I agree with you, actually. I just said it's not for me and I supplied some supporting documentation. Other folks may find it to be quite a profitable enterprise... just not me.

Domain parking has its faults and is losing lustre with each passing year but really good generic domain names are still making their owners good money (that is hundreds to thousands of dollars a day unlike your foolish example of a dollar per 100,000 domain names which would be a huge loss when you factor in renewal fees.) And to base your opinion on dabbling in domain waters with really bad domain names that a real domainer would never bother to own let alone park is another mistake. If anything, and any domainer would tell you, you'd have a better possibility of monetizing and/or flipping your domain by developing it. Only certain types of generic domain names do well while being parked and navyvets.com is not one of them. It is better to compare apples to apples instead of comparing apples to broccoli.

Cons of domain parking is that you earn only 30% of your potential and that you're not building the age factor for your domains. Douglas, thank you for this discussion. A small advice, if you don't mind: change your registrar. I never pay more than $8 to $9 for renewals. $14.95 is way too high, way too high!!! You could easily be saving $6 on each domain name. Sounds like beans for one domain but give it a quick calculation if you got, say, 100 or 1000 domain names... Many domainers are throwing new cars and luxury holidays at their expensive registrars :( Domain parking is for lazy people who cannot get to making automated microsites for their domain names.

The software does not work as described and there is no support. If you don't mind parting with $99 go ahead and do it...your product will not work properly and will never hear anything from the Zaar Scam man again. Scam City.

Oh dear. What a waste of money. Specifically my money, my $100. Thomas - or whatever his name is - was very helpful in exchanging emails when I was trying to pay BUT after downloading ..... hello anybody home??? Many emails both direct and through their website contact form. Nothing! No reply. What a bummer! This script is IMHO a waste of $100. There are free scripts available that actually work. Don't waste your hard earned money sending it to domainzaar. Can’t resist commenting here about domainzaar.

I had a decent domain name (bas3.com) and installed the domainzaar software on it, the next week, someone had hijacked my DNS and was pointing it to his website. DZ keeps the admin password in plaintext in a accessible text file. I asked te programmer to fix this, waited 2 months then dropped it. I'm now working to get a hosted solution for domain parking up, which can rapidly deploy a keyword based 5 page site within a minute or so, I'm thinking of how to charge for it, should I take % off the top? should i have a yearly fee for a limited number of domains? should i allow to have it as a downloadable product? these are things i ahve to ask myself, the coder is getting familiar with webapps aPI's availible all over the net, I just need to design and market it.

Find a 100 of this type of domain and you can generate a good income If a domain name is generating more revenue than the reg fee it is surely worth parking it.
