With the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Miami conference coming up October 17-20 at the Loew's Hotel on South Beach - the only T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show that Co-Founders Rick Schwartz and Howard Neu are staging this year - we hooked up with the long time partners for a preview interview. However, the conversation quickly morphed into one covering much broader ground once we started talking about recent changes in the industry and how the current business environment will be addressed at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Miami.

Schwartz said, "Domainers are not happy with the trends. They feel like they are getting the shaft while our so-called “partners” are rolling in the $$$ we are making for them...The end user pays $5.00 for a click, but we get 5 cents and we are supposed to believe that is an 80% cut? I think every domainer knows this is garbage and that it has to change. I believe that T.R.A.F.F.I.C. is going to start a conversation that Yahoo and Google cannot ignore. I have listened to their empty lip service for six years and now it is time for show and tell."
