Does Anyone Need ANOTHER Reason To Develop Your Domains?

[gwkg]

There is a new Mozilla Firefox add-on that intents to keep internet users from visiting parked domains. The “Duck Duck Go Toolbar 1.1.4” blocks over 42 million parked websites (listed at ivegotafang.com) and keeps internet users from the advertisements that generate revenue for many domainers.

A block page notifies users who download the toolbar whenever they land on a parked domain and lets them choose to go back, proceed anyway, or search for something else - while also recommending alternative websites (ex. “Did you mean Facebook.com?” instead of Facebbook.com).

If internet service providers follow suit or browsers include this functionality without extensions, this type of tool could create a major hurdle for domainers to overcome and could even affect potential buyers of domains that were parked at one point. The Firefox extension also aims to promote the DuckDuckGo search engine.

I wonder if Google adsense for domains will be affected.

let's wait for this to come pre-loaded into the browsers before we all start squawking

For those of you who are into developing, I suggest you guys start learning PHP =)
its a pretty easy programming language for building sites.

I realized you were playing. I was just jabbing back for fun also.

There was a time when I held all 10 spots on Webcrawler (the dominant search engine at the time, for those who don't remember or were not there). I owned the entire first page. I was able to do this in several categories. All that was required was to have 10 domains in the same niche and then link them together. That SEO trick got me all 10 postions. The concept of SEO did not even exist then. I may be the only person on the planet to have ever done that. :hehe:

That lasted for about three months and they made it harder to do.

I'm intrigued now!!!
