Agreed, however all my domains are not seasonal, traffic should be consistent
personally, I rarely type in a website, maybe 5% of the time, othertimes it's bookmark or via search, especially in age of browser auto completion, chrome, firefox eg.. I thought parking would of been dead years ago..

the only reason I decided to give it a shot is seeing some screenshots of earnings shared by a few guys here, and to try something new.. I'm not expecting huge earnings at all, even breaking even would be OK
Yes, with one of the domains I have registered..I wont post the name since i dont think u can whilst being parked.. but it is like "faceboojk.com". (with similar traffic to facebook) I saw that it had previously been registered and dropped, which I thought was some indicator that whoever had brought it wasn't earning from it- so really i should avoid it..(as you said)
but I just can't understand how more people aren't making typo on a top website like that....other sites are a bit more niche with .cm tld, and never been registered, and they are doing a bit better, but overall performance is pretty bad
