Who makes those domain pages? I'm tired of it!

Hello,

You ever been searching for new domain names to buy when you type in random stuff to find out that it's taken and you think "who would have thought of that?" and you type in the URL and you get that page....what is that page?

The page... has the domain name on the top, a picture or two, and a bunch of text link ads. Who makes those pages?! Is that some sort of company? It's a canned page, you see it all the time! Can somebody like myself sign up to buy random domain names and make money from those ads? Whats the deal with them?

Thanks!

They are default pages put by Network Solutions, Godaddy and other Domain Registrars.

It's not always the companies that do this - individuals who ahve bought a domain and don't have any use for it park the domain and display this advertising on it and then get paid for click throughs.

It's annoying, but it's a stupid fact of life at the moment

First of all, if you thought of it yourself, it would be just as easy for someone lese to think of it.

Second, why are you "looking for domain names to buy"? Seems to me a more appropriate use of your time would be to "look for domain names to fit a website idea that I have"...unless, of course, you're a domain squatter (which actually violates intellectual property in some cases, by the way).
