I think we're talking apples and oranges. Brad, if you have 2000 domain names and are making money then they obviously work for you. I think you are an exception to the rule because most Realtors don't have more than 3-4 domains. Because most of the good domain names are long since taken and hoarded, collecting 100's of domain names is not a viable model for most realtors. This auction will be a valuable resource but there are few people/Realtors who are properly placed to benefit or have the finances and know how to use these .coms. The bigger companies people such as yourself who are set up to consolidate .coms will find profit. For the majority of us who just focus on one or a few domains, the difference between a yourkeywords.com site and a yournamehere.com sites are realtively minor. Glad your making money, that's what this is all about. Bruce Wagg Oakland Real Estate | Moraga Real Estate

Brad, While I do believe that for certain niche markets, YourKeywords.com is useful, I think that search engine results are what most people should strive for. But what attractive .coms are available anymore? I get many more leads from my Brucewagg.com website than I ever could from trying to find one of the few, if any, available .coms left for my market. I currently rank #5 to #7 for the search term Oakland Real Estate. Higher than OaklandRealEstate.com , Oaklandhomes.com and most other combination you can think of. Being on that first page of google, and eventually above the fold, will bring you the most potential hits, whether they like your name or not. BTW someone bought up "Oakland Luxury Homes.com" and is willing to sell it to me. But I will have much more luck optimizing some pages for those keywords and out ranking him. The funny thing is that we don't refer to upscale homes is the bay area as Luxury so it really isn't a valuable term here. Internet Real Estate is one of the most competitive fields on the web and what we are doing today will be obsolete in 3-5 years.I think the idea of yourkeywords.com is quickly becoming obsolete.

Looks like most of us agree that it takes a lot more than just a domain name to bring buyers to your site. Looking at the list, the majority seem to be "City Real Estate Listings.com" for hundreds of cities. Some large company will probably by it up and then start selling lead to agents.
