Here is another option if you are looking to get away from domain name parking. Today I spent about 15 minutes and tried to come up with a clean and easy template that I liked for a "search" development site.

Today’s project is NetTees.com

What I used to create the site:

The first thing I did was add the domain name to my hosting account at Hostgator (add domains). Went to my domain registrar and set DNS to my hosting. (about 2 minutes so far) Opened my xSite Pro 2.

Added a new website to my Project folder (one page test) and selected a Blank Page as my template. Set "name for site" Keywords, description. Add in page title and meta description and clicked Web pages/Design.

I then opened up xHeader and searched in the directory of pre-made headers, added in the NetTees.com text and saved the header.

Back in xSite I added the header banner to the web page and centered it.

I spaced down and added in the text to try and get people to use the search function… This is KEY in order for this type of page to work!

I then went to my Google Adsense account and created the search function that I wanted, set keywords to match the domain name and other settings needed. I copied the code from Google and went back into xSite, clicked the source tab and placed in the code.

I wanted the "search results" to display on the same page below the search box, so I went back to Google adsense and copied the remaining code for the search results. Back in xSite, I placed the second set of adsense code below the search box.

I set publishing details in xSite, Saved and Published.

Total time, 15 minutes.

Some things that I thought about doing was simply making a Logo for NetTees.com and adding that to the top instead of the header banner. I also thought about adding a couple linked lines of text below the "example search suggestions" that I put under the search box which I could use affiliate links for CafePress.com, TshirtHell.com etc. I could also put a For Sale link for the domain.

Although there is really little to no content on the site, your domain name, page title and meta description are your work horses for search engine rankings, so be sure to make those work for you!
