How Google Views Parked Domain Names

So you’ve got a great idea for a new web site. You search and search for that great domain name, and you finally find one that hasn’t already been taken.

So you quickly snatch it up. The problem? You haven’t BUILT the site yet!

NO PROBLEM, you think, my web host just puts up a parked domain page until I get around to building my site. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Think of those GoDaddy parked pages you’ve surely seen. Hey, you might think, they might even pay me a little to do that!

Pay Attention to What I’m About To Say…

You should never, never, never set up any sort of paid parked domain page on your web site if you intend to eventually USE the site yourself. Here’s why….

Google constantly spiders the Internet. They’re always out there…crawling from site to site. Sooner than you think, they’ll stumble onto your parked web site and see that nasty parked web page. And what will the Google gods do?

They’ll decide your site is a crappy parked domain page, and they’ll make a note of that. Since your site is just some crappy parked domain page, they’ll feel no need to come back and crawl it again any time soon. Eventually you’ll build your web site, and you’ll WANT Google to start crawling your site. But they’ll have already made up their mind…and it’s much harder to change Google’s mind once it’s made up, then it is simply starting from scratch.

Sure, you can do it….but it’s much harder to get Google re-interested in your site once they determine that there’s no reason for them to crawl you.

And really, do you want to start your new web site with a mark against you? It’s already hard enough to get a new site indexed and avoid the dreaded Google Sandbox (the penalty area where Google puts a lot of new sites before they allow them into the main Google index – it’s supposed to keep spammers from being able to jack up brand new sites in the rankings before those sites are worth getting high rankings.).

So resist the urge to put up a parked domain page. I’ve never met anyone that actually made money from them, and with the potential fallout…It’s just not worth it. Leave the web site blank until your site is ready.

Google SEO and Domain Authority

To understand how to best optimise your site for Google you need to understand how the web’s link graph works and how Google places value on a particular site. One of the most common SEO techniques is to build vast amounts of links back to a particular page in order to boost its popularity and rank it higher on Google’s index.

Google’s world famous patent PageRank was designed originally to work out the popularity of a particular page on the web. It would take into account where the link was coming from and how relevant it was to the target page. A link from a popular trusted page would be worth a lot more than a link from a page hardly visible on the web.

Google has evolved in the last few years and is now making rank calculations based on a domain level as well as on a page level. Google will now assess how many domains point to your domain, how much authority these domains have and how relevant they are to your content.

So when we are building links back to our sites we need to think about the type of domains pointing to us as
well as the type of pages. For instance a link from a deep page of an authority site may well be worth more than a link from the home page of a less recognised site.

Also whilst thinking about the authority of our domain we need to think about where external links point to on our pages. A common mistake many newbie SEO’s make is by building all their links to their home page leaving their deeper pages to drop out of the index, however Google will specifically look to see where links are pointing to. Google may consider all pages without links to be of no interest and therefore not worth adding to the index. Sites with good amounts of links popularity to deeper pages will always rank better on Google.

When practicing any SEO technique be sure to think about trust, authority and popularity from the perspective of your domain as a whole rather than a particular page. Do you ever wonder why authority sites seem to be able to rank new pages quickly? This is because they have huge amounts of domain authority; Google trusts them fully and therefore fully trusts every piece of content that comes from those domains. It’s simple really build domain authority and rank higher on Google quicker.

Google Loves Old Domain Names

I know for a fact that Google loves old domain names. How do I know this? Because I have built many websites upon old domains, and the instant traffic this gives me is unbelievable. Any content that I place on these older domains gets ranked highly in the SERPS, even when I have done little to no backlink promoting. Let’s discuss how to buy an old domain name, what to put on your site, and how to cash in on the amazing traffic you will get.

Since we want all of the free traffic from Google that we can get, we’re going to go shopping for an old domain name. There are plenty of places to do this, but I personally like to deal with a domain broker that is personal and accessible in case something goes wrong. Just do a search on webmaster forums and head to their “domains for sale” section. It won’t take you long to figure out who is the most reputable domain broker on the forum. Then send him a message letting him know what you are looking for. Of course you want your primary keyword term in the domain name, but you may end up picking a new niche once you find out what domains he has available. In general, the older the domain the better. You also want to try to make sure that this domain hasn’t been heavily penalized in the past.

Now you need to decide what type of content to put on your new site on the old domain name. This brings us back to the point on the keyword in the domain name. Let’s say that your new site is antiquecars(dot)com, so obviously you need to focus on antique cars. Additionally you need to do some research on long tail keywords to determine other related searches that will bring an a bunch of visitors. Once you have figured out all of the keywords that you need to attack, just build a page on each of those that will draw in the masses.

Now that you have bought your old domain name, done your keyword research, and have built many pages that target each keyword, it’s time to monetize your site. You have plenty of choices on how to make money on your site, but the two options that are most commonly used are AdSense and various affiliates. For AdSense you just need to get an account with Google and figure out where to place the ads. For affiliates you need to get an account at several affiliate companies such as Commission Junction, figure out which advertisers have the goods your customers will want, apply to become their affiliate, and then place their ads on your site.

Using old domain names for your new sites will work wonders for you. Once you see the instant traffic and high rankings you will get, it’s likely that you will never register a new domain again.
