This "thousands of type-ins" each day... Spare me. There's millions of sites that claim thousands of type ins and there's just not enough confused people to go around.
Feel free to sponsor a study showing that ANYONE whatsoever follows links from parked pages they've been redirected cause they typed in. Till then, your guess is as good as mine, and I have yet to meet that golden idiot.

I have never followed a link to google.com.
I type it in every time.
As far as people following links on parked pages: If that's not happening then the idiot is not the domain owner but the one paying for the link on the domain. Parked domains get paid by the click on those links and I can tell you that people are buying those links. I have a handfull of parked domains and can see that.
I can make more money by developing those domains but there comes a point where a domain owner cannot develop 100's of websites, so parking still brings in money.
