i'm wondering abt the mechanics of this.
1) when you sign up for domain parking, do you still have access to the account? (ftp mainly)
2) if i parked it, would i be able to host a blog on it, possibly in a /wordpress/ directory?
( i guess it might be difficult to have access to a mySQL database)
in this way, the domain could earn 2 sources of income.
Thanks

Generally when you park a domain, you do not have access to FTP, or any upload interface. You just point your domain nameservers to the parking partner, and they display ads that are relevant to the domain keywords, using their templates.
If you want to build a site and have the benifits of parking, you should just host it at a normal host and integrate PPC in it like adsense or YPN (I know that this is what you are already doing on your sites, and it's the best thing you could do if you want to develop your domains).
