Google says parking is dead

[buyresaledomains]

"New “parked domain” classifier: This is a new algorithm for automatically detecting parked domains. Parked domains are placeholder sites that are seldom useful and often filled with ads. They typically don’t have valuable content for our users, so in most cases we prefer not to show them."

I'd post a link but I suck still apparently. So this makes my decision clear. I'm going to host them myself.

The only question remaining is how do I replicate the targeted ads on my page??? Adsense only allows 3 add blocks. One if it's the big one. What are some other sources of click to pay ads that do NOT require you to have strong page rank?

 

[zaki.ahmed]

this info is for indexed pages on google. if i am correct

if you have good backlinks then parking is not dead...

 

[buyresaledomains]

Ok. Parking is dead to google. You have to have pretty killer back links to equal to 200,000 exact match search terms.

You can also sign up with plces like Amazon and Clickbank if you haven't done that already - but you still need traffic to make any money

Parking is not dead. Google is the biggest feed provider for PPC companies.

But parked domains aren't going to rank in google, if at all. Parking relies on type-in, not SEO.

You can't have it both ways. Either you develop domains and rank them, or your park domains with no contents.

What you are trying to do is to SEO pages with ads only and no meaningful contents.
Google will keep you out of the index or kick you out when they find out.

Search engines don't want parked domains ranking high in search results, people who use search engines are looking for information, not sponsored links.

On my way!

"Type-in"? So the only traffic comes from some one typing in "hotelsinsandiego.com" in the URL bar?

Getting a clear answer on this is difficult. You see the quoted paragraph above from google. Says they won't show parked pages. But then you all say parking is not dead. Aside from back links then how do you get traffic to your not dead parked page then?

 

[Donny]

Yes. That's what people do is type domains in the url bar.

Google does index parking pages though, they just don't always rank very high.

[buyresaledomains]

Yes they are indexed. But google can now tell what and what is not a parked page. In goggles own words they will not show parked pages anymore.

Type the random domain in the address bar. Who the heck does that

 

[Donny]

Let's see, it happens in my world more than a million times a day. Actually a lot more, but I'm just trying to prove a point.

Google can tell what is a parked page and what isn't. But there are some tricks that if parking companies really wanted to be indexed they could be indexed out the wazoo. In my previous life I had every domain with at least 10k pages indexed. And there wasn't anything Googlebot or Bing's bot could do about it. They just look for certain pieces of information on a page and if they see it then they know certain things.

The problem is Matt Cutts has decided that pages with nothing but ads on them is not what he wants to show up on the top of the search engine. And you know what I agree with him. But that doesn't mean that parking is dead. It just means that you found something that was posted December 1, 2011, http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2011/12/search-quality-highlights-new-monthly.html

If parking was dead because of this wouldn't it had been dead 14 months ago?

You don't.

In fact the TOS forbid driving artificial traffic to parked pages.
You need domains that are parking-worthy.

Omg. I'll say it slow. Then-how-does-your-parked-page-get-traffic? Without traffic there is know one to click links.

Ok I finally found my answer.

"Parking is for domains that have pre-existing traffic (normally through direct navigation). This normally means generic dot com’s and generic ccTLDs, typos, and domains that were once websites."

Hello !

Not really. A lot of parked domains which get traffic were never websites (likely the majority were not sites) but get typein traffic because people typein the keywords and tld extension and phrases into either the address bar window or search-box expecting to see a relevant site or content.

 

[zaki.ahmed]

In Fact People are Dead.
Even if they want to visit Yahoo.
They feel it hard to type yahoodotcom in browser and end up typeing in google and from there they go to yahoo.

This has reduced considerable amount of type in.
and also thnks to new browser technology .Chrome.. Mozilla.
where a domain name typed in address bar redirects to google search from where the correct website is obtained..

After reading this strait from the horses mouth (ie google)...

"New parked domain classifier: This is a new algorithm for automatically detecting parked domains. Parked domains are placeholder sites that are seldom useful and often filled with ads. They typically don't have valuable content for our users, so in most cases we prefer not to show them."

DID YOU HEAR THAT??? And then this from another domain forum about parking...

"Parking is for domains that have pre-existing traffic (normally through direct navigation). This normally means generic dot com's and generic ccTLDs, typos, and domains that were once websites."

So... until now I was frozen with indecision. I wanted to park my domains but didn't fully understand its structure. Now I do. Setting up self hosted domains is a bit of a pain. It's like a six or seven step process. On 3 or 4 domains over the years this is no big deal. But if you had to did this on many domains in a short time period it would def be a pain. So I am now in search of a parking or other biz where I can list my domain in a few clicks and yet have full control (or at least partial) of its content.

One such company I have found is seoparking.com. You can add your own scripts, adsense, and etc. and it auto populates new content daily to your blog type parked page. According to them google can't see that it's a parked page and therefor displays it in the searches. From reading I believe they also put paid links on the page to pay for their needs. The advertising that you place on the page you receive 100% of its revenue. This seems definitely worth testing. If it doesn't pan out then I will host them myself. Because I am not going to be like most that park their page and get a couple visitors and a couple cents a month. Bottom line is, if I can make more than $10 (actually $1.99 with coupon code) a year off the domain then I am turning a profit. I just need to figure out the best route to take. Originally I was under the impression I would just buy cool names and sell them. But you guys have convinced me that is a pipe dream. So along with my pipe dream I am going to nail down this parking revenue. Sorry I do not trust buying a domain on just back links alone. That s not full proof.

I have found a couple choice domains already for this. I want to take a "exact name search" in google that gets minimum 200,000 searches monthly and purchase this domain. Lets say 200,000 people search for "laser tag in LA". So my domain would be "lasertaginla.com". If I seo correctly this site would come up #1 in the results for said search. 53% of users would click on the link. And it would probably get anywhere from $20 to $100 revenue each month from targeted ads. Say you have 50 of these domains. Well now your looking at a nice monthly profit. All from a small $10 bucks a year investment for the domain.

So my question is along with my rant it... Anyone accomplish this task? If so, care to help share you experiences so I can learn from them?

Let me preface this point by saying I do not use SEOparking.com and have not looked at their pages; however, history is filled with stories of companies and groups and software churning out "Google friendly" pages that eventually all got deindexed. Google is pretty ruthless about it, actually. So I'd take their claims of Google "not being able to see" with a grain of salt, and have a Plan B in the wings before you need it, not when you need it.

:talk:

seems like all of the OP's threads are filled with sense of inabilty to comprehend....despite numerous efforts to interpret how parking and web traffic works..

the fact that type in traffic is NOT dependent on a Google search, seems to elude this one.

google only pays the revenue tha'st earned from visitors clicking on parked pages, if that ppc uses a google feed..

Note; google may or may not do everything it says it will do, nor will they always enforce or monitor any changes they say they made.
as long as they make money from something, they will keep doing it


as i have domains which are indexed, that also have been parked for years

It's true, those so-called parking-friendly solutions are another dream imo and they aren't sustainable really. Many have come and gone.
http://domainnamewire.com/2008/06/23/domain-embarking-loses-google-adsense-feed/

The problem is that domainers want the benefits of developed websites (SEO) and the benefits of parking (no effort). That doesn't work.

The bottom line is that if you want to rank a website, you need fresh and quality contents plus backlinks. Everybody can set up a crappy mfa website but you still won't get a lot of traffic if you have nothing valuable to offer to visitors. You'll still get peanuts.

Forget parking, develop a real website and put adsense on it. Or affiliate links.
Keep expectations realistic though.
Few people make a living from parking, with adsense it's not much different. But at least you can drive traffic to your site.
