Drastic changes in Domain Parking ?

[Mark]

In the past month alone :

Google Adsense for Domains drops it's adult Feeds Many Parking companies were utilizing this feed (We'll assume google just wants to distance themselves from the adult area) -


ParkedNames.com Closes down Over Yahoo asking for most "Users" accounts to be pulled from the system (Over Traffic Quality) -


Trafficz has lost it's Skenzo Feed now (Reasons Unknown yet) -​

Even though We haven't been told why Skenzo pulled their feed yet - I'd almost bet it has something to do with Traffic Quality as well.

These Parking companies were/are somewhat "Picky" over portfolios (Maybe not as picky as others) from what I had seen , How could so much traffic be considered "Junk" ?


Any thoughts or Comments ? I'm almost speechless this is all happening so close together ...

I truly think it's a dying market, generalized domain parking is worthless imo, networking minisites is a better solution, atleast you can put your name in your sig here, without having to worry about BS, pure typin traffic is not a common thing for DN's that haven't been heavily indexed and carry a good past history of several years being active, so the whole "only typin traffic" crap doesn't produce results for the parker, or the advertiser for that matter, if i was able to pick up "google.com" i would get a ton of typin traffic at first, but once the folks saw it isn't the google they used to frequent, the traffic would die down, i don't know the exact solution, but i think DN parking is failing miserably.

Howdy -X-

I tried to avoid parking for the last year or so , But I am old and slow at Development - I had to go back at least temporarily ....

I'm finishing a script for myself ATM to eliminate it again - Might not be pretty , But at least it will be my own feed(s).

The solution is clear: why don't a bunch of NP-ers get together and start their own parking company?

Add to this the overall secrecy of how parking companies even pay out and you have the makings of a scheme and a scam. Several have had their Parked.com accounts closed on them (the day of payday...quite coincidental). I had all traffic and clicks erased by Parked as their downstream advertisers refused to pay. WTF???

So their downstream advertisers still get traffic and clicks for FREE if they are refusing to pay Parked. Yet Parked is taking them at their word (wink wink) and canceling clicks and revenue but blaming it on their downstream adverstisers refusing to pay...yet they (the advertisers) are still with Parked.

Can anyone make sense out of the most senseless industry there has got to be? NO regulations, NO monitoring, NO transparency, NO validation to any and all claims they make.

I tottally agree with you, Circa1850. Already lost my faith on them.

It also looks like MSN has put a block on sedos parking pages and I can't seem to get mine listed in Google either :td:

That does'nt help parking much either.....

This industry really keeps you on your toes. Seems like what was coming is finally here.

Hopefully all the filtering out of TM typos etc and poor traffic will lead to better performance for quality generic typeins.
