2007 will be verticals such as travel, real estate, gaming, financials and many
others for which domain owners host substantial traffic. “Internet traffic and domains are
the prime real estate of the 21st century,” comments Forbes. “This market has matured, and
individuals, brands, investors and organizations who do not grasp their
importance or value are missing out on numerous levels.” The
domain channel is a major marketing industry. According to Fabulous Research, $400
million in advertising dollars were spent via the domain channel in 2006. Major search engines rely on domain
traffic for over 10% of their traffic volume. Moreover, ten million .com marketing
websites are controlled by domain portfolio owners. Nearly 800 businesspeople came to New
York City for the highly successful T.R.A.F.F.I.C. show in June during which
over $12 million in domain names changed hands in only 3.5 hours! “Steve Forbes is going to
entertain, illuminate and inspire T.R.A.F.F.I.C. attendees to transform their
lives and businesses,” says Rick Schwartz, cofounder of T.R.A.F.F.I.C. and
WADND. “His experience and
instincts for identifying economic trends are inimitable.” Forbes will speak at 8:30 p.m. on
Wednesday, October 10th at the show. The climax of every T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
conference, which are held three times per year, is the largest live domain
auction in the world, hosted by Moniker.com and its CEO, Monte Cahn. The auction at the recent T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
East show in New York City included one domain that went for $3 million and
another for $1.8 million. In all,
