What is Domain Parking

A domain name that has been purchased and is not being used for web site space. If a person buys a domain name, they can put up a notice that the new website is coming soon or if they don't, the domain registrar can place advertising links on the domain and they generate money from the inbound traffic that click on the advertising links.
