    Gmai.com awarded to google is a very interesting case (in Spanish language though). 3-members panel made it clear that displaying scummy surveys like of known “rewards channel center”, where a free ipad is offered in exchange to personal information [and, in fact, they’d charge customers so it is not free’] IS bad faith. It is a big red flag for all domainers parking domains through major parking providers. Last time I checked, this so-called survery was one of the main zero-click configuration destinations offered by domainsponsor for all domains [random %%% of traffic if no opt-out received], bodis (for domains blocked by google), and, if I am not mistaken, sedo (not sure).
