    The question is I searched a domain name I have registered in quotemark and it gave million search results in Google. So what does that mean? Does that domain have any value? Will it get any traffic if I park?

    Since you've already registered the domain name, why not park it and see? Then you'll know if it gets traffic or not.

    I have parked the domain but it's not doing a lot, like it get 10 uniques per Day and I didn't get any clicks yet, do you think I should change my parking to some other place

    You're not getting any clicks because there isn't any content on it. You won't make much money from a parked domain unless it has a very strong backlink profile already or is a very high value domain name and even then you won't be getting the most out of it.

    If you have a decent domain and you're not looking to sell it, you'd be better off developing it, sticking it on a blog platform, writing some articles /content and then adding affiliate links.

    Thank you,
    So getting 10 uniques a day to a single domain alone is a good domain to develop a site, is that what you mean?

    Well it's definitely a start, especially if there isn't anything on it currently :)

    You're getting traffic from somewhere, now you just need to engage, convert and grow it.

    Why not do an experiment? Stick it on a blog platform, write 5 articles related to the domain name and see how the traffic grows over the course of a month?

    By the way, those uniques you're getting at the moment might be automated (bots, crawlers). Try putting your domain into a backlink checker like https://ahrefs.com/backlink-checker to see where the traffic might be coming from.

    Content is king. Parking a domain is not going to generate traffic. Not anything worth talking about anyway

    But my domain is a .org, what pet Relate domain, any idea how I can turn this into something, there is no backlinks but it gets little traffic like I said 10- 15 uniques is that a good amount to look for such a domain to develop

    If you’re wanting to develop something that has immediate traffic you should look for a expired domain with plenty of backlinks and in the niche you want to develop in. But you don’t need to do this, you can start with a brand new domain and develop it. It just helps if you have an older domain with previous history. But it can also hinder you. You have to be careful about where the backlinks are coming from etc. it’s a minefield.
