Rules on Parked Domains
Domain Name Selection
Domain parking companies generally have strict rules regarding acceptable domain names. A domain name cannot infringe on a company's trademarks and generally cannot be a misspelling of a real website's name. The domain name also should not contain words that might be considered offensive or illegal.
Fraudulent Clicks
Because domain parking programs generally pay you for each click of an advertisement, you cannot click your own ads. You also cannot ask friends or family to click your ads. The domain parking program earns money when advertisement clicks result in product sales, and product sales only result from people who click advertisements because they want to learn more.
Fraudulent Traffic
You cannot send traffic to a parked domain by linking to it from another website or inserting scripts that cause the parked domain to pop up automatically in a Web browser. The parked domain can generate traffic only through sources such as old links from when the domain previously belonged to a developed website or from visitors typing the domain name manually.
Domain Category
When you park a domain, you provide a general category or list of keywords to the advertising company. This information allows the company to display advertisements that someone visiting the domain might find relevant. Do not select a category or keywords unrelated to the topic of the domain name; doing so may result in your removal from the domain parking program.

How to Find the Best Keywords For Your Blog, Website or Article
1. Write down a list of topics you are knowledgeable about. Even if you don't think that skill or knowledge you possess about a particular subject will be profitable, write it down anyway: you'd be surprised to find how many niche topics are in fact huge money-makers.
2. Go to Google Adword's Keyword Tool. You can find a link to it in the resources. Enter your keyword into the box and hit 'Get keyword ideas'.
3. Typically, a long list of keywords will populate. You're going to want to display three columns; everything else you can hide. Using the drop-down menu, make sure that 'Estimated Avg. CPC', 'Advertiser Competition' and 'Global Monthly Search Volume' are all displayed.
4. Click on 'Estimated Avg. CPC'. It will organize the list by highest earning CPC. CPC stands for 'cost-per-click'. By sorting the list by CPC, you can gain a general idea of how much each word is typically worth: i.e. how much the ads listed on your article or website will earn you per advertisement clicked. (Granted, Google and eHow both take a percentage of that money, so you won't exactly get the full amount shown.)
5. Review your keyword's advertiser competition. To do this, simply mouseover the green/teal bar next to your keyword, and a ranking will pop up. The rankings can vary from 'no advertiser competition' all the way to 'very high advertiser competition'. The best keywords are those who are rated as having anything at or above a high advertiser competition. This means that lots of advertisers are competing for this word, meaning that you will typically have a wealth of high-earning, related ads displayed on your article, website or blog.
6. Lastly, take heed of the global monthly search volume. This will give you some idea of how often people are searching for your word. While many people speak of the importance of making money off of 'niche' topics, don't be afraid of a high search volume: if you advertise your article or website and do proper SEO, you can get to the top of the search engines and -- if you have quality information -- beat out the competition, thus gaining the majority of those ad clicks for yourself. At the same time, however, a high-earning niche topic can definitely be the way to go. At this point, you'd want to size up your competition to decide what is the best route to take.
7. Implement your chosen keywords into your article, website or blog, making sure not to 'over-stuff' them. Whenever using keywords, also make sure that your writing still sounds natural, so as not to alienate readers: it's useless to spend all that time researching keywords only to have no one take the time to read what you've written.

How to Use My Computer to Make Money for Free
Start Monetized Blog
1. Research interesting topics you find interesting. Your topic should also be something of widespread interest: celebrity gossip, home business ideas, home décor, fashion and more. However, you can turn virtually any topic into a successful blog. Some even create blogs dedicated to particular television shows. Find something that interests you.
2. Set up a blog using one of the free blog creation sites like Wordpress or Blogger. You simply set up an account, enter your email address, a user name and password. You can easily choose the layout and appearance of your blog and create posts by merely typing words and hitting the 'Publish' button on your blog dashboard.
3. Get a Google Adsense account and link to your blog. To do this, go to the Google website and click on the 'Adsense' option under the 'More' heading at the top of the page. You will need to choose a user name and password. Once your account is set up, you will need to submit the web address for your site to Google for review. If Google approves your ads, you will receive an email with specific instructions for linking your Adsense account to your blog. Usually this step consists of entering a specific Google-provided code into the 'html' setting. Whenever a vistor comes to your site and clicks on one of the Google ads, you will receive a specific dollar amount that varies per advertisement.
Write On-line Content
4. Research on-line companies that purchase on-line content. Some of the most popular purchasers of on-line content are Associated Content, Demand Studios, Info Barrel, Hub Pages, Helium and FireHow. Some of these sites will provide upfront payments for content submissions, while others will pay depending on how much traffic your content receives.
5. Set up an account with one or two of the on-line content purchasing platforms you researched in Step one. Some on-line content purchasers like Demand Studios require their writers to apply for a position and be accepted before they can receive payment for submissions. Others will let you set up an account, so you simply enter your email address, an account user name and password.
6. Create on-line content. Write articles, reports or short stories on any topic you choose from a list of the content purchaser's available assignments. The more content you create, the more you will make.
Google AdSense Rules
Invalid Clicks and Impressions
Google prohibits any publishers in the AdSense program from manually clicking on their own ads for the sole purpose of increasing ad revenue. This means that publishers can't click on their own ads, encourage others to do so or pay for services that use humans or robots to click on ads for the sole purpose of increasing their revenue. Publishers will not be able to use AdSense on their websites if they engage in invalid practices of this nature.
Prohibited Content--Adult and Gambling
Publishers in the AdSense program must not place AdSense ads on any website with nude photos or videos, adult language, sex toys and products, sexual tips, sexual fetishes or links to any site that has such content. Websites with gambling content, which include those that allow visitors to place bets in exchange for cash or prizes or links to other gambling sites, can't participant in AdSense.
Prohibited Content--Drugs, Violence, Crime and Hate
You can not use AdSense on websites that feature drugs, alcohol, tobacco, legal and illegal prescriptions, drug paraphernalia or herbal drugs. Websites that feature violent and gory content that feature bloodshed, fight scenes and violent accidents can't have AdSense advertising on them. Neither can sites that promote illegal activity such as selling fake IDs, fake passports or Social-Security cards or sites advocating hate groups or exclusion or bias based on race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.
Payment
Google will not issue payment to a publisher until her account has reached a certain payment threshold, which in 2010 was $100. If your account has reached $100 or more at the end of the 30-day billing cycle, Google will pay you by check within 30 days after the billing cycle has ended.
Traffic
Google AdSense discourages the use of traffic-exchange programs and unsolicited emails as a method of increasing traffic to a publisher's website. Although traffic-exchange programs are not prohibited, they are discouraged since they may lead to invalid clicks. Publishers also must not send unsolicited emails (spam) that feature links to sites with AdSense content.
Changing Ads and Prohibited Placement
Publishers may not produce content that is intended to look like Google ads on their website. You must not place Google ads in a floating box which allow ads to hover over a web page, place ads in pop-up windows, enter keywords into IFRAMES to affect ad targeting, put ads into a software application, alter the AdSense code or place ads on a page which produces more than three pop-up windows.
