As I’m not attending this week’s TRAFFIC East 2007 conference, I cannot provide live coverage. But I found John Andrews’ detailed coverage very interesting. John specializes in SEO, so he also gives his opinion on this side of the domain and website development business.
Humbled by T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Domainer profit margins: Michael Gilmour of WhizzBangsBlog.com knows his business. He presented numbers (I love to see numbers) on Google’s traffic acuisition costs and the percentage of ad revenue shared between Google, domainers, and parking companies. Guess what? Google’s share has gone down (-29%), domainer’s have basically stayed the same (-3%), and parking companies revenues have increased around 45% (since Q4 2005).

Another great source for articles about the TRAFFIC domain conference is, as always, DN Journal.
DN Journal’s Ron Jackson on Steve Forbes’ keynote address:
Forbes said the government will eventually try to siphon off a big chunk of that wealth through new taxes that could stifle Internet growth. He has long been an advocate of a flat tax rate to lower the burden on entrepreneurs and encourage investment in new enterprises. He advised domain owners to organize and be ready to combat new tax initiatives.
