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 ...

It didnt take long for Goooooooooooooooooogle to change their minds .... Adult Feeds were never dropped - and wont be it seems.

Post Tease ! - I was warned about you

Pardon me but I thought google adsense didn't deal with the adult industry? Or are you talking about some other google program? Now where's the dumb looking smilie? Hmmm I'll just use this one: :cy:

Hehe, sorry i never meant it that way, nor because I was trying to temp you with secrets of the parking inner circle. Heaven knows, any info that we, as the ones with relationships with G and Y learn about is soon leaked and discussed anyway.

My point about MS was simply thus.

Domain Parking is a $2bn industry annualised. MS are known to be looking with envious eyes upon the adsense/adwords/Ypn programs. Their browser is still used by the majority of interent users worldwide..

So, what move do they make? Enter the market with a bang or adapt IE8 to block all parked domains? Both options are at their mercy.

Well, it sure looks to me like they have started to do it with their search engine, it would'nt take much to do it with all the parking companies and would probably be done by blocking the nameservers used. If there is only a dozen or two it won't take long to do.

If they are prepared to do that then I think there is a very good chance you are right and they will be planning it for their browser too.

What's next ? If anyone types in a known parking page it is diverted to a relevant PPC page owned by MSN ???

hmmmmm

I think that would be a problem - people want to go where they type in and diverting them could be cause for a civil suit.

However diverting requests for non-existant pages to their own search would be kosher.

It's what the parking Companies using Google feeds are using.

If they're envious about adsense/adwords/Ypn programs and the $2bn domain parking industry, wouldn't they come up with a product to tap into it?

Surely, blocking all parked domains would just 'kill' the industry (in terms of parking) and make them even more enemies, instead of trying to get a slice of the pie. Or is it piece of the cake.
