Refimprove date June 2010 Wikipedia is not for advertising, nor is it a web directory. Don t add your links. Domain parking is the registration of an Internet domain name without using it for services such as e mail or a website i.e without placing any content on the domain. This may be done to reserve the domain name for future development, to protect against the possibility of cybersquatting , or to engage in cybersquatting. Since the domain name registrar will have set name server s for the domain, the registrar or domain name reseller reseller potentially has use of the domain rather than the final registrant. Domain parking can be classified as monetized and non monetized. In the former, advertisements are shown to visitors and the registrant gains revenue. In the latter, an Under Construction or a Coming Soon message may or may not be put up on the domain by the registrar or reseller. This is a single page website that people see when they type the domain name or follow a link in a web browser . Domain names can be parked before a web site is ready for launching. Parked domain monetization Domain parking may also refer to an advertising practice known as parked domain monetization used primarily by domain name registrar s and Internet advertising publishers to monetize type in traffic visiting a parked or minimally developed domain name . The domain name will usually Domain Name System resolve to a web page containing advertising listings and links.

The keywords for any given domain name provide clues as to the intent of the visitor before arriving. Another use of domain parking is to be a placeholder for an existing web site.

These addresses are not intended to be typed in directly by end users and hence are messy strings like acme.2e5n.10e30n.geo but rather, would be used behind the scenes by software looking things up by location possibly driven by GPS positioning in mobile devices . A number of schemes have been proposed or implemented in an attempt to classify Internet sites geographically many of them do not require anything special in DNS e.g., the GeoURL http geourl.org initiative . The .geo proposal can, hence, be criticized as making unnecessary use of a top level domain where it might have been implemented using subdomains elsewhere perhaps within .arpa , the domain allocated for infrastructure lookups , or with non DNS methods such as meta tags in Web sites. .geo was proposed to ICANN as part of the first round of new top level domains in 2000, but failed to gain approval, and there has not been any noticeable activity regarding this proposal for several years.
