what traffic are acceptable.
# Permitted, compensated traffic can originate from two sources only:
# type in (direct navigation) traffic and
# existing search engine results/expired traffic.
all quoted from http://parked.com/tos/
it's better to park a domain with high traffic already coming from type in, seo'd already as it's an old domain or because of plenty of link backs. out of 15 not permitted traffic there are only 2 valid ones accepted that is on parked.com i cannot say anything about other parking services.

I doubt it it, domain parking only works for names with existing traffic, if you want to build traffic up you'll need to develop a site.

This is not allowed in anyway.
The only time you can do marketing is when you develp a website
and place google adsense code (or yahoo, etc) on the page.
(even then you are not allowed visitors to click on the ads)

Maby you could try www.1plus.net their system generates
google adsense parking pages!

Hmm, I have tried it, without any succes at all- never had a single page view as far as I can tell! Pity, cos its a bloody great concept.

Thanks all for putting that straight. Better get to work developing then!

Well, You have to work at the page views.
Its the CTR that depends on the layout of the site.

And ofcourse developing a site yourself is always the best option :)
Goodluck

kind regards,
