Monetizing domain traffic at internet scale.

GMO Registry US, Inc. builds Taku — an ad-technology platform that routes parked-domain traffic into premium search advertising, turning dormant inventory into measurable revenue for the people who own it.

Registry heritage

Part of GMO Registry, Inc. — an established operator of global top-level domains, with the infrastructure discipline that comes from running critical internet naming services.

Quality before volume

We screen every visit before it reaches an advertiser. Protecting feed integrity matters more to us than inflating a traffic number.

A U.S. company

Incorporated in Delaware, structured for direct contracting with American advertising partners and domain portfolio holders.

The Platform

Taku turns idle domains into working inventory.

Every day, millions of visitors land on domains that host no content — typed directly, followed from an old link, or arriving from expired campaigns. Taku captures that intent. We route each visitor through our infrastructure into premium search advertising feeds, serve results that genuinely match what they were looking for, and share the resulting revenue transparently with the domain owner.

Traffic in, relevant advertising out — revenue shared with the domain owner.
Why now

The ground just shifted under domain monetization.

Taku is a young platform, and deliberately so. The market it serves was redefined in early 2026, and we are building for how that market works now — not for how it worked before.

Until 2026

One default path

For more than a decade, a single incumbent product set the terms for how parked domain traffic was monetized across the entire industry.

February 2026

The incumbent exits

Google retired Ads for Domains. Overnight, domain owners worldwide lost the default route from traffic to revenue.

Today

An open field

Owners are actively looking for partners they can trust with their portfolios. We are onboarding those early partners now, and building the platform alongside them.

How it works

Four steps, fully automated.

From the moment a visitor arrives to the moment revenue is settled, every stage runs on our own infrastructure.

STEP 01

Connect

Domain owners point their unused domains at our nameservers. No code, no maintenance.

STEP 02

Screen

Every visit is scored in real time so that only genuine human traffic reaches advertisers.

STEP 03

Match

Traffic is routed to the ad feed most likely to serve relevant, high-value results.

STEP 04

Settle

Clicks are measured, reconciled and paid out on a transparent revenue-share model.

Capabilities

What we actually build.

Domain monetization only works when the traffic is genuine, the routing is fast and the numbers reconcile. These are the six things we engineer against — every one of them a data problem before it is an advertising problem.

Resilient infrastructure

DNS, hosting and landing-page delivery engineered for low latency and high availability — the discipline our registry parent operates by.

Traffic integrity

Every visit is scored on live behavioural signals so that bots and invalid traffic are stopped before an advertiser ever pays for them.

Adaptive feed routing

Search ad feeds are evaluated continuously so each visitor is sent to whichever source will answer their intent best.

Signal-driven optimization

A closed measurement loop — impressions, clicks, effective rates — feeds back into how every route is tuned, automatically.

Transparent settlement

Partner-level reporting and reconciliation, so every party can verify what was earned and exactly why.

Direct relationships

We work directly with feed providers and domain owners rather than through opaque intermediaries — fewer hands, clearer accounting.
