Losing rank on parking domains

[Premiere]

For a while I noticed a trend - that well-written pages would gain rank over a period of time even though they were parked. In this instance I am talking about the sites that allow you to customize your title, meta description, keywords, etc - such as Parked.com.

In the past few days, I lost two sites that were ranked. Both were about #5 in SERPs but now suddenly vanished off the charts. I had to rescue one last week - DivorceDocuments.com - but the other one TieredCakeStands.com I just noticed today. Either way, the divorce documents site I wrote google for reconsideration and its seems to be getting re-indexed but its as if all my banklinks vanished. I am way back in serps now.

Each one was ranked for its exact keywords and produced revenue. I knew this was a possibility with parking based on Google's statements but I hadn't had a negative experience until now. Anyone else experiencing the same issue on some sites recently?

I've had sites both parked and developed that will "dissapear" from the SERP's only to come back a few days later. I find this to be more common with Google. I had one site that was number 3 or 4 depending on the day, then it vanished from G only to come back number one and there it still is two months later....

I've had many domains deindexed although they were indexed all this while...reason being - they were parked.

Wow that is a strange result.

If the Internet community ie Webmasters and Domainers decided to throw everything at Yahoo instead of Google, Within weeks Google would be asking what would you like us to do? While everyone allows them to, they will tell you what you have to do. At the end of the day it is individual love of money above everything else that allows google to dictate on the internet. DIVIDE AND CONQUER.

What you need to really understand here is that nobody but you wants parked domains in the search engines (any search engine) and coming up as a result of a search.

The searchers don't want them - they want information, not ads; if they wanted ads, they'd click on contextual ads along the side.

The webmasters don't want them, because they don't want parked domains supplanting their own sites in the SERPs.

The advertisers don't want them because most of them don't convert, and they believe they are inherently a form of click fraud.

The search engines don't want them because all those other people don't want them, and that makes them a poor user experience on all sides.

If you have parked domains (even ones with content) coming up for searches, you're lucky - enjoy it while it lasts, because it probably won't last forever. A few do get through; I've had parked domains with pagerank even. But both Google and Yahoo are on record that they don't want parked domains coming up as search results, and they've both made significant changes over the past year to reduce the number of parked domains that do. And they'll no doubt keep tweaking until *none* do.
