Welcome to the DomainNameWire.com newsletter.

As the year comes to a close, many in the domain
industry are looking forward to 2014.

2014 is sure to be a big year for the domain industry
thanks to the introduction of new top level domain
names.

Could it also be a big year for domain name parking?

Can a business that has suffered a dreadful decline
over the past five years finally perk up?

Frank Schilling, who owns several hundred thousand
domain names and his own parking company, thinks so.

I'd say it's possible that the decline will stop, and
also possible there's a small rebound.

Part of the reason is that Google, by far the largest
provider of parked domain ads, took the better part of
2013 to clean house.

It made it harder to scam the parking channel. It also
took lots of control away from the parking companies.

Making it harder to scam was great news to legitimate operators.
Taking control away from the parking companies, on the other
hand, resulted in a revenue drop.

Yet keep in mind Google's goal: make sure the domain
channel provides value to advertisers and thus continues
to be a going concern.

As advertisers come to appreciate the domain channel's
quality, it's possible we'll see some lift.

Will domain parking have a big year? I doubt it. Could
the downward pressure finally abate?

I hope so. But I've learned to not hold my breath.
