worth a read.

e.g.
flashgames.com
240,000 visits per month
keywords: kids games
contains sedo google feed in frameset
earns $150,000 per year
http://www.alexa.com/search?q=flashgames.com
(alexa rank 275,489)
4 inward links (alexa data)

I'd love to have 150,000 of those!

Yes, but think how much revenue it would turn over with a proper site on it. They're mad.

Well i guess because of the volume of domains they claim to be dealing with, they've decided that the development and maintenance costs of creating sites are'nt worth it.

flashgames.com a week ago had some sort of site with sedo ads in a frameset.

They soon after changed it to a red sedo page, and now it's just a straight green sedo parking page.

They wouldn't chop and change like that if it was that successful.

$150,000 straight parking revenue per annum my arse - there is something fishy going on here.

What? with Sedo? no way . . .
