In my recent post how to make money with Google Adsense for feeds, I said I would do a review on Google adsense for domains and in summary this involves registering a domain name, parking it with Google and getting paid for type-in traffic.

What Adsense for Domains really is
Unlike Adsense for feeds(which is basically about adverts designed to be displayed on feeds alone), adsense for content(designed to be displayed on website content), Google adsense for domains is meant for domains and domains only. It is a kind of ad mechanism that works only for domain names parked with Google.

How to start making money with Adsense for Domains
To get started, you would first of all need an adsense account and then a means of making online payment in order to be able to register domains so in all, you will need;

- A Google Adsense account
- A domain name
- Technical expertise for parking domains

There also seems to be a fourth necessity which is more about having a good eye for buying domains which are more likely to earn you any income and it is mostly about doing "Domain Research".
Domain research involves being able to research and make a good decision in registering a viable domain name for adsense. Not all domains registered by people will eventually make any money and so being able to speculate and decide on successful domains is also a helpful tool in this kind of online business.

Google adsense account
If you are already reading this blog post, I believe you already have a domain name but if you don't then you should register at google.com/adsense. After registration, you can start getting used to the tools from within your Google adsense account. Google adsense account offers you a variety of platforms to make money from such as:

- Adsense for content
- Adsense for search
- Adsense for Domains
- Adsense for Feeds
- Adsense for mobile

Adsense for Domains is quite different from the others and it has its own benefits which includes:
- No need for web hosting
- No need to put in more work in creating content
- A one time effort which involves domain parking is sufficient for recurring income
- Cheaper to setup

To start using adsense for domains as mentioned, you just need to register a domain name and park it to your Goologle adsense account and you're done. No need to promote it, no need to do any other thing and even doing any other thing could be against the terms of service

Domain research for Adsense for Domains
Althought most people, especially many internet marketers and those too eager to make millions from adsense tend to go against Google adsense TOS by promoting their domain name, this is actually not a good idean and a cool way of setting up a domain parking business with Google. Big G definitely knoes more than you and you don't have to start doing what you should have done at the first instant. If you are interested in promoting your domain name for adsense, you should do it before rather than after. Domain researching is about doing the promotion or investment into a worthy domain rather than later.
It involves having an eye for profitable domain names. You should be able to analyze what domain urls people are constantly typing into address bars of browsers. It is also about selecting a domain name based on most highly searched keywords.
For instance, if people in you area are constantly searching for "Schools in London", then why not register a domain name that says he same - schoolsinlondon.com or even londonschools.com?
For me, there are two ways you could identify and select a domain name for adsense:
1. Based on Keywords
2. Based on popular domains

Registering a Domain name and parking it to Google adsense account
This should be the last thing you should do after doing a domain research. Just go to any of your friendly domain register like Netfirms, Godaddy, Aplus or Yahoo and register the domain name you have decided on. Don't register it for more than 1 year since you are not yet sure if Google will approve it, it will be profitable and besides it would be cheaper for that first year if it is a new registration. New domains can go as low as $6.95 at some registrars while renewing it could be as high as $12 per year.

So in this context, you should
- Register the domain name you have decided on
- Park it to Google selecting the right keywords
- Analyze your monthly earnings

Benefits of Using Google adsense for domains
Unlike most other Google adsense platforms, the one for domains allows you to start making money, even if it is in pennies from the very first day. There is no need for search engine traffic but peopel just go to your site by typing it in the address bar.
Secondly, you stand a chance to make more income than you spent on the domain. You may not make millions in the first year but you could make $5 a month making up to about $60 a year for a domain you only spent about $10 to set up.

When to boot out a domain from your domain list
If you are a good domain researcher with technical expertise, you will probably succeed in your domain business since at least 70 percent of the domains will be profitable but at the end of the year, before making a domain renewal, you should be analyze which domains are profitable and which of them are not. Some domains will definitely not be able to earn any income for you so the best thing is to boot them out. If a domain name doesn't earn at least $10 a year from a domain name, you should just boot it out. In setting up domains for adsense, make sure that you set up channels in order to trace how much each domain was bringing to you on a periodic basis. So there would be no need to renew domains or keep parking domains that are not profitable for your domain business. You may only renew it if you are planning to use it for something else. Some domains may be profitable for other venture rather than adsense for domains so at the end of the year, you should be able to do a re-appraisal to see the need to keep holding on to domain names.

Tips for being profitable with Adsense for Domains
- Register only .com domains
- Register domains based on popular keywords
- Register domains based on hot trends
- Create domain channels
- Register domains mistypos for popular urls
- Never promote your domain name
