See Julia's second quote in the post above. You can definitely still make money in it, but it’s nowhere near what it was. See Julia’s second quote in the post above.

What I read is this business does not give "big money". Maybe not as big as affiliate marketing. But I think there is nothing wrong to try it. It is good business opportunity. No wonder many player joined. I’ve read and heard that domain name business has been seem become popular again recently. What I read is this business does not give “big money”.

I'm not much for game-changers. Maybe it's lack of huge ambition or A.D.D. (or both), but I like smaller sites that I can manage on my own -- especially when there's still <i>plenty</i> of money to be made with sites like that.

In my world this isn't development, just hacking some text and images together. Cheers Sahar Mini-site development, I’m all for it.

Even then, though, the number of "good" PPC domains is dwindling rapidly. PPC revenue just isn't anything like what it once was, and it's just going to get worse. And just to be clear, I'm not talking about developing sites like <a href="http://www.assista.com/" rel="nofollow">Assista</a> or <a href="http://www.bido.com/" rel="nofollow">Bido</a> -- sites that are trying to change the game like eBay and Google did. I'm talking about doing some very basic build-out on sites about <a href="http://www.engineerjobs.com/" rel="nofollow">engineer jobs</a> or <a href="http://www.oxfordmississippi.com/" rel="nofollow">Oxford, Mississippi</a> -- sites that are simple, but that generate several multiples of the revenue that PPC would <i>and</i> that build enterprise value the longer they run.

The issue was and still is, if you own good PPC domains, should you rush to develop them? And is it better? With development, there are more casualties than winners, still. Cheers Sahar Shane,
