Reader Advice: On Parked Domains Turned In To Sites and Google Search

Reader AdviceJMMO Reader Alex Arencibia asked here: I have a quick question about your cash parking experience. I recently took one of my parked domain names and built a website around it. For some reason, Google will not pick up the domain name under any of the keywords we are marketing it with. The site is well designed and full of features that attract search engines and keyword searches. Yet, I am wondering if the fact that the domain names was Cash Parked for about 4 month, if google somehow has it listed or tagged as a Parked site and will not allow it to be marketed? Any help would be appreciated.

To which another JMMO Reader, Leonard Holmes, shared this response: “I believe that google does not want to index parked pages, so they will indeed try to weed these pages out of their search results. If a site is later developed they usually do pick it up eventually. I imagine that they are slow in doing this because they intentionally do not spider parked sites very often.”

I’d be interested to know what other people think about this as well.
