It amazes me that anyone can make any money on this. For grins, I've been monitoring new .com TLD registrations for the past 2 months. On any given day, you get roughly 50k to 100k new registrations. 99% of those seem to be ad-parked (or whatever the term is (see sexa1.com, registered yesterday -- textually NFSW)) or misconfigured (understandable, I suppose, for a day-old domain).

I'm guessing maybe 0.05% (half of that remaing 1%) are sex related: tube, cam, and image porn aggregation; escort sites.

I find it truly amazing that so much is built on 3rd party content. After watching these new domains for so long, I started thinking: What am I missing? Can I actually make a little bit of passive income with a $10 domain name and a little forum name-dropping? The OP seems to think that people can. Obviously people do.

EDIT: I meant to finish with, I wish the article gave some real revenue numbers. The dude states he has 200 sites, and I'd love to hear a ballpark figure of how much he earns (maybe even a single site), and a direct example to one such site.
