Rubbish listings.

In the money.

Surely this is against Google's TOS?

It will be in the near future (when all domains will have to use the parking provider's DNS rather than forwarding). Unless, of course, Sedo is explicitly willing to collude by setting up the same arrangement on their own servers. But that should become blatantly obvious come October 1st (or whatever the cutoff date was for moving to DNS-based parking from URL forwarding)

you seem to have an axe to grind edwin....

My point about the monster one is monster is a generic term yet the uk.com advertises jobs because it uses the .co.uk on the iframe url:

http://www.sedoparking.com/search/re...monster.uk.com
http://www.sedoparking.com/search/re...=monster.co.uk

Clearly trading off the brand. So there are so many cases of this where the uk.com is trading off the .co.uk, I am surprised they are getting away with this.

Of course I do. Whoever's behind the deal with .uk.com is squatting on all our 6,500+ .co.uk domains, and on all your domains, and on everyone else's domains, with their fake-domain forwarding setup.

very naughty indeed

why would sedo risk this as providers have been sued before

i mean, how many people type in domains with a .uk.com suffix?

geez , even generic .co.uk get LOW enough traffic tbh
even one word .coms can get amazingly low traffic

it sounds like a 'cool' or 'sneaky' deal they have done and probably patted themselves on the back but in actual fact i bet it's illegal and I bet they are getting pencil shavings from in it in reality
