After it got popular years ago, I tryed to aquire siteonline.com (no hyphen) but the horder wanted thousands for it. (10s of thousands). Naturally I decided to live without it.
NOW if you visit siteonline.com (not a real name just an example) it is a whole page of site online related search terms. On view-source it shows ALL of them are adsense ads, but altered ones. No "ads by google" and in a format that google does not offer... (long sentence-like ads, nothing like you could select in adsense).
Upon closer inspection it is a domain parking site, and this happens with hundereds of domains it parks.
NO CONTENT just adsense altered ads only.
I just wrote google and reported it, I did NOT write them for fear of retaliation. What is wrong with these people? Why stuff so much crap on the web you cannot even surf hardly any more without these bogus search "engines"...
Don't really have a question, just mad as hell and thought I might see if any others "feel my pain"...
[google.com...]
...then it's Google Adsense for Domains.
Yep, you might be reporting a spammy looking page to the folks supplying the ads for it. Kind of funny when you think about it.

There have posts in the past that Google's primary goal is Quality.
I've had several recent searches land on these domain park pages and of course have to search again and again to find the pertinent site or information. So I take the time to tell Google how to improve their service, but actually its just asking them to restore their service to its previous level. A waste of time.
Google how does this relate to quality search results?

Search quality is an issue for the Google News forum, but as for the use of AdWords on parked domains, there's nothing wrong with that if advertisers know (and agree to) what they're getting. Right now, advertisers are taking potluck if they don't opt out of the content network, and some obviously aren't willing to accept the risk of nonconverting PPC traffic from questionable sources (whether those sources are parked domains, "made for AdSense" sites, premium partners with huge volumes of generic traffic, or low-quality sites in general). Presumably this will all sort itself out as Google moves beyond the first-generation AdSense and other content-network products.
My observation is that Google is getting pretty good at the spam thing. Man, there are a billon pages of spam out there and almost none of it is in top serps. IMHO
That would disqualify a lot of parked domains.
"If your sites generate more than 750,000 page views per month"

Sun,
That is possible with their non-hyphened version of my name, my-site.com is an authority, mysite.com could easily pull that.
Ah, to see a wannabe Teacher's pet get a face full of pie. I so love it.
I don't understand this, please clarify. (I must be dense or something)
Obviously, if the site owner is enrolled in the program, they meet the qualifications. I was speaking more the advertisers concerned about site quality or non-targeted traffic. If a parked domain is pulling in that kind of traffic, wouldn't that suggest there is a good chance of relevance?
suggest there is a good chance of relevancePeople type that url to find my site. They don't find it anywhere in all the ads. They do not find what they are looking for at all.
texas, reporting sites you think are in violation is just another tool in the toolbox.
Oh I get it now, he was insulting me for defending my name.. hmmm... middle finger starting to itch for some reason...
Well, you better go work on that then. You have an AdWords account don't you? ;)
