Not to be ignored, especially for some with large direct traffic, but once you have market traction on a domain it dwarfs type in in most cases. @no spamming (Penguins fan) type in (direct) is just one piece of traffic pie.

The biggest advantage to domaining is the typein traffic and then branding remebering domain name. IMO, not a lot of people would put a curse word (unless it's sex) in a typein, Any other advantage is just as availble on a seconday regular priced domain. I do limited international work but... when I found InternationalWebsiteBuilders was available I decided it was time to take that name from a local business registration to the internet. I still don't do SEO outside NA... but know who to refer the potential clients to. John, I agree with the point but… the example was poor.

Everyday you have people coming regardless of what Google does to your site - and everyday you can reach out to that audience and make them loyal to your site. I'm glad most SEO's think that way - leaves the better domains for the rest of us. Speaking from experience of having a domain with type-in traffic, it is a HUGE advantage starting out.

I couldn't pass up the price versus value - once developed. The search volume is there, but the type in traffic is not so it didn't move. I think top shelf SEO's are already looking into domain development. Heck, this blog has been speaking about it for some time already. My only problem with Funshit.com is I wouldn't know how to develop it. I can SEO/SEM in competitive markets for someone else's products or services, but how to build out a site like funshit.com and make good money... not a clue. THAT, in my opinion, is what prevents search professionals from doing more of these projects. If you were not brought up in the affiliate/alternative environment it's hard to know what to do. I came though ecommerce and can push products well, but I have never really touched affiliate marketing.
