How landing pages can get your domain name banned from Google

Getting banned from Google isn’t good for you.

Over half the online users use it daily to find what they’re looking for.

If you happen to be using a service like DomainSponsor, Parked or Sedo, you’re likely to see your domain name banned from this powerful search engine, not to mention others like Yahoo! and Bing.

You see, landing pages are some of the lowest value pages which users can come across and it’s going to be bad for business for any search engine to display these pages as their primary results… or even in their “inner pages” results. So most search engines just ban automated landing pages and the domain names that lead there.

That’s why you need to get off the landing page train because it’s basically going into the proverbial wall.

Not so long ago, you still got some search engine visitors to your landing pages but not anymore, those days are over. Just go check your “landed pages” with this tool and see how completely banned your landing pages are, with Google. Be warned, it’s not going to be a  pretty sight!

Spend as many hours as necessary to build up forums, blogs, social networks, directories or other services, for each one of your domain names but don’t leave them with the landing pages providers because they’re destroying your ability to derive search engine traffic, from them.

In some cases, you may be able to eventually get listed again with several search engines but that’s not a sure thing as you’ll need to setup a very convincing web destination for that to happen.

While landing pages have been an attractive solution for a while, it’s just not a good deal anymore.

Not getting search engine traffic will likely kill several times the revenue potential you’d have by developing a worthwhile web destination associated with each of your domain names.

Be smart and get off the landing page parade now because the more you wait, the more you’re likely to suffer from a nasty wall-t0-wall ban, from almost every major search engine out there, including Google.

YPN is the joke of the PPC market

If you’re a hard working web publisher looking to monetize your web properties with pay-per-click ads, don’t waste your time knocking on Yahoo!’s door!

You see, Yahoo! is a bizarre company.

It has made the awesome email service and yet, it has managed to completely mess up its pay-per-click ads business by severely restricting it to…

• its own network (of course);
• US-based publishers only — who are only accepted through the lesser known “invitation process”… which you can’t initiate, per se, by just completing their form; and
• the publishers who happen to be visited by hundreds of thousands of unique visitors, everyday.

So you see why it might be a HUGE problem to become a Yahoo! ads publisher. It’s next to impossible, for normal human beings.

And if that wasn’t enough to turn you off, Yahoo!’s ads are UGLY and backwards. They look bulky and unelegant. Plus, they blend poorly in your design unless you’re knowledgeable enough to handle their API (and then, it looks awesome).

Seeing how the Google AdSense pay-per-click are paying (pennies), lots of web publishers are attempting to get accepted at Yahoo! but that currently harder than getting tickets to a Washington Red Skins game (and that speaks volumes).

The real solution for web publishers, is to open up their own online web services store and sell all sorts of value added services hundreds of millions of people want to purchase, such as domain names, web hosting and SSL certs. Get in on the action today with your own store and kiss the YPN blue away, forever!
