opinion Does Parking affect your Domain SEO?

onlysndp · Sep 3, 2018

I heard from somewhere that parking makes negative impact for seo. It means the one who buys it later has to deal hard for SEO?
Is this true?

Hypersot · Sep 3, 2018

It depends what kind of parking you are referring to,

if you talk about a sales lander similar to Undeveloped's then no, you won't necessarily lose any seo that has been made on the domain as undeveloped provides both https and a customised description which will get indexed.

if you talk about parking for monetisation from various feeds then yes, any work that has been made on the domain will slowly vanish, domain will slowly get de-indexed from google's index, etc.

Someone that's more experienced in seo will probably give you a better answer though

Thanks for the information.

No any impact.
Just another myth.

if, a domain is parked, gets traffic and earns revenue..... does it really need seo?

prolly not

though, if a new owner uses it for something unrelated to what visitors were previously looking for,
then they ( the new site) would experience lower conversion rate from that existing traffic.

imo….

To another parked domain?
This is prohibited by Google Terms.

No actually, I have this recently bought Domain "Cheapfly8.com" and I wanna sell it. But until I sell I just don't wanna park but rather I wanna use it. I have one Domain with hosting "Besmartass.com", I made one subdomain "Cheapfly8.besmartass.com" and redirected the main domain to it. I managed to make the Sitemap too. I am just curious if I can make my main Domain SEO optimized just by redirecting it to other managed Website.

Too Long to Read!!!

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 4, 2018

And again...
In terms of monetization such redirected traffic is invalid and prohibited by Google.
Soon or later your domain will be banned to show Google Ads.

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 4, 2018

If no any monetization using Google feed - then you may redirect freely.

ebay.com had no traffic. Then it was acquired and used by eBay, Inc. and traffic went through the roof. Do you think it mattered what was on the site before?

Lot of nonsense being posted here.

Also consider:

xynames said:
Google will not allow ads on pages without real content. Parking companies are not using Google AdWords.

xynames said:
If a lot of people are still going straight to a domain, it will still appear very high in Page Rank, parked or not.

Google did not remove parked domains from searches absolutely, rather - it stated that "In most cases, we prefer not to show them" and that was something they said, in passing, seven years ago, who knows whether they still follow it now.

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 4, 2018

> Parking companies are not using Google AdWords.

They use Google AdSense for Domains.

xynames · Sep 4, 2018

No.

The way it works is that a company that wants the ads, uses AdWords. They pay for the PPC. Then the company that wants to place the ads on their domains, uses AdSense - then the AdWords PPC are placed onto the domains.

However, parking companies for their domains do not use any Google ads at all, they have their own system for this sort of thing, which is why I say No - Google ads do not appear on parked pages with no content. (Google Adsense for Domains was retired as a Google product June 27, 2012.)

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 4, 2018

LOL

They all are using Google AdSense XML feed via AdSense API.
+ various ZeroClick networks for Tier2-monetization.

Yes, this program was stopped for individuals.
But it works for parking companies only.

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 4, 2018

More details here: https://developers.google.com/adsense/host/become-a-host

xynames · Sep 4, 2018

"Only websites with over 100,000 daily page views across user pages are eligible to participate in the AdSense Host API program."

There are a lot of assumptions being made, and as someone else posted: "Perhaps they are big enough that they have come to some arrangement with Google. Perhaps they are a premium publisher. Perhaps the ads are not Google ads at all."

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 4, 2018

I already aswered above.
If any additional questions - ask Bodis/ParkingCrew/Voodoo etc. - and they will confirm the same.

Jurgen Wolf · Sep 4, 2018

There is also Yahoo feed.
But it is unpopular, only DomainAdvertising and Skenzo use it.

xynames · Sep 5, 2018

The company I park with says No they do not use Google whatsoever. They bring me a couple hundred a month consistently so evidently Google is no be all or end all.

onlysndp · Sep 5, 2018

Thank you, everyone, for your valuable input. I came to know that parking doesn't matter for a later purpose. As I wrote before that I have redirected my domain to new another subdomain. My question is: if it is possible to optimize SEO for the main domain. That when people search for the Cheapfly8 or similar terms then they see "Cheapfly8.com" rather than "Cheapfly8.besmartass.com". Currently, I see that it is parked with GoDaddy although I removed the parking and I see my Subdomain "Cheapfly8.besmartass.com".

What company?
TheParkingPlace/Redirect???
Yes, they work via ZeroClick model, Google PPC is not used by them.
All others, except Skenzo and DomainAdvertising, are based on AdSense API.

If you'd like to do what I do, hire me to find out what I do! Tipsareaccepted.

Who still doesn't understand English...
This is from my archived conversation of 2015 with Matt (Bodis founder and CEO):

Almost all the tens of thousands of our users with the exception of a handful are on the Google setup. We won't redesign our sign up page now as we are mainly focused on the Google side of monetization.

What sense???
You will not receive any gain, because lack of SEO parameters of your newly created subdomain, so nothing will be inherited.
