Do parked domains get indexed?

[flybuzz]

I guess parked domains are pretty much empty excepct code from sedo or whoever that you use. Does google index it?

Goldkey and ActiveAudience have had some success keeping parked domains in search engines. With some other services the domains drop from search engines almost immediately when they get parked.

I have found many of my domains well indexed in trafficz.com even after many years.

Pool and enom also seem to do very well getting their parked domains very near the top of the search engines.

What's the situation in respect to how search engines treat forwarded domain names?

How does TrafficZ do that successfully?

Which categories do well there?

thats a top rated question and worth a bump...

How does TrafficZ do that successfully?

Personally I don't know how they do it, but they manage it, at least for previously registered domains.

For an example, I picked up otomobilim.net when it dropped in August 2003, three years ago, and it still/now shows up in position one in google.co.uk out of 90k pages.

I'm guessing that in the case of this domain, part of the answer for the "success" is that there are still plenty of sites linking to it.

Which categories do well there?

I'm not too sure about that as I put very few domains elsewhere. I'm sure that some people do know though.

Create and temporary webpage you can get some free templates at
http://www.openwebdesign.org/ or http://www.oswd.org/designs/browse/
Let it sit for 6 months until it builds some search results, then park the page. That's the only sure way I can say to get indexed.

Give the page a couple of good backlinks, then you are solidly listed after 4 to 6 weeks. Don't need to wait 6 months.

They do get indexed, but not very well.

After joining GoldKey and becoming familiar with their pages, I've often found them in Google results. One I have parked with GK is now at #5 on page 1 for the search on the sld.

How about this - I hand reg'd pickledbeetroot.com a few months back. Seems someone owned it in 2001 - no site or anything.

Type pickled beetroot into google and up comes my Trafficz page at position 8 page 1. I know it aint the most popular topic but, hey, it's bringing traffic...

It works better with obsecure names like this where there isnt a lot of competition for the keywords
