That's a TrafficClub page, but eventually I'll move it over to Sedo. I have more experience with Sedo, they have great stats, and I usually get pretty good CTRs once I've optimized the page.

I also feel that parked pages provide some value to a surfer's experience. However the biggest value, I think, is not that "There’s something there". Instead the biggest benefit of a parked page is that it helps to filter or narrow down a surfer's goals. By this I mean if I search for "cars" (for instance) that can mean a whole host of different things I am actually looking for. But if I encounter a parked page that helps me narrow down my search by make, model, location, accessories, etc, and then points me to sites where I can purchase these items, I would think that to be a useful service. A parked page then is a sort of targeted portal to help buyers find what they want. In fact sometimes a parked page might even show you categories you didn't even think of in the topic you are looking for. By the way, what parking service are you using for BiometricCars.com ?

It's all just a question of how much it costs vs. the conversions. If parking pages can direct users to buy products then they serve a useful purpose. Google has gone some of the way in letting advertisers bid separately on the content network but they do need to open this up to their partner network too. However parking page systems need a lot of work. They often seem to produce content irrelevant to the search query and seem a pretty blunt tool. Some domainers have realized this and are moving towards providing custom, targeted content. The Holy Grail here is doing this on a large enough scale at the right price. If the parking pages fund this development then they are putting money back into the web economy. In my view, there is no such thing as bad traffic.

Wrap it up whatever way you want. Parking provides no benefit to anyone but the person getting paid for the ads. Wrap it up whatever way you want.
