As people become more sophisticated about how they use the Internet, they're going to see less and less of those useless parked pages...and when they do see them, I'm guessing fewer people will click.

Once again, a case of the lazy man taking the most pains! :) Why aim for revenue through such a passive source as parked domains when with a touch more effeort you can brand your efforts, display banner ads leading to offers that bring in tens of dollars commissions, or better still, leverage your own efforts and create and market your own cutting-edge products online?

They are what are keeping me from diving into the domain market huge. I'd prefer to focus on a handful of sites, and build them up as true resources, not portals to be clicked-through for a few cents. That's just completely unsustainable.
