Sedo has on their site an announcement about changes to their parking system:

“”””””””” New Domain Parking Requirements

Sedo is implementing a few new changes to our parked domains network that will be rolled out starting this week. One of these industry-wide changes is the implementation of organic search results on parked domains.

Organic searches will appear at the end of a search results page that is generated when visitors click on a related link or enter a search term.

These unpaid links should improve the user experience and the relevancy of the content.

Another change required of our advertising partner, is that visitor clicks on your parked domains will now open the target page in the same window.

Both of these changes will be rolled out globally and users may see variations in CTR.

However, with the new Auto Layout Rotation tool improving CTR at 11% on average, this should counteract any negative effects. We are also working on several new parking features which will be rolled out in the coming months to improve your parking experience with Sedo.”””””””

This of course is a move being required by Google.

Placing non-paid ads results on the same page as paid results, is actually one of the items which we said was long rumored to be on Google’s radar and made the deal with Yahoo very bad for domainers.

Placing  non-paying links on parking pages, will reduce parking revenues.

We can only assume that DomainSponsor, another Google partner, will have to include non-paid results as well.

Once again we need as an industry to do whatever we can to keep Yahoo independant of Google.

Having only Google as the only choice for domain parking, will lead to continued rules and restrictions and reduced revenue for parking companies and domainers.
