How anyone makes money on parked websites is way boyond me. Does anyone ever spend anything based on parked websites? I am sure google won't put ads on those sites. And really any ad service worth its salt should not pay anything for displaying ads on parked websites. (As those sites merely serve to annoy ppl). Yet somehow they make money.

Not only do they, but they have an entire scheme just for it:

Actually, parked domains convert really well.

Typosquatters and the like, yes, they're annoying, but that's not what we're talking about here. Most of these are vaguely generic domains or things that people are typing in because they assume there will be something useful on them. A well parked domain then directs them off to where they actually want to be (and makes some money in the process).

Don't forget, you only need to earn two cents per day to make a profit.
