    AnarchyCookBook?

    Talk about making on some Gov’t lists being the owner of that domain. 🙂

    I agree, you have to use common sense, in domains.

    How did it work out for the guy who made whitehouse.com into a porn site?

    I’ll let you know when he is out of jail

    Remember most of these domains are ireits, and a FEW people know all the stats and how much each one makes.

    SOOO, I know that “thedog.com” is about 7 year ROI. Is that worth it to you?? If yes the price is cheap. For me paying more than 3 year ROI is tuff.

    Anything that ireit sells now are their revenue making domains that they saved for last to sell.

    TajMahal.com, hockeytalk.com etc.

    The Dog is a big business with a bad url:

    “The Dog Background”

    Japan’s #1 Puppy franchise!
    The immensely popular property that launched in Japan of 2000, took the country by storm! It has generated more than $300 million in sales.
    Artbank includes: 70 different breeds of dogs & over 100,000 puppy images photographed at unique angles where heads and bodies are adorably enhanced to give museum-like feel.
    Strong graphics complimented by a clean, white background sets it apart from all other puppy photography with its contemporary-driven look.

    Mouse over the dog art on the site- very neat!

    Thanks Owen. That might explain the occasional huge surges in traffic for my domain – TheDog (net).

    @”ireit”

    If traffic to TheDog.com is residual from a previously developed website, there is no way you can calculate a ROI since you’d have to assume a steady and constant rate of traffic for the life of the domain. Realistically, that traffic will follow a downward curve like the graph of an exponentially decreasing function like e^(-x). For example, you might get 1,000 uniques this month but only 500 6 months from now and only 250 a year from now and so on. In that case, the ROI is not truly 7 yrs and it might take forever to recoup the investment if at all.

    I find most of my domains (on ppc websites) are seeing less results.
    So, trying to establish a set ROI on any parked domain is not logical.

    You should not calculate the long term ROI on a domain like you could with a municipal bond.

    But, your point is valid that backlinks disappear (or lose their effectiveness) over time. If anything, the majority of them disappear within a year.

    You also have to keep in mind that PPC can be improved upon. Whether by eliminating levels of rev share or by tweaking keywords and templates. Last week I switched a parked domain that had tanked back top an older photo I had stored and the revenue has now doubled. The image reflects the ethnicity of the visitor which I know from traffic studies when the domain was on my own server and site. If someone buying the domain has this figured out, they can immediately improve the odds of return.
