Useless parking pages get high clicks because most Internet surfers are too stupid to recognize what it is they’re seeing.

> The average web surfer encounters parking pages and gets angry

I can’t agree with this – high click through rates that I get show that parking pages must be of use to people.

Look, the guy who wrote that article was Michael Arrington, former CEO at Pool. In other words, he was happy to take money from domainers, and he took a lot. (No telling what went on while he was there, either)

Now that he’s moved up in the world, the very domainers who made him a very nice living are now squatters.

Only a lawyer could be so shameless. He must have excelled in Abandoning Ethics While On A High Horse 101.

Frankly, 90% of domainers I deal with have more character than Arrington.

Agreed – I can’t stand squatters…but you can’t forget about all the people that are actually investing and running businesses!

TechCrush didn’t like my comment, instead of rebuttal they decided to remove it.
