Is Domain Parking a fair means of Making Money?

The web money making community is ever expanding, with creative minds coming up with new, effective methods to improve advertising and trafficking, and consequently, increasing money making revenue. It must be admitted, that some of us come up with better solutions than others. However, sometimes, we need to step back and review whether our solutions fall within ethical criterion.

Domain parking is to register a domain, without placing any content on it, i.e., without developing it. This may be done for various reasons, for example, preserving a domain name for future use, preventing cybersqatting, etc.

A new trend is now being promoted: the monetization of parked domains. For domain owners who need to maintain ownership of their domain, perhaps this is not such a bad idea. While a page full of advertisements may be uninviting to a web surfer, it is perhaps better than a "page not available" error, and PPC will help pay the cost of maintaining the domain name.

However this idea, as any other positive idea, has begun to be misused, now that it is on the table. It is gaining popularity as a "make money without ANY effort" technique [that sucks right there] that actually works. So we have lots of people registering domains and leaving them undeveloped on purpose to fill them with nothing but advertisements that are in reality quite frustrating to the average user, who is browsing the web for useful information.

I believe if a domain owner really needs to maintain ownership rights, making the website relatively profitable should be a personal, not commercial, effort, to which he has every right; registration for the sole purpose of domain parking and earning 'easy money' seems undesirable and unethical.
Do you think such "monetized" domain parking should be stopped? If yes, how? and if not, why not?

Design your own signature outfit

All it takes is a little creative effort to design an outfit that says who you are. The way we dress is an important statement of our personality. While a neat and friendly outlook create a positive effect on the people we interact with, a unique touch in your outfit can often bias people with appreciation for your creativity and individuality. Here I will give you some ideas on how you can add a personal touch to your wardrobe.

• Many of us have a rich cultural background, and love it. If you want to flaunt your traditions, well do it! Its great to break away from the usual and do something new! To wear something not many people around you do. You can add flavour to these traditional dresses by mixing them with modern ideas. A classic example is the use of embroidered kurtis with fashionable pants in Pakistan.

• If you're feeling adventurous, you can add something from an entirely different culture, and mold it to your own taste. Examples are Kaftans embellished with stones, or a doch embroidered scarf or shawl on top of tie-and-die top and plain trousers. 

• Something I love to do is hand paint my casual dresses with my own designs, using fabric paints. It gives me more freedom to create diverse designs. Inspiration can be from everyday life, abstracts and patterns, or traditional designs--and that's up to you! You can even create a signature pattern that you can weave into all your designs. Mine manages to find its way into almost all my designs. Yours will too, if it really defines your taste and you love it. 

• Similarly, you can stitch peices of different colours, prints, embroideries, etc, in varying patterns across the front of your dress, around the neckline, sleeves, etc.

• Artistic use of laces (crochet, gota-kinari, cutwork, etc) can add uniqueness to the plain old edge of a dress and make a fashion statement!

Of course every time you create, it will be something new, something different. Yet you will find a similarity in all your work, a certain pattern, or simply just one style or design you really love to wear and recreate. It's because your creative work reflects your soul. Very soon, you too will discover your signature style!
