		<description>Totally agree with post #34.  Squatters knowingly register the trademarks of others.  There is a decade of case-law that supports the right of anyone (you, I) to buy a &#039;generic&#039; domain name and use it within the law. White-hat domain owners didn&#039;t roll-over when bad stories came out about the space 5 years ago, they aren&#039;t rolling over now.  Lots of sour grapes in the domain/tech/dns side of the Internet because so many &#039;clever&#039; techies spectacularly missed the boat. There are bad actors in every biz but you don&#039;t shut down Wall Street because some folks are insider trading. The last bastion of folks who don&#039;t want commerce on the net seem to be on the anti-domain owner bandwagon. Screw&#039;em.</description>

		<description>Didn&#039;t this guy give a useless speech at domainfest recently? 

Everyone who invested in domains is a squatter...get over it.  Proud to be a squatter and making $10,000 per day.  

I don&#039;t agree that parked pages are useless and hurt the internet.  People type in a domain and they get a doorway to all they want... The people advertising on the parked pages usually provide a quality product....

Type in just about any good parked generic domain and you have a doorway to the best sites on the web about that topic.

I am really unclear why you would be so down on peopke who own domains...Are you down on the guy who owns a plot of land in LA but has been waiting for the right offer to come along before selling it.  Had the corporations been so smart they would have bought the domains instead of crying about how they miseed the boat...</description>

interesting comments. so you believe/think that there is a huge/growing market of people who blindly type in a url term in the url/address bar, and hope that they might get a page/site with useful information. 

hell, even my mother doesn&#039;t do that!!! but if you&#039;re right, it might explain why some people continue to head to the AOL/Earthlink phishing sites... 

over time, given that some people are going to be upset because the pages that they&#039;re directed to don&#039;t meet their needs, i would hope that more people would really use the search mechanism to guage the &#039;closeness&#039; of the site to what the user is looking for. (which points out a glaring failure of the state of the art search process)

i&#039;ll also grant you that there will be some cases where the user looking for a given term, and wildly typing that term in the url, will get the user exactly what they&#039;re looking for. i&#039;m just not sold on the claim that this is &#039;good/better&#039; for the end user....

but i will tell you, if this gets to be large, then i know of a few people who will create a toolbar kind of app, to allow people to pretty much ignore being redireected to these kinds of sites... 

i personally get a little ticked when i do a search, get a information back for a page, only to select the page, and discover that it&#039;s no longer valid, and that it simply has ads on it....

different strokes/different folks!

<p>hell, even my mother doesn&#8217;t do that!!! but if you&#8217;re right, it might explain why some people continue to head to the AOL/Earthlink phishing sites&#8230; </p>
<p>over time, given that some people are going to be upset because the pages that they&#8217;re directed to don&#8217;t meet their needs, i would hope that more people would really use the search mechanism to guage the &#8216;closeness&#8217; of the site to what the user is looking for. (which points out a glaring failure of the state of the art search process)</p>
<p>i&#8217;ll also grant you that there will be some cases where the user looking for a given term, and wildly typing that term in the url, will get the user exactly what they&#8217;re looking for. i&#8217;m just not sold on the claim that this is &#8216;good/better&#8217; for the end user&#8230;.</p>
<p>but i will tell you, if this gets to be large, then i know of a few people who will create a toolbar kind of app, to allow people to pretty much ignore being redireected to these kinds of sites&#8230; </p>
<p>i personally get a little ticked when i do a search, get a information back for a page, only to select the page, and discover that it&#8217;s no longer valid, and that it simply has ads on it&#8230;.</p>
<p>different strokes/different folks!</p>
<p>peace</p>

		<description>I sense a &quot;bill o&#039;reilly effect&quot; purposely coating Marshall&#039;s article. &quot;Putrid stench of domain squatters&quot;?  Oh please.  That comment alone shows either the absolute envy of Mr. Kirkpatrick because he doesn&#039;t own more than a few non-productive domains, or it shows he&#039;s intellectually stuck in the year 2000.

