I've come across another domain under a PTC site (see pic below)

The following domain is listed under sedo Along with following stats

Seller's price expectation: 4,580 EUR

The seller has listed the domain in EUR. The sum of 4,580 EUR is currently equivalent to approximately 3,194 GBP.
Please choose your preferred currency.

these are the stats

DOMAIN STATISTICS:
Unique Visitors per month*: 1,150
Visitors to this Sedo Listing*: 47
Previous Offers for this Domain: 6

* Data from the previous 32 days

The domain is generating false traffic, please bear this in mind if you decide to purchase this domain.

So this person is generating traffic to a parked page through advertising, and this is making them revenue??

Ok, erm so what is the problem

Thats the same as generating traffic to a web site through advertising with the hope of making revenue from the user through click through advertising!?

This is the future

or am I missing something, I have been working flat out for 24hrs!?

It probably wont change because those terms are set by google who provide the ads, its the same for every parking company that uses google ads.

I havnt gone back and read Google Adsence TOS but doesnt' google only not allow 'falsely generated' traffic??

If you generate traffic to a web site or parked page through advertising, thats not falsely generated traffic, thats genuine traffic! Traffic that you can not make click through further without their interest in that product/service...

So google shouldnt really effect how traffic is generated in relation to parked pages...

aquanuke · 24-09-2007, 06:04:35 PM

Whats Google adsence terms got to do with Google's terms for parking

Google only allows 'natural' and 'type-in' traffic. You can't advertise a PPC site - it's against all PPC TOS.
