Most in the domain industry know the trickle-down effect has been definitely felt as domain name parking revenues have fallen since last year by about the same percentage, if not more. Talking to parking companies lately there are good indications we’ve hit bottom and things will now start to get better. This is to be seen.

The down trend indicate that parking comps are reading their own eulogy, and you Sahar may be in position to find a proper burial place for them. It is outrageus how domainers help them survive for no benefit to our cause. They failed to evolve and sold us to google and yahoo for prnnies. We can now say that google is the godzilla that no parking company can beat, but we domainers at large hava a chance.

If the domainers will take a stand against Google’s monopoly and enforce the removal of all references of domains in their portfolio from being listed, this Godzilla Google would be brought to its knees and tamed to display just boring untargetted stuff.
