However, one must keep in mind that the web is searchable to people who use it proficiently. I can find anything on here, as I am sure you can Alec; but most people can not. I am a pretty avid domainer, and the way I look at it is that when people type in a keyword into the url bar, they want to find content relating to that keyword. All my parked sites do is redirect them to where they want to go. ~92% of the people in the world are on the web at their job, at home, etc. There are an incredible number of people who underutilize it. A lot of bloggers take things that interest them and repost the content or comment on it, making the information available to a wider, more specific audience. It is much like a ripple in a pond. You throw one rock, the ripples get only so far. You throw a handful of rocks, there are more ripples in different areas causing the impact to be more widespread.
