	[[Domain ~~Squatters~~]] are web sites which apparently exist solely to collect advertising revenue by pointing a popular or likely [[domain name]] at a search-engine front-end, doing minimal customization (often automatic) to make the site appear to match the domain name, and surrounding the search functionality with advertising (usually a combination of graphical and text advertising). The domain name is sometimes for sale at a high price.		#redirect [[Domain Squatter]]
