http://www.johnon.com/500/todays-affiliate-marketer.html I think there's an opinion on that subject lying around here somewhere....

I have been imagining all the development possibilities for a domain that I own, uDecideContent.com. You have given me a great idea to play around with! On the other hand, since I own 1,000's of domains a better idea might be to call UTest and see if they want to expand. I also read with interest your post on the upcoming Moniker auction at the Affiliate Summit. You are a 100% correct about affiliate marketers not quite getting the value of a keyword domain name. With some SEO they could rank at the top of their search without paying Adsense top dollar till the end of time. A lot of domain owners are holding on to their keyword affiliate domains until they catch on. The market for domains climbs higher every year and to be honest, with a little development of our own we can be at the top of the search with their ads on our parked page! The cost per click to rank #1-3 on the page multiplied times the estmated clicks/day multiplied times 365 days in a year can be in the 5-6 figure range! Multiply that times 10 years and you can see why the domain owners are holding out - or why some domains have such high reserves at auction. Until business "get's it", we develop our domains as our time and resources allow, using the current market to determine priorities. I actually submitted some killer generic affiliate domains for this auction and I am just waiting for Moniker to send out the complete catalogue to see which ones are "in". I am curious to test the waters to determine if the affiliate industry has caught on yet. If not, there is always next year! Awesome post.

What you point out is why the whole "make money online" is doomed to fail. The majority of them are failing to adapt and think big (or at least like a real company). They sit around and make stupid statements like SEO is a waste of time (<a href="http://www.45n5.com/permalink/the-best-seo-advice-you-will-ever-hear.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.45n5.com/permalink/the-best-seo-advice-you-will-ever-hear.html</a>) and it is from them because they can't see the big picture through their little affiliate mini sites.
