Where's the Money? - Poll

Blossom · 09-02-2012, 03:25:19 PM

I think you're asking in a very biased place to be honest. Ask on Acorn and you'll get results skewed to domains, ask on Warrior and you'll get results skewed to ebook and clickbank products, ask on Web Hosting Talk and you'll get results skewed to hosting.

The problem is that not many people have tried enough of those things in enough depth to be able to give a solid, well-founded opinion.

Development is where the money is but in saying that there are so many bad developed sites out there including some done by domainers or at least by their coders,to find a development team which can do a proper job is a big job in itself,i have two full time developers ho work for me a coder and a webdesigner,not cheap !

The long tail really does add up.

And decent pages for each long tail phrase reinforce the relevance (and ranking) of the main domain name term in search. Win Win.

The joy of Geos is the long tail - Not sure how many permutations there are of business categories x city names, but it's quite a few... i.e 'barbers harlow' 'barbers stockport'. If they'd all rank on page 1 of Google I'd be laughing

Developing affiliate sites has crept into the lead on a domaining forum, has the industry changed?

The moneys at the "TOP of the tree!"
The higher you go, the more you get.

True?

Developing still in the lead, given that there was a trend for parking names previously does that mean parking is officially dead and developing mini sites or full blown sites is now where the money is?

Parking isn't one of your options, thats like asking someone if they want ketchup, mayo or brown sauce then declaring salad cream as unpopular.

Is there a prize for whoever gets the right answer?

Quite right, I will edit my post.

my vote is on flipping - and still new territory out there to be registered. But the domain investment won't be from wishful thinking availability anymore. (hasn't been for a long time anyway)

If you can identify with new/immerging/under-expolited markets, then there's still lots of opportunity out there.

I won't be thanked for saying this but if your going to be creative YOU have to operate in .com - nothing less
