Domains Get Traffic (Score 1)

Many people here are missing the point. Domains get traffic. Google profits on this traffic and sells the ads. Why would they want to stop doing that? So that people will stop calling them names? There is a huge misunderstanding here.

Domains generate very qualified and targeted Internet traffic. They channel "Interested Buyers" to potential sellers. If someone types in "Sailboats.com" in the address bar of their browser, it is highly possible that they are shopping for sailboat (they may not be, but enough of them are to make the domain very valuable). So a sailboat seller has two choices...

1.) Pay big dollars to buy the domain from the farmers and benefit from the very qualified traffic forever (or as long as they aren't stupid enough to let the name expire) OR

2.) Pay Google to place ads on the farmer's domain.

Reading through threads like this where people are complaining about "farmers" is a waste of time. Farmers aren't going to sell you their domains cheaply because "It's not fair".
