| I have some odd news to throw in...it appears that Google has begun to sweep parked domains off its plate (and I don't just mean domains at Parked.com). This could explain the low traffic that started recently.

| Google has started to discriminate against parked domains - potentially by identifying the IP range/Parking company they are on.
There is also a new option for advertisers to turn off parked domains from their ad listings.
More and more, development is the answer. Personally, I want to see Microsoft buying Yahoo to put Google back to where it belongs.

I have seen a huge drop in both traffic and clicks today at parked as well.

| I already explained it twice.
Google started to discriminate against parked pages.
Therefore, less search results that come from Google end up on these pages.
It's not just Parked.com, it's the entire parking industry that has taken a dip.

The thing I think we are all saying is that their is a very large drop off in traffic and revenue today at parked.

| IMO, this is very smart move from Googe and it will definitely improve search results quality and help developed sites with real content to come to top. This shouldn't bother you if you have domains with type-in traffic which don't depend on search engines. | |

Am I missing something.

The purpose of delving in the domain business is to increase visibility of domains and multiply revenue, not to cut off the airpipes.
It's the same when you remove the seabed where the coral grows on - after a while, fish disappear.

It's not just Parked.com, it's the entire parking industry that has taken a dip. | This is huge news
It would certailny explain the current fluctuation in my parking income
Do you have any references for this news about google?
How about starting a thread not tied to a specific PPC company? | |

| It's not exactly "news".
What's news is that there is a pattern of parked domains falling off the "face" of Google completely. Not banned, just removed.

Completely agree with you on MS/Yahoo, I think the move will only increase competition, which is what we need. | |
