Can I park my website only on Sunday?

[ustadogan]

Hi

I want to learn that;

my website has about 400 unique visitors / a day can i close my website on sunday and parking to google adsense for domain program?

so i can make some money.

what adsense say about that?

haha, that's interesting, i suppose you could, but it wouldn't probably make much and the DNS resolving every week would probably not be perfect in making your site close down for just like 1 day.

my domains on godaddy so can be fastly DNS changing i think. and i do that manually (hard to work)

my question is sedo or afd accept that?

HI

Why would you only want to park it on Sundays.. what do you do with the site on the other days..

i dont think that is a good idea they even give DNS resolving 24-48 hours.

The DNS is slow sometimes. Apart from that, it looks funny, as it seems like you treat it like a shop that you keep closed on Sundays and open during the rest of the week

It's one of the silliest ideas I ever heard, but I doubt there's any rule against it. You'll ruin your site in the search engines, but whatever.

You'll ruin your site in the search engines, but whatever.

You're right. One of the factors that positively affect SEO is the amount of time a website has been being online for. If you weekly remove and then restore it, your website will always be seen as 'new' by search engines.

 

[netmeg]

It's not even that. If Google or Yahoo comes by to spider your site while it's parked, you'll lose whatever gains you have. If you put it in AdSense for Domains, it'll go out of the index completely (NOINDEX and NOFOLLOW on AFD domains) You'll always be playing catchup to keep it in the index. No, I can't think of a single reason why anyone would want to do such a thing.

netmeg thanks for your warnings.

and so if i do that my google and yahoo indexes are down .

Well im not really sure what kind of site you are running but if the site is for a business, look at it this way... You are asking us how to make your site run at ~86.6% uptime each month. Any site doing business online with ~86.6% uptime every month is bad news since most sites aim to reach 99.9% or higher uptime each month. Is your decision of doing this related to a spike in visitors every Sunday?

Gosh darn it, look at the clues. Increase in visitors every Sunday. Site wanting to go offline on Sunday... (perhaps to honor the sabbath?). I am guessing you are running a website for a church. Tell me if im right.

Technically this can be done very easy with a simple php script at the top of your index file.

something like
<?php
if (date(l) == 'saturday'){
header ("Location: http://sedoparking.com/yourdomain.com");
}
?>

But this would ruin your search engine rankings

edit:
There is a grey hat way to do it.
There is some scripts called doorway scripts(google it), that can let the search engines see your original site and redirect everyone else to somewhere else. activate this script only on Saturdays and you got what you want.

But anything grey/black hat I would not recomend in the long run....

hpersson thanks for that little code

hpersson thanks for that little code

No problem, just remember that if google stop by while you har redirected the domain, you might be screwed.

My 2 cents
