People do not usually type in hyphens. For example, they usually type UsedCar.com instead of Used-Car.com. I am actually running a case study which tends to show that people more often try other extensions, such as .net, before trying a hyphen.
Because of this, if you want natural traffic, you're only viable option is to rank in search engines for that term. The best way to do this, obviously, is to build a site at that domain. If you do this, be sure to use a good keyword density and generate natural incoming links.
Other options which I DO NOT recommend (because they generally break ppc and parking TOS, but hey, try them if you want lol) are link spamming and
buying traffic.
Remember though, parking is a way of monetizing a domain whilst you wait to sell it. Don't waste your time incrasing your parking revenue. Do something productive. Think about the long term. If you are building a website there, then that can grow and you can profit.
If you want to just sell the domain for a profit, then be sure to sell it based on the popularity of the keywords, and not on the traffic or a multiple of the parking revenue.
Hope that helped you,
Zach
