    Hello,

    I have bought a domain name from godaddy a long time ago, and never changed its DNS. I didn't notice until today that godaddy parks domain names you buy from them.
    I am just curious: do they earn money from all the parking they do?

    They make some money from it, because there are millions of domains, but is not that significant. What they do it mostly is for branding.
    Then the brand generates more sales.;)
