		<description>Anunt

Based on its Alexa and Compete traffic estimates much less than $2K per day.

Porn WAS making reportedly based on its auction price of $7.5M (didn&#039;t sell then but $9.5M months after) 5X.

But that was a few years ago.

Now adult parking revenue is well less than 1/2 of that</description>

		<description>How much do you guys think sex.com would make from a parking page per day on average?
I think porn.com was making around $2000/day from parking page...how much do you think sex.com will make?
Parking pages are boring...but at the end of the day, it&#039;s all about $$$$$.</description>

		<description>@ DomainsPriceWorldRecord

&quot;these are not good days for multimillion$ domains… just think that Google hasn’t paid a cent for nexusone.com that’s still owned by Peter Villanueva&quot;

Actually, I believe that&#039;s a harbinger of what&#039;s to come for keyword domains in general and why centralizing your brand and developing products outward from amaster brand is the way of the future, as far as large scale ecommerce goes. Businesses seem to be much more concerned with going down the path of google.com/phone- thus emphasizing the nexus between the product and the brand- than they are &quot;nexusone.com&quot;. 

Sure, the lucky guy who owned nexusone.com is going to get a metric @ssload of traffic, but is he allowed to profit from that traffic- in it&#039;s most synergistic fashion- without running the risk of having the name jerked for the cost of a UDRP? I don&#039;t know... 

The small online ebusiness is well served by owning great, generic keywords, but &quot;big business&quot; is far more concerned with product issues relating to their brand, which is the exact opposite of whatever benefits are offered by a&quot;generic&quot; name. 

Obviously, from this we can exclude the supernova names that define entire industries, but even in those cases, there are big businesses that can afford to buy them, comprehend their worth yet still choose to focus on branding.

As time goes on, I&#039;m starting to wonder if the incestuous logic held so dear by the domainer community might not be eventually chalked up under the historical &quot;Good Idea&quot; category, but generally ignored by industry at-large. We&#039;ve been waiting for industry to &#039;get it&#039; for quite some time. As best I can tell, they&#039;re going down an entirely different- and irreversible- path.</description>
