Why does Google De-Index Parked Domains ?

[mrstealth99]

So I was going through a few of my parked domains this past week and realized that google had de-indexed several of them. These domains have been parked with a major parking company the whole time so am not sure why they would just de-index them.

My question is - why does google do this ? And, can we appeal the de-indexing ?

thanks in advance

Because they realize your parked website is offering their search engine nothing of value.

They claim it offers no value. Yet they are the ones providing the ads for the parking pages. I know...crazy right?

In fact the whole idea of someone or an organisation decides what is a worthy or a valuable webpage or vice a versa is crazy to me - content is only one part of this business, the other side of it is advertising and if an individual likes an ad and he or she wants to click on it, what can be wrong with it and why should it matter where that ad is placed on?!

Advertisers are only concerned with selling their products, why should they bother with all other side issues? It's like saying I don't want my product being advertised in Somalia because they may be less educated, despite all the buyers that may exist over there !!!

All parking pages are de-indexed. Think about it. If you search for something do you really want to weed through all of the parking pages to find the information you're looking for? I don't.

I don't ever recall a parked page ever satisfying one of my searches, basically what Hannah said.

This is another way of looking at it:

If I am looking for some incredible piece of free software, what should I care what appears at the background if what I am looking for is offered by the ad which appears on a parked page?!

That's a very narrow situation. Ads/parking pages only benefit those looking to buy a product or service.

For instance if I search sometihng related to health insurance statistics I don't what to go through a ton of parking pages that include the keywords "health insurance" and ads to buy health insurance. I'm looking for information.

On the other hand the parked page could offer you the best link option, theoretically.

Let's just ban all the parking companies in that case. How about that?!!!!!!

Everything that Google does is all hypocritical.

 

[JB Lions]

No, the goal is to serve up the most relevant results for any given search and that's not going to be some parked page. People want what they searched for, not more links.

Only for typed-in traffic.

If you type the domain name directly onto your browser, it means you deliberately want to go there.... evenif it's just a domain that contains nothing but ads.

But for someone using the "Search" feature on Google, Google will "de-index" parked domains because they are "interfering" with their "exact search term" algorithm (i think). Meaning, a parked domain that contains nothing but ads, that should be buried 3,000 pages down the search results order, might suddenly become a Top-10 site simply because it is an exact keyword domain.

In fact it's not entirely true that Goolge would deindex parked domains.

All my domain names are hand-regged and they're all indexed within a week of registration. I can prove this to anyone who's prepared to bet against it. I am talking real bets here so money where mouth is situation here!

However, some parked domains may get deindex as a result of something which may have been done by the parking company - this has actually happened to a few of my own domains which were parked at BenPark at the time and I was really angry with them when I found out and still am, because Google will not reindex them now despite having been moved elsewhere.

So what parking company is that?

"BenPark" as I said in the previous post.

Edit: The correct spelling is "Benepark"

Hi

"all" parking pages "have not" lost their listing, or/nor have they been (de-indexed) in google.

doing a random check of some of my parked names while posting this, all are still listed in google, even some .nl and .info extensions.



still, some loose their rank because the owner may be forcing keywords on a name where there is no obvious relationship between the two.


others may loose listing because their domain can't pull enough advertisers in relationship to "adword" advertisrs for the domains' keyword.


if your ppc has "quality" score, that too may affect listing.

there are many other variables....

but basically, if you park, then you shouldn't be dependant/dependent on SE traffic.

when your name gets dropped, just build a mini with content and keep moving.

 

[ibidu]

Not only they don't lose their indexation, but there are more posts on NP site claiming that their own single created parked page has got up to pagerank 2 as a result of the latest Google reranking which came out a few days ago.

Because they realize your parked website is offering their search engine nothing of value.

That's about the size of it. The 'ads for parked domains' are one of Google's little 'intelligence' tests. After all, if you're willing to tell them explicitly that it's a parked domain, and offers nothing of value to a visitor, they can happily degrade your rankings without having to do anything complicated, like rank the site themselves.

Google like saving CPU cycles, especially when it makes their index better...

Parking is only Good if you have premium Names with a lot of Type-in Traffic, not visitors from Google.

So it doesn't make any difference anyway, because also in the past there were basically no visitors from Google to your Parked Page, because parked pages (even if indexed in Google) never appear on first pages of Google for the related keywords anyway

Depends on how far "in the past" you're talking about. About 5-6 years ago parked EMD's often appeared high up in search results on their own merit (i.e. no backlink building.) Not good for searchers but nice if it was your domain .

Lots of people lose rankings and assume they're deindexed. The way to check if you're in the index or not is to do a search for site:yourdomainname.tld They may have deindexed domains at certain providers but all of mine that I've checked are still in there... somewhere.

 

[mrstealth99]

OK, but here is the problem. I park my domain until I get around to developing a site. In the meantime google de-indexes my domain. Now I go back to develop the site but can't because it's not indexed (site:domainname.tld not included in index).

Will google ever re-index the domain once I actually take it out of parking and build a site on it ?
