millions of people.<p>The goal of a landing page is to optimize to users' interests.  Therefore, it shows advertising for the most suited (ctr<i>ppc) advertiser.  It is quite an effective mechanism to direct traffic to the person most willing to pay for it.  It's that brilliance and scale which I personally think is the end of the domaining industry (won't explain, will write a long article... soon).<p>So back to your argument of 'doing better': that is a VERY slippery slope.  When you start to say one use is </i>more* legitimate than another you are essentially censoring free speech.  If I own cars.com and just want to picture of my dog who is called Car, is that wrong?  What if I only use the domain for email and redirect all the traffic because I don't want to do anything.  The minute you say you can 'do better' you are taking your own beliefs and subjecting everyone else to them.
