Made For AdSense (MFA)
These exist for one reason and one reason only, to put advertisements (read Google AdSense) and make money. The content is not considered important. Some MFA experts even consider good content to be a bad idea because the visitor may actually read it instead of clicking the advertisement link!
The Parked Domain
A variation of type-1. Failed MFA domains often end up here with a different owner.
The top domain name speculators do make a lot of money through parked domains and by buying and selling domains. However, a large number of domains are just parked at the registrar. The only thing the domain owner does is pay the registration fee to the registrar. The domain registrars must love these customers!
Email Grabber
These are the ones interested only in grabbing your email address. These often include an offer to turn visitors into millionaires if they subscribe to the newsletter. These are sometimes padded with some extra stuff to make it compatible with what Google considers “good user experience”.
Random Personal Blog
When you think your personal opinion on everything under the sun is very important to the rest of the world!
The good ones become famous and go on to bigger things. Some do alright and even make some money with AdSense. The vast majority adandon their blogs after a while!
The affiliate multi store
These are created by people who bought that $29 ebook on how to make “instant money” as an affiliate. The website is then filled with affiliate banners in all colors and shapes that offer to make everyone a millionaire. Most of these sites never really get any traffic. Some of these turn into “guru-bashing” blogs after a while.
Abandoned orphans
This is where many of the sites from above finally end up! Most sites get abandoned because the owner either got bored or didn’t have an actual plan. Some abandon their efforts because they didn’t see any quick results (the ebook said making money is so easy!)
