Nice.

I wish google would allow poker related or gambling related sites use adsense.
Advertising would be very good and popular for sure.
I could understand the sex term.

Nice.

I wish G**gle would allow poker related or gambling related sites use -_ad_-sense.
Advertising would be very good and popular for sure.
I could understand the sex term.

You can display _Ad_Sense code if the site is about gambling. You just can't do it if visitors can actually gamble on that particular site:

Nope not allowed:

"Gambling or casino-related content"

Perhaps you could contact them and get their direct permission - but I wouldnt risk it. I would think that sentence just about covers any casino or gambling related sites.

Nice list, thanks!

Agree! :tu:
Bill, can you list out any of the domains that have completed/closed ... specifically, I'd be interested in seeing the "Real Estate" [12] domains (with dates and pricing), if possible?
Thanks much.

home <--- looks like a tough category for good sales? I hardly see any sold high-priced home domains. Anyone can correct me with some domains and prices? It'll be something interesting to look at.

Yeh, at first blush I'd be in agreement with you Flora! :D

However, if perhaps, these included the types like *****Homes.com (in the "plural"), then I could easily see the attraction, interest, and potential dollar signs IMHO.
Let's see if there's any clarification.
Thanks again for the great info, Bill.
