Queen.com parking page flagged as suspicious by Adguard (2.Viewing)

I was reading a Rick Schwartz Twitter post this morning and out of curiosity I decided to check out how he markets one of his domains.

I punched in Queen.com and up came this warning





I use Adguard as my adblocker and security addon and I was surprised to see Ricks domain flagged.

When I clicked PROCEED ANYWAY I was forwarded to the BODIS landing page and it was apparent at that time that Adguard was flagging BODIS not Queen.com. I have long been complaining that when using Adguard Bodis gets filtered but now it also marks the pages as suspicious. One might not think that is a big deal but there are thousands and thousands of Adguard users and @BODIS needs to address this by contacting Adguard and getting their landers white listed.





The Domain King gives great advice on Twitter and I'm an avid reader of his tweets. From that I know he has not been using Bodis landers too long but having a domain flagged like this could pose serious problems if a potential buyer is using Adguard.


When you click the contact link on the Bodis page it goes to DomainKing.com which is standard fare for Rick.


Great domain name, great marketing, but the Adguard issue needs to be addressed.

Anyone who uses adguard probably understands what is going on and just clicks through anyway if they are interested in the domain (and btw that's not a bodis lander either).

That explains why my browser blocks bodis completely and shows a warning on this page.

Seems like Adguard is getting quite aggressive, but if I remember correctly there were othe ad blockers that blocked parking pages as well.

So this issue aside, with Bodis the blank page issue is known to me because I see tons of Bodis and other Parking Pages. To a regular Joe who sees a blank page from parking they are not going to disable the adblocker, they are going to asume there is nothing at that address.

I have communicated via the Adguard forums in the past and the site is quite responsive to issues. I bet if the different parking companies contacted them they could figure out how to avoid this issue.

Hello again.

So firstly, just to confirm what was pointed out above by @rlm , this domain is not parked with us. That is the parking template we used to use a couple of years ago, and our competitors use now. I asked some colleagues also to share their experiences about the general issue, and nobody could recall any reports of issues around AdGuard until now. That of course does not automatically mean there can never be any issues. If any of you do have examples that point to Bodis-parked domains, please let me know. @MapleDots sorry if I missed any correspondence between us about AdGuard, I couldn't find any. I would be happy to contact AdGuard myself with some examples.

Thanks,
Shaun