The majority of domainers are purchasing keyword specific and relevant domains because the public is beginning to understand the very process of &quot;topic searching&quot; through their browser (or &quot;direct navigation&quot; as some people unfortunately have labeled it).  The more the public knows that if they want to find information on the produce industry, they can type in &quot;produceindustry.com&quot; and hopefully come to some website with the produce industry&#039;s information on it. (warning: this author owns the domain) Or type in the .org extension, because usually that&#039;s what organizations choose as their extension. The more the public becomes aware of typein searches (finding something by typing in the domain name), the more valuable keyword search term domains become.

Nobody is going to call Donald Trump a squatter because he bought good prime land at a cheap price, and now is selling it at millions in profit. The same applies to domainers, or &quot;domain investors&quot;, which is a legitimate business if you are staying away from typos and TM related domains. Most of us do.

Big business has been secretly buying up keyword domains for years, and for Marshall to not call THEM squatters is hypocritical. Type in Baby.com and see who owns it. How about &quot;computers.com&quot;? There are thousands of examples. Some companies actually create new company entities based on the power of the domain name itself.

One of the posters in this thread, David Ulevitch, stated something about Google and Yahoo knowing their advertisers are &quot;irritated&quot; about domainer landing pages sending them traffic. Ummm... is that why both Google and Yahoo send representatives to the domain industry conferences like the Domain Roundtable and Domainfest to speak? Do you think they come to rag on domainers? Get the facts before making comments that are rooted in some prehistoric domainer stereotype. Domain Portfolio owners, if you want to call them that, are a significant source of income for search engines selling PPC ads.  That&#039;s a fact, and it&#039;s rapidbly becoming more mainstream.

I am a domain consultant who works with many key players in the domain industry, and we all know one thing, even if it is possible that it might hurt the parking services who create the landing pages that seem to curl Marshall&#039;s butter --- if you&#039;re a company that sells online, and you don&#039;t own the generic keyword descriptions of your products or services, then your competitor will. Once your competitor owns those domains, they&#039;ve just shut you out of a &quot;one-beneficiary&quot; demographic -- which consists of people who type in domain names of the keywords they&#039;re searching for online. Only one company wins that traffic, and that&#039;s the company that owns the keyword domain. It&#039;s that simple logic that is causing huge players to come into this game and buy up tens of thousands of domains a month. 

This is what Sendori and other similar companies are banking on. Once a company buys the traffic from a relevant keyword domain, there is no longer a &quot;landing page&quot; full of competitors advertising on it. The company renting that traffic is now grabbing ALL the most actively-directed rifle-shot targeted traffic there is... the natural typein traffic. Internet marketing department heads who don&#039;t understand this concept will be replaced soon by those that do.

I&#039;m surprised that Techcrunch allowed this article to even be published on their site, because the writer is so ignorant of a billion dollar industry that every major company in the world is interested in, and pushes the internet ad industry with a lot of fuel.</description>

		<description>Hmm

I guess I just don&#039;t understand how this is exactly ground breaking, maybe i&#039;m just not getting this? It doesn&#039;t seem like a really novel idea; traffic generation sites and domain parking sites have been around for a while. i.e. www.targetedvisitors.info which also uses parked domains.

		<description>aha...

sound of lightbulb going off in the head/room....

there&#039;s the biz model!!!

as someone stated, create a plugin, that simply goes to google.com if you go to a spam/mispelled domain. ask the user of the plugin for $3-4/year for the service... 

in order to update the database, you download/process the basic whois/root list of domain names... you can pretty much automate this.
you also allow the user of the plugin to submit any &#039;garbage&#039; sites that the user might run into, that you&#039;ve missed. 

you can create an automated crawler to check the domains that you have in the garbage list, to make sure the domains are really garbage...

this could work, and it would be an interesting project....

ps... if you don&#039;t want to go this route because of the level of work, you can simply threaten to do it... and work out a deal with the guy who did myspace.. he should pay up in a heartbeat... 

if this approach was developed, and succeeded, it would kill his biz model!!

peace...

if you&#039;re serious, hit me up!
