The Domain of Domainers

Follow the money. . ..  Do you want to know how the "domainers" are making money off of the internet these days? CNN's Bu;siness 2.0 magazine has a good article about Kevin Ham, who is presumably the best at everything from typosquattintg and domain tasting, to straight domain name brokering.  The article covers some of the creative ways these folks are squeezing money out of the net these days (to the tune of perhaps $70 million a year for Ham), and it explains to some extent why the web looks more and more like an endless vista of parked pages cluttered with random ads and links.  Thanks to David Canton for pointing out that article.
