The only issue I see wrong is if Google takes our search queries and sells them to people, who can use our search queries and IP's to get demographical data for us. Therefore, I'm neutral on the idea.

Just a weird concept I came up with... it could happen

Anyway... back on topic.

i think business.com is worth hundreds of billions of dollars over the coming years depending on what they do with it.

keep it going people; air your personal views....

ok, back to the issue.

the current Business.com's content and search results are awful. I have never used the current business.com for anything since they launched it.

I see you all are saying, but you have to realize one thing. You can't base the value of a website like this on it's content. When you have a website with a general name that covers so many things in the world and is such a huge part of the world as business is, it will probably gain it's value just off of the name because people know that when people are looking for something business related on the web, they might as well try business.com.

Just how I view it.

google making $10k/day? is that a joke?

Google made $3.077 BILLION in Net Income last year...

http://finance.yahoo.com/q/is?s=GOOG&annual

That works out to $8.4 Million in profit per day.

You can't really rely on a tool such as DNScoop in cases like this because Business.com does plenty more than just push traffic thru. If I remember correctly, you have a hefty inclusion fee in their directory and that is only one of their many revenue sources.

Right, all of the pricing is based mostly off traffic push, so it is not the true value. That was done for a basic fun factor.

The value put on generic domain names are way too high. Focus should be on the function of the site itself. eBay for example is a valuable domain today. But before it was worthless. The founder (PO) wanted to originally call it EchoBay.com, but he settled for eBay.com since it was available. It's the content that drives the website, not the brand (in most cases).

Agree 100%

For example when you do a search do you use a made up word like google.com or www.searchthei
