Godaddy appears to be now be frequently redirecting parked domains to a site named searchhounds.com. For example:
These pages present a “content page” along with a list of search phrases related to the content of the article on the page.
Many of you will remember the older parked domain pages that would host a similar layout with a simple list of search phrases which each link to an ad-filled search result page. These old pages were serving google ads under a specific agreement that domain registrars would often use, implicitly allowing google ads to be shown on a domain that is parked and by definition, has no other content on the page or site. This was a special agreement because google ads (via Adsense etc.) usually are not allowed to be run on sites or pages with little or no content.
In recent history, the original google ads on the parked domains because a source for a lot of lower quality traffic clicking through to the advertiser links. Google went through a few phases of trying to clean this up, but eventually decided to give advertisers the option to opt out of the parked domain placements, later followed by automatically opting all new ads from them, and then finally making *all* ads opt out. Advertisers now will have to specifically opt into the parked domain ads if they want. Since the traffic quality from these parked domains tended to be lower quality (for a variety of reasons), many or most advertisers did not opt back into them.
Along this same time, Google was testing and releasing a new product that worked as a sort of hybrid between a normal Adsense for content ads and the parked domain ads – in that the “list of searches” could now be placed inside a page with other content. This product was named Related Search On Content, often called RSOC for short.
This RSOC product was intended to be used for website with content, but many sites that were allowed to run RSOC built sites that would auto-generate short AI content so that numerous pages could be generated on many topics, quickly.
At the time, I joked that soon parked domain services would just start redirecting their domains to pages on an RSOC-enabled content website.
And that is exactly what GoDaddy is now doing with the SearchHounds.com site.
