    Web pages make money in many ways: advertising, adsense (ypn, adbrite, etc), selling things, dropshipping. Refer to this thread for more ways to make money with a site: <Poll> Top 10 Money Making Techniques

    the domain name business is still quite hot...

    considering business.com sold for 12mil back in 1999

    and such a poor domain like flowers.mobi sold for 200K

    If theres a new up and comming product, you have seen and not many people know about it,
    buy the Domain! imagin ifd that product goes global.......

    or wait until the next extention like .asia i think is comming out next... i mite buy 1 or 2 and sell on...

    lol at least soone sees my point the time of regging a great domain like business.com or sex.com is long gone not to say that there are not good domains to be had for reg fee but if i were really trying to get in now id invest i the after market or start developing a excellent sites (not mediocre)

    to me the bubble has burst, you can get reg fees and possible double your money if you find end buyer, but to me thats not worth my time. There is still alot of money to be made in a semi good domain but developed site.

    I sold WalesRealEstate.co.uk Yesterday for &#163;70.00 which isn't bad considering i spent 4.99 for 2 years. Had it about 1 month, maybe less.

    Total time spent with the domain, probs 30mins, &#163;70.00 in 30mins not bad. now i have that money to develop my other sites with.

    only 70 wow you got your face ripped off on that one jmo but hey if you were happy with the sale it worked out well any more like that it your back pocket?

    i think the market is doing well just not a lot of great names out there to register but if someone wants to develop a site there are tons of names out there to register. because the quality of the name is not so important imean themilliondollarhomepage.com or whatever it was ,was a crappy name right along with youtube being a crappy name but they developed them and made them work.
