		<description>Yeah, what my boss said! ;-)

Domainers, please note that when Craig Rowe takes the time to post, it&#039;s because falsehoods being spread around, innocently or otherwise, need to be addressed because believing these erroneous comments, you may miss great opportunities for your domains. 

WhyPark will definitely open up your eyes to amazing opportunities with your longtails and ccTLDs. We have the track record to prove it. I will gladly help anyone with ccTLD&#039;s or longtails learn how to get value on their domains quickly through WhyPark. You can email me at successclick  (at) gmail  .com.

Thanks Dub-A, for allowing WhyPark to respond.</description>

		<description>Michael,

I&#039;d be happy to share some stats with you showing traction from &quot;out of the box&quot; WhyPark sites in addition to those that are customized.  Drop me an email at craig@whypark.com and I can send you some third-party stats showing traffic and search engine growth.  

One thing I want to clarify though is that we don&#039;t scrape.  We pay license fees, have direct partnerships and manually review a large amount of user submitted content.

We&#039;re essentially competing for domains being developed, but we&#039;re definitely different models.  I think there&#039;s a place for both models personally.  I agree, development isn&#039;t easy and I always recommend custom content and link building, which is why we offer each service.  It&#039;s not for every domain or portfolio though, so we leave the choice up to our customers.

I can absolutely validate our model with stats and welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Thanks,

Craig Rowe
President

		<description>I actually did read your entire post, although half of it was a diatribe about my handle on a blog comment system and the side bar on my blog.

I am aware that you offer most of the services we offer, although I didn&#039;t see anything in your &quot;Domain Stimulus Package&quot; about an actual design (you mention WhyPark will select one of their standard templates for you), or what extra pages of content cost, since you only offer three on-site and one that gets submitted to article directories.

Please don&#039;t put words in my mouth.  I said your core product (scraped content) is marginally better than parking, not that your entire service is &quot;no better than parking&quot;.  If everyone used your full-service option and then paid someone for a better design and an extra page of content they would be pretty well off.

But your core product is selling a pipe dream, that you can have a site in minutes that will do well in search engines.  If someone doesn&#039;t add unique content, even if they are lucky enough to get indexed for a few days or weeks, it will inevitably end in an SE ban.

I really enjoyed this comment though: &quot;I think Minisites.com is off to a good start, and after a few years, may catch up to WhyPark’s abilities at this moment.&quot;

For a company that claims to be so advanced... it really took a long time (three years) to figure out one of the most basic SEO principles out there... friendly URLs.  Will it take a decade to put ALT tags on your images? (Joking, I don&#039;t know if you do that or not.)  Anyway, since you conceded the last word I guess we&#039;ll pick this up in email :)
