I definately agree. A developed site can bring in a good amount of money.
If you ae getting money from parking, then developing your site will, in most cases bring in more. Figure out what your visitors are looking for and build your site around that.
By developing your name, you gain more control over your visitors. You enter a completely different world, where you have more options for monetization. Whereas in a parked site you can not encourage visitors (because it is against most terms of service agreements), you can use Search Engine Optimisation and paid advertising on developed sites.
More importantly, you actually make your site into a resource... that is, you turn it into a fake page which exists soley to make money into something that visitors are looking for.
I continuously develop my portfolio of parked names into developed names. As for the money, it depends on the niche. One site brings in about $260 a month on adsense. Without development it would bring in less than $1 a month. Another site brings in hundreds more, and again, without development, would be worth nothing or very little.
