Best & most misleading posts I’ve seen

I saw this post from Ron Jackson & thought with his reach this is fantastic.
He shows that he was making pennies from parking with good keyword domains compared to development of his domains using a service. The difference is tremendous. If you can’t develop much just do a fraction. It will make a difference.

Here’s the Post

Then I saw this

Google Now Enables International Targeting of .Co Domain Name
http://domainnamewire.com/2010/08/04/google-now-enables-international-targeting-of-co-domain-name/

It states that Google gave a confirmation about the ability to target your domain to global users after you confirm the website in Webmaster tools.

Notice the words WEBMASTER & WEBSITE

When I think of domainers & the 300,000 people who are registering the .co I’m thinking DOMAIN & Parking page.
Google does not view parked domains as websites & that confirmation won’t really help domainers. Unless you are developing those .CO that Google confirmation won’t mean much. Sorry but it’s true.

Google means sites where you might advertising a business service & continue to add content & attract users.

Truly .co is pretty expensive, the economy is bad & I don’t want people wasting money.
