Internets.. let me introduce you to Domains.org. Domains.org, meet the internets. The domain was registered ONCE in 1996, and has been held by the same owner since then.

It currently ranks as #9 in Google for the coveted keyword - domains.

It gets a pretty impressive amount of typein traffic, and search traffic.

It makes more annually than most affiliate marketers do, and this domain hasn’t even been developed the way it will be over the next few months.

We’re currently looking for partners. If you provide any type of service or product, and you’d like to pitch us, contact me.

We don’t need developers/designers, so if that’s your gig, there are plenty of other outlets for you guys.

I just want to tell everyone who got pissed off at me over the last week due to me not being around to respond to their emails or messages, THIS is why I have been so busy and secretive. I still have to finish writing out the architecture project plan for it, but this is THE project that I’ve been looking forward to. Big thanks to my new partners on it too.

In a few months or so, we’ll start dropping more information on what our plans will be for developing it. I can say that we’re going to be creating services for both the everyday naive business owner that just needs a domain, and also for the secretive domainer market industry.

I won’t be leaving WickedFire, but I may end up taking a less active role in posting and dishing out information. I still have plenty of big plans for WF, so I can’t just cut myself off just yet.

Disclosure - Jon is a friend of mine and a partner in certain ventures. However, I have no personal stake in particular acquisition.

I saw his post, I'm member @ WF also even though I don't post much... As for domain having traffic? OVT shows zero so I'm lost :)

Since I have been under an embargo ever since he started the negotiations and haven't had a chance to talk to him since he disclosed it, so I can't reveal any figures. But I can tell you that he got a hell of a deal and it indeed makes a fair bit of money.

Jadson: To put it in perspective, the better AMers that hang out on WickedFire are possibly in the top 10-20% of the AM field.
There are people on there that make the average annual wage in a day or two of pretty lax work...

It helps if you have targetted traffic domains, or targetted email lists.

Hugegrowth: Not always... some of these guys just happen to be really good at making sure their domain has some good SERP via SEO and backlinking

JRBhosting & HarveyJ - the statement said 'most' affiliate marketers - I believe you are refering to the top few %.

Great domain there, thanks for the report, Lord!
Lets see if Jon builds some nice site there.


'Most" affiliate marketers lose money in PPC :D
