I have 1300 or so parked domains (without arbitrage) nothing pisses me off more than finding my historically well paying domains inundated with low paying arbitrage sites stealing my $$$. I have some dictionary domains with natural traffic which would have previously paid 25 cents to 1.50 per click.... and now some will pay at best 11 cents, even some at 5 cents. Looking at the majority of the domains effected in parking I'll manually type in the urls in the ads only to find some ad filled site either parked or made into a low grade ppc site. Not just a few sites in the ads, but almost every one on parked page/s.
At the end of the day arbitrage cheapens the value of using ppc as an advertiser, lowering the amount they're willing to pay.
I support banning arbitrage, and avoided trying it even though I knew it was easy money.
