But only one of those is a parked domain. The other is an actual site. Can you guess which is which?

The real site is Metro Mark Corp (the one of the left), the same company that was paying for Google Ads to nowhere two years ago.

Now, I’m no designer, but think a very basic requirement of any site is to not look like spam.
