I asked the question under the advertising and promotion group only to notice that perhaps the domaining group might have been more appropriate.

But since no one has answered there I thought maybe I would try here. (If this is wrong please feel free to delete this post)

I was under the impression that it was against an aggregators tos to promote your domain but recently read a post where someone said that is exactly what they did. It would be helpful, even getting some linkbacks and directory listings could increase traffic.

Just wondering if anyone has anyways that they maximize their parked domains.

It's against most aggregators TOSs. I'd read very carefully before trying it if you care at all about staying with your current one.

I checked at Sedo and this is the only information that I could find related to driving traffic to a parked domain.

Domain owner may not re-direct traffic to their parked domain name. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, traffic redirected from other domain names, traffic originating from advertising and purchased traffic such as pop-under or exit traffic. Each domain name must be parked separately.

Domain owner may not display their parked page as a pop-under or pop-up window without prior written approval from Sedo.

Domain owner may not generate traffic to their domain name(s) or clicks on advertising links by any of the following methods: listings on newsgroups or discussion boards (with the exception of "domain for sale" postings), bulk emailing, ICQ postings, or chat room/IRC postings, iframes, zero pixel frames, hitbots, clickbots, spiders, CGI scripts, java-scripts, or any other similar method.

I could find nothing about promoting parked domains, but I would check with your individual aggregator.
