I also like these classic parked sites: Rick Schwartz’s Candy.com and the healthcare.cc.

.mobi parking template at TrafficZ ?

eBusiness, Domains 4 Comments »

TrafficZ has added new parking templates. It now also offers a .mobi parking template that can be seen here:

healthfacts.mobi

Usually I like their parking templates although they do not necessarliy tap the full potential of a parking template. But this seems to be often the case in the industry.

And since I often have to work with .mobi sites and .mobi technology, I wanted to check their .mobi readiness score at ready.mobi. This is for me a selection criteria for a .mobi parking template.

To my surprise I always get the same error:

Then I looked at the code of the page and at first glance I discovered the following JS:

Using Javascript on a .mobi site is not recommended and usually not a good idea.

When I test the .mobi readiness by uploading the parking page to a folder on one of my servers I do not receive the error mentioned above but instead I get 5 real fails (Layout tables, no submit button, page size limit,…) and a score of 3 out of 5.

Since as the domain owner I count on direct navigation (user directly types in a domain instead of searching) to increase revenues, I expect the parking page to work properly on a mobile device. Alright, I do not expect a score of 5 but Javascript and the fails will not convince me.
