Had an interesting conversation the other day on the future of the pay per click industry.
My concern was that as more people "publish" or create sites just for advertising clicks, there will be a glut of clicks and clcik values will go down.
My friends point of view was that, regardless the number of domainers, clicks will always be limited by the number of people reaching those sites and the number of people willing to click on ads. That may have a huge growth rate at the moment, but it does have a limit. On the other hand, the "demand" side or advertiser side is still very young on the internet and is pretty much limitless. More companies will be doing online advertising and doing it more often. We might see a short term where supply of clicks is too high for the demand but in the long run demand for clicks will always be greater than supply. This will cause click values to rise rather than fall.
I tend to think now that maybe he's right. Your thoughts?
