I'm actually satisfied that they have take big steps in keeping most of the parked domains out of the search results.
With the domains under their "umbrella" they will have even greater control making sure at least those domains are not displaying in the serps.
Parking Domains with natural traffic makes all the sense in the world , If Hotels.com was a Parked domain as hotel advertiser you'd love to get that highly targeted traffic and everyone wins from advertiser, Google and the domain owner.
As long as G remains diligent about keeping parks out of serps and all the usual stuff like monitoring the domains so the traffic is genuine and not arbitraged junk and nixing TM domains etc..looks like they have winner on their hands ..
Not showing up in my Adsense panel yet
After accepting into the program from the main Adsense page, I changed the DNS settings for a domain per their instructions, added the domain into my Adsense for Domains list, and about 10 minutes later it was working! Easy!
Thanks Santa Google!
I'd rather have Google listen (and implementing) our wishes. Domain parking was not one of them (at least not in this forum).
What if the domain channel actually added value? Making a blanket statement like 'the traffic is error' is so misinformed when you look at all the search spam out there, it pales :D
I think a lot of the guys bagging out domains need to stop taking themselves so seriously, or are they just annoyed they never had a premium domain to see what the traffic was even like?
Read the EEF report, that's why Google want the traffic, for smart advertisers that know how to use generic domains to get the best traffic in their industry. Barely any advertisers even see the oppourtunity here!
Thank you, Google, for making domain names even further unavailable for real development.
Thank you, Google, for strangling the online world.
Thank you, Google, for not listening to us.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Nobody knows what the spammer flavor of the month is until they do it. I'm hoping that owners of 1000+ MFA sites who run aggregating software almost exclusively decide to pack it in and just drop links in forums to their parked domains instead.
If that happens we may see less spam, not more, and just maybe my articles won't get instantly aggregated on a half dozen sites when I write them.
The "good" domains were unavailable anyway.
There may be some (tiny) redeeming value if you exercized more control over the ads being run. But as it stands this just degrades the value of the internet, hurts the acquisition of knowledge generally and slows human progress.
I'm trying to crunch the numbers on that comment and I can't make them work.
Dollars being spent on adwords didn't increase, places adsense will appear just increased by an unknown but probably significant percentage which means adsense earners can expect to see a lower epc as the dollars get stretched to cover more territory (which makes the middle range of internet real estate cheaper).
I'm on the fence on this, I missed the part where google will make more money from this because it's publishers who take advantage, not advertisers.
