What counts for me are:
1) bottom line - how much am I earning on my domain traffic?
2) stats - so I can see which names might benefit by a different strategy and which types of names earn the best
3) ability not to interfere with sale of my names
4) integrity - no surprise visits to porn sites, no popup hell
If the bottom line is better than the alternatives while meeting my other 3 criteria, I don't care how many parties are splitting the revenue. What matters is my share of the revenue.
If you go to FindWhat, for example, you see that they do not offer a comparable program for aggregating the traffic from many domains. It looks like they are more interested in dealing with a DomainSponsor (who is an aggregator of traffic) or big traffic web sites.
So here is what DomainSponsor, Fabulous and similar sites provide:
1. aggregate traffic so that it is worth the effort to set up a search engine
2. aggregate demand for traffic so that you can get good prices per click and good click-through ratios (the product gives you a good cpm)
3. stats
If you can find a better ppc income site, then please post it here.
If you really want to cut out the middle man, you could create your own search site.
