This is an excellent idea cfguru - I obviously have no idea what your budget is but I would imagine it would be very expensive to get it going.
There have been some excellent points mentioned here already : ie
"The ability to set your own Page title and meta tags"
"
domainers and customize their own parking pages.
With this type of implementation pages would stop looking as the parking pages you see today"
These are two very important ones, one of which I have already spoke to sedo and namedrive but neither has bothered to try and implement it ???
I think one of the biggest things that 99% of parking companies seem to do a piss poor job at is how these parking pages get indexed by the search engines so poorly (This "may" be a deliberate move on the part of the search engines ???).
I have made a "quick" attempt to make my own parking page for a couple of my domains
(just one page) - The result was one of them ended up number 5 in Google for the three keywords in my domain -
dubai luxury property and the other is number 27 in google for the two keywords which are - dubai timeshares (out of 175,000 results)
This page is still there and can be seen at dubaitimeshares_c o m
I fail to see why parking pages do so poorly with search engines (unless as stated it is deliberate).
I think with self customisable page titles - meta tags and an area where you can put in some related keyword rich text far better results would be achieved.
Can you imagine how much more everyone would be making if we could get our parked pages within the first 100 results of a search.
why do the direct type in names have to be the only ones generating the majority of clicks ?
This idea of your sounds great and I will be following this thread to see how you get on with it, best of luck
