They were put as part of the supplemental index in the past but that has since been merged with the main index. In effect though, they do not carry any search engine traffic and that means other strategies are needed. Joel, Exactly. My point is that for some queries, a mini-site is all that is needed. Not every query needs a huge website. Mike,

The best way to make money long term with a website is to find out what visitors to your site want and then give it to them better than anyone else. After all, directing their searchers to the site that best gives the searcher what they want is exactly what Google or any other search engine wants to do so that they can satisfy people using their search engine and hopefully increase their market share.

Well that wasn't the assumption. I assumed that the mini-website needs to be indexed. Parking landing pages are not indexed and you could create a mini-website that acts in the same way as a parking page. Sounds like another blog post in the making ;) OK.

However I made one crucial assumption when writing this post. I wonder if anyone can spot it. :) Hi Mike,

As always :) Most of the mini-site services out there, that are offered towards the domainers crowd, fail both SEARCH ENGINE quality tests and the USABILITY from a users perspective. A good site is one that provides custom and unique relevant information. It can be a few paragraphs... It can be a few pages... It can be a few links. The definition of mini-site can be 1 page to you, 10 pages to me.. Ask somebody else and they will tell you 5 pages.. The definition of quality of one site may be A+ to me.. To you B- and to other people it may suck.. Worrying about this stuff too much is rather pointless, but there are certain rules and guidelines to follow when launching any type of site. Small or large. Follow those basics....and you shall succeed. It's simple! Keep up the good work with the posts. I enjoy reading your blog.. All the best, Mike from NY www.WannaDevelop.com Barry, good analysis.. As always :)
