The Fool.com, had some good news for Marchex, in its analysis of the Yahoo-Microsoft Deal.
The Fool.com, which follows public companies, in analyzing the Yahoo/Microsoft deal said about Marchex:
“”Advertisers paying more for leads, as a result of Yahoo! shutting down its self-serve platform, will benefit the Web’s other lead generators.
“”Marchex is one of my favorites.
“”The local search specialist runs vertical advertising networks, the OpenList local search directory, and even a service that turns online leads into higher-converting phone calls. It also has an enviable portfolio of roughly 200,000 domain names, allowing it to generate its own organic traffic (instead of overpaying, as everyone else will).””
You got to love that the Fool.com recognizes the value of domains and the organic traffic they generate.
Tom Gardner, co-founder of the Motley Fool is no stranger to domains.
Mr. Gardner was the keynote Speaker at TRAFFIC East in 2006.
I do see that Marchex has a ton of domains, but I cannot point to a single one of them with a significant traffic presence as per alexa graphs. Your claim that this deal benefits Marchex is very dubious.

Marchex has some great domains.
However, I did not write this story, just reporting on it
