Absolutely. Any
PR is good for any domainer's portfolio. IMHO, that's probably why dnjournal.com was formed in the first place, to help sustain any value to the portfolio of Ron Jackson. I don't believe he owned any top-notch .coms, but he spent lots of $$$$ on .us and other extensions.
I'm not knocking the
PR end of it. Any
PR also helps my collection.
Too bad characters like Kevin Ham are held up as shining examples of what's possible in the domain business. Sure, the guy made lots of money, and I can't fault his tenacity. But I believe he's not one of the good guys who is helping steer the Internet toward 100% usefullness.
I liken the whole ppc & typosquatting phenomenon to the vision of money falling off of a brinks truck on the road, or bank robbers throwing cash out of the window of the get-away car in order to clog traffic behind them. The individuals stopping to pluck the fallen cash from the air are good for the economy because they have more money to spend, but they tend to clog and slow the progress of traffic. That's what ppc schemers and typosquatters do, they slow the progress of a useful Internet.
