“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win!” quote by Gandhi pretty much summarizes the evolution of the domain name monetization and development business. I have watched this business come of age for more than half a decade… In the beginning nobody cared… then when people started talking about how great it was, ‘smart people’ and the “legitimate web” laughed. Then the trucks with money showed up… A significant double-digit percentage of global Internet traffic is now owned by domain holders with generic names. So the fight is on.
