Not yet.

What I do see (if this makes any sense at all) is I see the market coming to me.

Traffic is up significantly.

Domainers want to see money from parking or from clicks.

Developers want to see traffic and their site used.

I am a domainer/developer and like to see both sides to this.

Site usage is very high but people are not clicking on Adsense or AdMob enough to make other domainers see value.

But Dammit - I like the fact that I have built some sites that people are actually using.

Ask yourself this...

when you're walking around with the mobile phone and you are looking for something do you want to land on and waste your time on a parked page?

Hell no.

My guess is 80% of the names in any extension are parked pages.

That's just a guess.

Could be higher or lower (I think higher).

For long term growth and potential, where do you want to be?

Parked?

Or actually being used.

Think about it.

Some people are in for a real shock and I can not wait to hear every one crying and screaming about how unfair it is.

There is a real shocker about to be dropped on the Mobile and PC world from a major search engine.

I dare say the .mobi after-market is going to heat up big time.

I got a glimpse of this a few nights ago and just shook my head.

The only thing I am concerned with is a spike in reverse hijacking attempts or bogus WIPO's and UDRP's.
