To repeat what someone else said, that's not an MFA. It's a direct navigation domain.

I thought MFA (Made For AdSense) referred to the page where the person landed, not how the person arrived on the page.

If I have a domain name that I think people will type in directly and I put AdSense ads and little else on the destination page, that's a page Made For AdSense IMO.

If I have a domain name and associate it with a page where I've put AdSense ads and little else and buy traffic from AdWords or other sources to send to that page, that's still a page that has been Made For AdSense.

According to a Verisign report that Mattg3 cited, some 25% of 135 million domains, or about 31 million, are parked.

Considering that many registrars now put PPC ads on a parked page when someone registers a domain and doesn't do anything with it, that number doesn't surprise me.

I wonder what percentage of parked domains have PPC ads?

In any case, type-in traffic on parked domains is a different issue from click arbitrage...

I understand the difference, but it doesn't make any difference to the point I'm making. And that point is there are a LOT of pages where a person can end up and see PPC ads and little else, regardless of how the person arrived on the page.

What are the future implications of that? I have no idea.
