Look out below; the domain industry was just dealt another huge blow.



In September 2024, Google informed advertisers that new Google ad accounts would automatically be opted out of serving ads on parked domains.

That meant that the growth of new ads to show on parked domains would stop, and over time, there would be fewer advertisers showing ads on parked domains. This would suppress ad prices.

The bad news just got worse.

This change will impact you even if you don’t park on ad landers. Domain registrars that count on parking ads on “coming soon” pages to provide a bit of margin will feel the squeeze, which might ultimately result in higher registration prices for everyone.

That had better not happen, registration prices are already starting to make it hard for some people.
 
The people making money from domain parking weren’t domainers. Also.

And from what I've seen, I'm glad they put an end to it. The keywords they targeted were always ones small businesses bid on (plumbers, HVAC, landscapers). I own a business in the trades. If I didn't know it was possible to opt out, I'd definitely be wary of spending my bucks with them.

I tend to disagree, in the heyday I made 2k a day from parking, have reports to back that up. But for a while now I felt that I was better off having a for sale sign than a bunch of ads.

I should've clarified that better and meant recently. No kidding, I'd be surprised if all the best parked domains combined even made a tenth of what those scammers were making from promoting a single lander these days.
 
I have a few domains at Bodis and must say the landers are quite nice, one of the only places that truly has a no commission motto. With DomainEasy going to 9% in October I think Bodis might get another rush.

That said I don't use ads so on the domains I have there I use the lander option and between that and the fact that ads are ever shrinking it makes me wonder how Bodis can survive. If I were a betting man I would say eventually they cannot. Glad to see the blank page issue with Adguard is resolved though.

That said there is an easy way to circumvent commission on almost all Marketplaces and if anyone wants to know how to do that just ask.

No, I haven't really bothered to try.

I expect it to shut down soon, when is the last time you've heard from Matt? It's running on borrowed time and anyone using it should have an exit plan.
