Absolutely, but they make the pages look far more tacky than they need to be, and in doing so gives ammo to the "parking pages are bad" sector. They're of very little use. The appearance of the parking pages looks much better without them. They smack of desperation and should have died out with geocities pages. The higher quality parking pages (ones that are easily mistaken for content-filled) do NOT have them. One other thing - the "related links" should be optional on a per- domain basis, because if you have a domain name "mostdeliciousapples.com" you can guess what product will stat appearing, turning an innocent domain into a TM lawyers wet dream. _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
