desperation hits a new level

[Edwin]

You keep trying Edwin, but read rest of the post first, and finally could even be done on Guardian, with technology and yes for £10 per domain mate. Think about it.

Why not outline the math, if you really believe it works.

For example...

of the X number of people who view a page
2% click on a banner
2% of the people who clicked the banner buy something (a domain name)

That means X*0.02*0.02 people buy something.

Or in other words, it takes 2,500 visitors to make one sale.

At £10/sale (and assuming a 50/50 split with the site in question) that makes £5/2,500 visitors or £2 CPM.

That's not even remnant advertising level for quality web properties.

(Related aside: I've been monetising websites since 1996 so I have a pretty firm idea of what I'm talking about!)

And there's Lords and Earls family trees who have owned half the land in the UK for a thousand years, err so what? Whilst we cannot build more land for ourselves to counter this, we sure can build more domains online to counter domain real estate hoarding.

I have another strong interest yet to be fully fleshed out. That is the temporary domain. A domain you use for a bit then discard. Imagine it, an infinite supply, real time delivery just like nasdaq or something or any other consumables market, and would pay to see the look on your face if such a concept became a reality lol and proved a hit.
