It's just a different game. I've picked up about 25 or so in the last few months that I think are very solid - not single-word generic solid - but still solid. I've focused on emerging markets and started reading journals and magazines to see what's new. Here's a couple quick examples, feel free to disagree but I think this shows it's still very much alive in some respects: turbinedealer.com, windturbinedealer.com - only 5-6 uniques a month, but incredibly high margin industry and green technology has potential in the future. 4kdisplay.com, 4kworkflow.com - next generation of video editing and high-end professional video. Both getting around 10-15 uniques a month but the gear they refer to is in the very high thousands. There is still opportunity, you just have to be slightly more creative. just my semi-professional opinion - but keep backing that truck up.

The only way forward from here is to identify niches which may develop traffic due to technical changes such as IDN or Dot Mobi. Of these two, however, I am pretty sure one will and the other will not! Yes sure you can build traffic to a name, but from what I can see you need to be looking at a development budget North of $20K, so why throw that kind of money at a domain that is questionably worth Reg Fee? It seems to me that New Reg game is basically over unless you are looking very much second to third line in IDN. Why put yourself through this hell? Buy something that is going to bring home the goods. If you want to stick with English, then build a business around a decent name that you buy in the aftermarket for a decent amount of money. This is going to be hard work but the rewards should be their. Online retailing is still in its infancy. High levels of profitability is still achievable, with hard work and the right business plan. If you are looking for exceptional rewards, then IDN is definitely the answer. Domain tasting has been a non-starter because of the low traffic due to lack of browser support. Many second line opportunities are still out there going begging. But why settle for second best? For low $xx,xxx you could surely still acquire something really inspirational that will attract dramatically growing levels of traffic in the coming months.
