Domain parking

<BODY> Domain parking refers to the registration of an internet domain name without that domain being associated with any services such as e-mail or a website. This may have been done with a view to reserving the domain name for future development, and to protect against the possibility of cybersquatting. Since the domain name registrar will have set name servers for the domain, the registrar or reseller potentially has use of the domain rather than the final registrant. Domain parking can be classified as monetized and non-monetized. In the former, advertisements are shown to visitors and the domain is 'monetized'. In the latter, an "Under Construction" or a "Coming Soon" message may or may not be put up on the domain by the registrar or reseller. This is a single-page website that people see when they type the domain name or follow a link in a web browser. Domain names can be parked before a web site is ready for launching. [edit] Parked domain monetization Domain parking may also refer to an advertising practice, more precisely called parked domain monetization [1], used primarily by domain name registrars and internet advertising publishers to monetize type-in traffic visiting a parked or "under-developed" domain name. The domain name will usually resolve to a web page containing advertising listings and links. These links will be targeted to the predicted interests of the visitor and may change dynamically based on the results that visitors click on. Usually the domain holder is paid based on how many links have been visited (e.g. pay per click) and on how beneficial those visits have been. The keywords for any given domain name provide clues as to the intent of the visitor before arriving. Another use of domain parking is to be a placeholder for an existing web site. The domain holder might also choose to redirect a domain to another website it has registered, either through URL redirection, domain cloaking or by pointing it as an alias of the main domain, although if this is done by the ultimate registrant, the domain is then in use, rather than parked. Expired domains that were formerly websites are also sought after for parked domain monetization. A domain that was used as a website and is allowed to expire will still maintain most of its prior inbound links. These types of domains usually attract their largest amount of visitor traffic initially after being claimed from the domain drop lists. As website operators and search engines begin to remove the former inbound links, the traffic to the parked domain will begin to decline. The process of re-registering expired names is known as dropcatching and various domain name registries have differing views on it. [2] On domains with a 'one-click' implementation, a click on a keyword is not necessary to generate ads. The ads are targeted based on the domain name. Domains with 'two-click' implementations require a click on a keyword or a keyword search to generate ads. There are several companies that actively cater to domain name holders and act as middlemen to serve advertisements on parking pages. The parking pages are propagated automatically on a domain holder's web property when they either change the name servers or forward the URL. [edit] Domaineering Domaineering is the business of acquiring and monetizing Internet domain names for their use primarily as an advertising medium rather than as an investment for resale as in domaining. In essence, the domain names function as virtual Internet billboards with generic domain names being highly valued for their revenue generating potential derived from attracting Internet traffic hits. As with traditional advertising, domaineering is part art and part science. Often to be the most effective as advertising tools, the domain names and their corresponding landing pages must be engineered or optimized to produce maximum revenue which may require considerable skill and knowledge of search engine optimization ( SEO ) practices, marketing psychology and an understanding of the target market audience. Domaineering generally utilizes a firm offering domain parking services to provide the sponsored "feed" of a word or phrase searched for. Occasionally content is added to develop a functional mini-website. Domaineers and some of those who advertise online using keywords believe domaineering provides a useful, legal and legitimate Internet marketing service while opponents of domaineering decry the practice as increasing the ubiquitous commercialization of the world wide web. Domaineering is practiced by both large companies who may have registered hundreds or even thousands of domains to individual entrepreneurial minded domaineers who may only own one or a few. bulk domain name registration cheapest domain name registration domain names registration cheap domain name registration international domain name registration domain name registration private domain name registration domain name registration service eu domain name registration domain name registrations domain name registration search web domain name registration affordable domain name registration domain name registration and hosting internet domain name registration low cost domain name registration domain name registration services register domain name registering domain name registering domain names register domain names registered domain name register a domain name buy a domain name get a domain name registering a domain name purchase a domain name com domain name domain name server domain name renew domain name domain name reseller domain name check domain name renewal find domain name domain name search expired domain names domain name owner domain name availability domain name hosting domain name registrar domain name registrars cheapest domain name available domain names info domain names cheapest domain names domain name sale net domain name domain name forwarding cheap domain name org domain names buy domain name purchase domain names buy domain names premium domain names domain names for sale domain names cheap domain names domain name service internet domain names buying domain name domain name parking web domain names buying domain names internet domain name domain name sales choose domain name new domain name biz domain name low cost domain names domain name investments domain names hosting low cost domain name transfer domain names paid domain name parking domain name transfers biz domain names domain name reg domain name services web hosting domain names domain name renewals domain name org lookup domain name who is domain name info domain name domain names search transfer domain name available domain name domain name monetization net domain names purchase domain name domain name sell domain name for sale auction domain name selling domain names domain names sell domain registration domain registrations cheapest domain registration bulk domain registration cheap domain registration domain registration info private domain registration internet domain registration domain registration hosting web hosting domain registration domain registration services domain parking domain parking service paid domain parking domain parked best domain parking domain parking reviews domain parking software parked domains domain search domains com domain info domain asia domain domain domain traffic domain hosting domain registrar web hosting domain buy domain domain monetization register a domain register domain buy domains cheap domain register domains cheapest domains internet domain sell domains cheap domain hosting cheap domains mobi domain sell domain purchase domain web domain domain host domain forwarding domain backorder check domain sale domain com domains expired domain traffic expired domains with traffic park domain park a domain domain transfer domains info domain lookup domain registrars domain direct registering domain great domains cheap domain register domains for sale how to park a domain eu domain eu domains parking a domain cheap web hosting web address registration buy web address reseller web hosting web name dns making money program affiliate making money parked com earn money making money website hosting internet real estate parked internic whois whois lookup email hosting register url com register url registration who is </BODY>
