Begin by setting up your CashParking account. Then, you specify the payee information and keywords you want to use. You can set up a payee account at any time; however, you must set one up before you can receive revenue from CashParking.

You can add keywords to your CashParking domains to optimize the advertisements that are shown for your domain. When specifying keywords, make sure to use keywords that relate to your domain name, and avoid using trademarked words.
