Organic search traffic is a huge benefit provided by WhyPark. I'll use the example of GasJam.com in this post to show how WhyPark can monetize a domain with "no type" in traffic. I anticipate that this domain will sell in the next year due to the current state of gas prices, but when I choose the theme for this site I got a little creative. I figured I'd use GasJam.com to present information on gastric bypass surgery.
Selecting the theme, I simply entered the keyword "gastric bypass" in the control panel shown below. I also selected the WhyPark Ad Network and the site category of Diet, Nutrition and Weight Loss.
So how did the domain do in attracting organic search traffic? I'd say pretty darn good. 83% of the traffic was from organic search and 11% was from returning visitors accounting for most of the 14% of direct traffic.
I specifically choose this site to highlight because it is not monetized with Google Adsense, nor is it being given any organic search traffic from Google. Basically it can't get any worse than that!
How did the site monetize? It could have been better, but for the latest two month period GasJam.com earned $.73 or $4.38 annually. Nothing to write home about, but it sure helps offset the annual renewal fee at Godaddy of $7.15 while I wait to sell the domain for $450 to $950.
Yes, you may think $4.38 per year stinks. But no type in traffic, no Google Adsense and no Google organic search traffic; that's your worst case situation. If you had to guess, how much do you think GasJam.com would have earned at a traditional parking company. If you answered $0 that's exactly what it made parked at a major parking company for 18 months.
Obviously, I took a very mediocre domain with no love from Google and showed that WhyPark was able to monetize the domain. I could have showed you a mediocre domain like AutismContacts.com that earns $3.00 per week at WhyPark, but that would defeat the purpose of this post.

I checked out a few other forums, about this company, Whypark.com, and I also clicked some of the links to websites, that some of the members said they've parked at Whypark.com. Well, all of these links resulted in an error message on the Whypark.com website.
Here's some of the links i've tried :-- http://www.belizeden.com and http://www.pcvirus.net and http://www.smallvillage.org.
What could be the reason all these sites are not even listed with Google or Yahoo. Apparently some of them has been around for some time, so they should surely have been indexed already.
Thanks

Hi K:
The one link I tried that did not work was pcvirus.net, the correct link is http://www.pcviruses.net and I checked google "site:pcviruses.net and found 97 pages indexed. I checked http://www.belizeden.com and the site seems to have some custom code that needs an updated, but there are 10 pages indexed with google. http://www.smallvillage.org is working for me, but there aren't any pages indexed by google.
Back in Febuary, we at WhyPark and some of our customers got Google slapped due to duplicate content on some sites. I was one of the customers that was affected. I had 300 domains on WhyPark with most of them indexed and being served my adsense ads from my Google account. All my domains were removed from the index and all were stopped being served adsense ads.
We took two actions at WhyPark, one immediate and one longer term. The first was to develop an ad feed that our customers who could not use their third party ads could use. That's done and out of beta testing. PCviruses has the WhyPark ad feed, BelizeDen has our customers third party ads from Yahoo and Small Village has third party ads from Google. I waited a couple of months and tried my google adsense account and it still serves ads. Here is one of my sites with my personal Google adsense, moldbot.com.
The second action we took was to address the duplicate content issue. This change required a lot of new coding and will be released in September. Of the 300 domains I had about 200 were indexed and then removed from the google index. About 35% are now back in the index.
I hope this answers your question.
