Will Google Delist PPC Parked Pages?

[slobizman]

I'm trying to understand how Search Engines react to parked pages when they discover that's what they are. I've got a few hundred names parked at a major PPC company (guess I can't name it here)

I've read here and there that when a search engine discovers that a page is really just a parked page, they will likely delist it. Is that true? Or is it only true for pages that the owner is playing games with, ala link farms and the like? Seems like they delist PPC-parked pages no one would every park their names with PPC sites...

Also, if a page is delisted, can you get it listed again if you develop the name? Automatic or does one need to contact the SE?

In addition, this PPC company sets up sitemaps for each name. Someone on another forum told me that Google could view this as a link farm. Hard to believe, since it would screw every domain name parked there. What's the real skinny on this?

Before the main point, there are parking companies that have specific arrangements with PPC companies such as Miva (Findwhat/espotting) that openly state the traffic is of that type. I think Miva even have details of such an offering on their site. The point being that they rely on type-ins on the whole.

Expecting to get much traffic to a parked page through search engine listings is going to lead to dissapointment as, unless you do work behind the scenes in some dodgy way, there will be no reason for the search engines to think the page is useful.

This brings me on to the point, I believe that the search engines do not penalise parked pages such as PPC listings. It's merely that they do not rank well due to not meriting it, I would only worry if you have been abusing link strategies to boost rankings of a page with no information other than adverts.

Heck, even Google has its DomainPark [google.com] program for Adsense. They pop up in the SERPs all the time.

Someone on a domains forum told me that some parking programs also store searches that are made on your site site maps and link them to your parked page. He said that Google treats this as a “link farm” and that is not looked upon well with Google, and they will block your domain. You will then have to contact Google to unblock your domain, but it could take a long time.

My PPC company enables sitemaps for all domains so it's got me a little worried. Should I be?
