The site is parked at sedo and makes $ 150,000 plus a year, wow. That means that sedo makes five to ten times this amount. This site does not even come up in the first two search pages of yahoo and google, using the search term -flashgames-
Back to the original question, how much can an average domaineer make in a year ?
Why would investors invest in domain names, as investments in parking services would get better returns ? Here is a quote from the article:
----------------
Analysts estimate these types of site, known as "domain parking," generate about 5% to 10% of search-engine revenue, putting the industry's annual revenue at about $600 million. "The profit margins are extraordinary," says RBC Capital Markets analyst Jordan Rohan. He predicts industry revenue could double to $1.2 billion within three years.
------------------
sedo claims to earn $ 2 million a month, at an annualised rate, this is less than 5% of $ 600 mln that the parking industry makes. Who is getting the other 95 % ?
