You can not promote parked domains with link traffic.

Parking companies only want natural traffic. ie. type-ins, organic searches, adwords.

even reps from parking co's have told me they have no problem listing a parked site on a directory.......

Not to mention any legitimate web directory wouldn't accept a parked domain.

Dude - smoking pot is also illegal, yet I know people who still smoke. I was giving you the head's up, especially in light of Parked.com's recent email about arbitrage and links. Do what you want, but why would you want your business domain name to be a parked page anyway?

From Donny the other day:

"Dear Parked.com customers,

We were notified today by Yahoo that all Yahoo based parking companies, including Parked.com, must begin enforcing the no arbitrage/no paid traffic general provision. As a reminder, Section 2 Subsection g. in the Parked.com Terms of Service states:

"All other types of traffic including bought traffic, traffic driven by PPC campaigns, traffic directed from hyperlinks are not permitted. If your traffic originates from any sources other than type-in and search engine traffic, you will not be entitled to payment as per this Agreement. Regular checks are carried out and we reserve the right to suspend any domain from our Service at any time, on our sole discretion, if we reasonably believe that you have violated this Agreement; for example, if we suspect that the traffic on your domain is bought, generated or redirected in any way that contravenes these terms and conditions." ...etc
