Can someone please provide a good explanation why DS doesn't place pictures on their pages like many other parking sites do?
if a visitor clicks an AD on an ungly looking page I thing that means that has more possibility - compared to another user visiting a nice looking site - to be really interested on this subject thus making it much more quality user and DS will pay you more.
PPC landing pages looking as a website may generate more clicks but less income - again it depends on the type of traffic domain etc BUT as a general "rule" I thing that since it clicked on this ungly page has more possibility to buy advertises products/services.
My feeling is that DS made a reasearch on this subject and decided to have this type of pages. Of course they are switching to more "user friendly" pages from time to time cause a % will might perform better.
I thing they are collecting this big numbers user behavior and categorizing them :
e.g. generic gaming traffic from Sweden : performs better in the generic page
typo gaming traffic from Sweden - this template with this ADS
link gaming traffic from Sweden - this template with NO direct ads etc etc .....
so instead of letting you Opt the domains as other's PPC's they use their statistics to find out what to display according to data from millions domains
