Domain Parking Programs To Earn Money

If you have a domain which you aren't using (no Web site there), it might still receive visitors. Like if there was previously a site there, or if the domain has basic keywords. These advertisers specialize in helping to earn money in this situation. You can park your domain with them, and visitors will see a selection of paid text ads (mostly CPC, but some CPA) with you receiving a share of the revenue. Some also act as brokers to promote selling a domain, if you wish.
