March 15, 2012 by
More data and answers to be displayed directly on Google.com. If you do certain searches on Google related to air travel, currency and measurement conversions, definitions, and the weather, Google will show you the result on top of the search results. For example, here’s what I see when I search for “weather in Austin”: When you get your answer on Google.com itself you have no reason to go to a site in the search results for the answer

Google tweaks algorithm to kick parked domains out of its index
December 1, 2011 by
Algorithm change designed to push parked domains out of Google.com index.

Above.com adds three new parking companies
November 22, 2011 by
Three additional parking companies added to domain rotation system. Domain name parking optimization system Above.com has integrated three new parking companies into its platform: Voodoo , ParkingCrew , and TheParkingPlace . It’s certainly interesting to see new parking companies pop up on the radar given all of the turmoil in industry; you could argue that these companies are appearing because of the challenges domainers face. Voodoo and ParkingCrew use standard pay-per-click ads whereas TheParkingPlace uses primarily affiliate programs to monetize domain names. ParkingCrew is a new service from Team Internet GmbH out of Germany
