Humor is a good way to present trends and facts while attempting to heal the financial pain. Hey Donny - TGIF :D The industry overall is down (about 50% down for me at Sedo, over an 18 month period) and conversion rates are dropping as well. We need new strategies and selective development of domains, as opposed to across-the-board parking. Thanks for the comments everyone.

When was the last time you saw me wear at hat like that or suspenders. :) One thing to remember at least in our case, as we have made less from our upstream providers we have actually had to pay a much higher percentage out to our clients. That doesn't mean they made more money than before, that means we make less of a percentage. The economy has hit all of us and there is a trickle down affect. The one thing I always look at is Google's traffic acquisition cost from quarter to quarter to see how much more or less they are paying. In the second quarter they paid more to direct feeds than the quarter before. That's kind of interesting, where did it all go. I don’t think you portrayed me in the right sense.

Why shouldn't they keep most of the profits and squeeze everybody else ? What are we going to do about it ?

Google and Yahoo are going to keep reducing revenue until domainers revolt and find an alternative monetization method, so I have a feeling we're only going to see lower parking revenue for the foreseeable future. lol, that’s one movie I certainly won’t miss! :)
