Domain Shame!
It appears that the housing market and internet real estate market have one thing in common, everyone thinks they can cash in! My personal opinion is that they are both in need of a correction.
Have you tried looking for a good .com domain name recently? Try searching for something starting with AD. You will quickly realise that domains have been taken by;
Domain Auctioneers; Who's sole intention is simply to resell the domain at a 1,000 times markup. Domains are cheaper than ever
Adsense Junkies; Individuals who simply buy misspellings of established domains or potential type-in domains. Looking for their latest fix they throw a page up dedicated to adsense, then wait for the money to come in! With hosting from as little a $1 a domain it doesn't take much to make a profit. This volume game the junkies play is increasing internet real estate at record levels
Web Pimps; people who set up sites but its full of repurposed content which has no real purpose except the catch the odd internet searcher and filter them out through a paid link.
The biggest crook of all is Alt-Search, a far eastern gentleman who catches domain names when they drop (the process of picking up a domain that someone has not renewed). Alt-Search now has a following of wannabes all trying to replicate his success. The biggest web polluters of them all!
You don't have a cats chance in getting a good domain when it drops as the guys above have too many automated tools to pip you to the post.
The introduction of Google Adsense, Miva Partnership, Kelkoo & Yahoo! search have all caused one thing WEB POLLUTION, but who will clear it up?
