Scraper site - Premium publisher?

wow I didnt know about the google domain park program....

the urls look very similar to premium publishers so thats why i figured.

Thanks for posting that chris7

 

So there really is a domain parked feature from google. Anyone here is using the service? Interested to know how it goes for this.

 

Yes,there is a Google AdSense for domains program (it is official).
For details you can read:
http://www.google.com/domainpark/

BUT: the parked domain must generate 750,000 page views per month so that's not for everyone...

Google bought Applied Semantics (they offered domain parking)
http://www.appliedsemantics.com/

This is pretty old, it was happening a while ago,for the press release:
http://www.google.com/press/pressrel/applied.html

Now: I think the sites discussed in this thread don't use Google Domain Park but some other service that use Google as a provider for Sponsored Listings...

 

Sites like that are just meant to deceive people into thinking the ads are content. I would certainly not want my ads there if I were an AdWords customer. I think it's very disappointing that google actually supports sites like that.

 

I get dozens of entries from this site in my log a day... I was curious about it too... ?

 

I've got this in my logs too but I'm using adwords and the logs show the search phrase which brought that visitor to my site

 

the sites a spam!

 

i don't think they are from Google Ads. This page is actually created automatically by the registrar of the expired domain we are trying to open with. And those ads posted on it are ads served by the registrar itself.

Try to open my previous domain www.kawebspy.net and you'll find lots of ads there.

 

I got many clicks from that site http://www.jaja-jak-globusy.com however I don't use adsense...I have no idea what all these clicks are about...
Now i can't open that URL - just blank page. Can someone help me and expalin what is going on?
What should I do if I see in referrers sites I have never exchanged links with, never added my URlL to, and never heard of?

 

Perhasps it is not.
I Think they are not premium publishers they are just using adsense for domain.
anyway it seems jaja-jak-globusy.com site is down it is redirecting to index_none.php

You dont have to use adsense that site is pulling up adword ads. so if your in adword then you'll get clicks from that site.

 

but I am NOT in adword...
yes, I also saw it was down but still get dozens of clicks from them

 

So 3 1/2 months later I'm seeing jaja-jak-globusy.com referrer spamming me on yet another domain, I've noticed this on about 3-4 on just my sites so far now.

Checking the IP again

http://whois.webhosting.info/66.118.136.67

66.118.136.67 - IP hosts 354808 Total Domains ...
Showing 1 - 50 out of 354808

Yes thats 300k+ domains - I went through a few of these domains and nearly every one is pointing to the same scraper, here are a few examples

hxxp://www.jaja-jak-globusy.com/
hxxp://www.squishyneo.com/
hxxp://www.rentalqueue.com/
hxxp://www.zumos.com
hxxp://www.1071themonkey.com
hxxp://www.1280patriot.com
hxxp://www.carcaft.com/
hxxp://www.insallshield.com

As you can typo variations on carcraft and installshield, just stacks of rubbish basically. Well maybe the crap sites are borderline inside the TOS for the parking program normally but surely they don't permit referral log spamming

This has been going on for too long ago and obviously nothing is being done about it, its being run by some bangkok chick boys:

(yes these have been previously mentioned but I thought these were useful reference points)

I use adwords myself - I can hardly opt out of 300k+ sites to get around this crap - it just seems like double standards when it's evident from the forums people have been banned for not adhering to the TOS yet this just continues every month without fail.

 

LOL! You guys are looking at this the wrong way. This is a golden opportunity. They can afford to spend $2 million a year on domains, how much are they making a year? I'd put moral aside and jump in if I had the money.


edit: aww got a couple neg rep, LOL!

 

This has been very motivational though, maybe I'll start something like this less the log spamming.

 

Anyone else just get a blank page for jaja-jak-globusy?

 

Yeah, I see that too. Maybe they pulled the page when DP members turned the lights on.

Imagine if you had 350,000 domains. If each one only got 10 pageviews a day, thats 3.5 million page views. 5% clickthru means 175,000 clicks. At 10 cents/click thats $17,500 perday. Would anyone really turn down that money? Thats a yearly income of 6.4 million dollars.

Let's assume you pay $5/domain/year. Thats an investment of $1.75 million dollars. That's only a 27% cost of goods (the domain names) - any industry would kill for that.

Alcohol COGS is about 29%, Food about 39%. Retail about 50%. 27% isn't too shabby in comparison.

 

three years later and the site is still up! lol still making money...

 

http://www.jaja-jak-globusy.com/ is a parked site.

It's adsense for domain parking....
