Marchex has discontinued their Sitebox parking program.  Above.com has disabled redirection to the Sitebox service for any clients who currently have it in their rotation.  Any domains that were pointed to Sitebox from their Above.com account will have their domains redirected to the next best performing parking service they have enabled.  Above.com clients who have questions in regards to the removal of this service should contact their Above.com Account Manager or support through their account dashboard.

Sometimes it makes sense to develop a website rather than simply parking it. This allows you a lot more control about the design and the content, as well as provide a site that is very different from all the other ones.
However if you want to make money using advertising, be it adsense or any other platform, it is probably best not to have a too good looking design.

The Above.com Domain Parking Manager has reached and surpassed a major milestone this November. Optimizing and reporting on over 1 million parked domains. 1.2 million domains to be exact.

These domains are parked via 15 different Parking Companies and for good reason. Each domain parking service has strengths and weaknesses. Some are Google based and some are Yahoo based, some do better on US traffic, some do better on International traffic, some do better on adult or gaming domains others do better on travel or finance domains.

The TRAFFIC Awards were present to the winners last night. Voting for the nominated parties started 2 months ago and as these are votes by domainers, well done to all that won the praise of their fellow domainers.

And the nominations and winners were...

Domain Parking Optimization is the process of matching the best and most relevant PPC ads on your Parked Domains to the intent of the visitors going to that domain. Basically, if your domain is about "used cars", then you should be displaying PPC ads about "used cars" and not some generic ads about Travel, Software, Music...  etc...

The intention is to make sure that the visitor is present with the closest matched options for what they are looking for. By doing so, they are more than likely to click on one of the ads, which results in generating domain parking revenues.
