Domain name holding pages link back, good or bad?
-
We are a web design and hosting company
But when we register domains for clients, or they take email only or a name is parked we have it using a holding page which can be seen as follows:
is this a good thing?
Bad thing?
Could it would it should it benefit our rankings?
Should we do more to make it look less like our main site and actually try to use it better to help rank our other services pages?

Links from a holding page won't help. Drop the concept. Forget short-cuts. Invest in decent content. Push that content and reap the rewards
