I disagree with the 'in anticipation of selling it out to the company later on usually at an inflated price when they would later decide to venture into the internet medium'.
In most cases that simply is not true. The reason is to make money from people getting the company website address wrong then going to a parked page and clicking ads.

The replies have been spam, so I selectively removed those. The rest is content though, so I figured might as well let it stay readable by search engines and all.
