165,000,000 registered TLD’s (100,000,000 GTLDs, 65,000,000 ccTLDs)
75% of all domains are renewed
110,000,000 domains are developed (67%)
37,000,000 domains are parked (22%)
18,000,000 domains have no DNS settings (11%)

$2.8bn is the annualised total domain parking revenue.
10% of all parked domains earn 90% of the total revenue
75% of parked domains receive no type in traffic
72% of the total parking revenue comes from domains which are a typo of another site
21% of domain traffic is fraudulent (down from 38% 2 yrs ago)
Domain traffic converts at 28% to that of search traffic

In August of 2007 VeriSign released a report which stated that there were currently 138M registered domains, of which 23% were parked. It also estimated that 10% of the 14.5M new registrations that quarter were purchased with the intent of monetizing through parking.

So yea, the numbers in Ian's link seem about right.

Very interesting facts, thanks for the info, I thought it would be the other way around.

Wow, 11% with no DNS settings. That's much higher than I would have expected.

I agree.

They can point their nameservers to me

This is an amazingly high percentage of renewals. :imho:

110,000,000 domains are developed (67%)

67% of the domains being developed is an acceptable figure.

10% of all parked domains earn 90% of the total revenue

Bless those 10% community.

75% of parked domains receive no type in traffic

I've got no words now. :D

72% of the total parking revenue comes from domains which are a typo of another site

Are you sure about this!? I thought this % was quite less.

21% of domain traffic is fraudulent (down from 38% 2 yrs ago)

Thanks to a lot of registrars taking corrective actions against the offenders.

Im not sure about anything. If you read my original post you will see Im quoting from someone else's blog. Who seemingly is quoting from Microsoft.

You seem to have an alternative source of data, if so, please share your info with the community..

What is interesting is ISP using that 11% to gain income. Cox and a few other ISPs have started to display a custom page for domains that have no DNS resolvers.
