Do-it-yourself domain parking issues

[Yaffiliate]

I have a handful of domains that get a small amount of type in (between 300 - 2500 visitors a month).

I have found that using an aggregator service I make next to nothing, and I can make significantly more building a landing page and hosting adsense or publisher ads on it.

However, I have heard that I can loose my adsense, publisher license for this. I have to offer "value" to my visitors. Is that true?

Why are there different rules for the aggregators and private individuals?

Am I at risk?

The pages must meet the adsense TOS , including content , contact info etc..

Because Aggregators have to follow a different set of rules, they must have anti-fraud detection systems in place and meet a whole plethora of other standards.

Of course you have to offer value to your visitors, that is why its called adsense for sites and the other is called adsense for domains.

Think of it from an advertiser point of view. It would be like advertising a Bentley in a public toilet in the ghetto, people might click on the ad but they aint gonna buy.

Well, I am not sure I agree with that statement, but I understand the point you are trying to make.

However, don't advertisers understand that much of the type-in market is in fact people who are looking for the very products they are selling but simply too unsophisticated to ask a search engine to pair them up with those advertisers.

Anyway, after I received these posts I looked through the TOS for adsense and Yahoo Publisher. I do see that you are not allowed to park domains and or build pages specifically for adsense ads. However, I could not find anything in the Yahoo TOS that says they disallow this, in fact, when I was on the phone with one of there client service reps I seem to remember mentioning I was doing this and they did not have a problem with it. Perhaps he did not understand what I was referencing.

Has anyone seen anything that says Yahoo does not allow this?
