Yahoo, in its efforts to find ways to make less and less money has notified Parked.com that it will be enforcing its rules on traffic arbitrage. Here is Yahoo’s statement.

“All other types of traffic including bought traffic, traffic driven by PPC campaigns, traffic directed from hyperlinks are not permitted. If your traffic originates from any sources other than type-in and search engine traffic, you will not be entitled to payment as per this Agreement. Regular checks are carried out and we reserve the right to suspend any domain from our Service at any time, on our sole discretion, if we reasonably believe that you have violated this Agreement; for example, if we suspect that the traffic on your domain is bought, generated or redirected in any way that contravenes these terms and conditions.”

And so the shoe drops!

As much as I hate to do it, I have decided to sell MySpaceLayoutDirectory.com. It is currently listed on SitePoint, so give it a look if you are interested. Here’s a link to make it easy to find.

As a domainer, who is also an SEO, who is also a web developer I have been spending my time developing and SEOing some of the properties in my domain portfolio. This gives some explanation to the posting hiatus that has come as of late.

I have several projects in the works, but today I am going to go ahead and roll out a Kansas City Shopping website that I believe is ready to hit the wires. Take a look and see what you think. As you will notice, this is an example of what can be done with a domain property in a relatively short amount of time. It has content, it has been SEO’d, and I am already sending it traffic.

The idea for the site is to drive traffic for some targeted shopping-related terms, specifically for Kansas City, so the site can get in front of a valuable set of visitors. Once that happens, the valuable traffic can be sold to those who want it but can’t get it on their own.

The domain name of the new site, ShoppingKansasCity.com, lends itself well to the overall SEO plan even though the name itself does not bring in much type-in traffic on its own. For those of you who are interested, the lack of type-in traffic is likely due to the order of the geographic qualifier in the keyword phrase and the overall number of terms in the targeted phrase. As I mentioned, regardless of the type-in traffic, I know that the valuable terms are still in the domain name and therefore they will bring along the weight that is afforded to URLs containing keyword-rich terms.

Take a look at the site if you get a minute and keep an eye out as I continue to develop out my domain portfolio in the coming days.

Today’s premium list has some real winners.  Like I mentioned in the public post, one domain is based on a keyword that generates a maximum cost/click of $50.  Another domain gets 830 - 1,038 clicks per day and cost advertisers between $1,010 and $1,830.

Like I’ve mentioned before, these are the names I would typically keep for myself, but there is only so much money in my pocket to spend.  So if you are serious about finding some good names, then here you go!
