Google will cut you off at the end of the year.

The “deadline” to change your domains parked on Google parking services from URL forwarding to DNS has passed, but apparently a lot of people haven’t made the switch yet.

Sedo sent an email out to clients this stretch encouraging them to comply with the changes. Apparently the final, drop dead deadline is January 1.

As stated by the email, Google tested not monetizing URL forwarded domains for three day in the middle of November. My guess is this brought to attention a lot of non-compliant domain traffic.

DNS parking has always been the encouraged method of domain parking. Some people who rotated their domain traffic between sites used URL parking, although the biggest rotation service (Above.com) recently shifted to a DNS forwarding system.
