At the bottom: (This version CORRECTS value of bid to billion sted million; CLARIFIES that deal is now worth 42, not 45, billion.)
In taking a PURE domainers stance, I would value a domain with a hyphen only if it received traffic or was a wildly popular keyphrase.
A domainer would look at a domain name and give it value only based on the direct navigation traffic or "type-in" traffic because they are looking at the revenue stream that it provides. While an SEO looks at a domain from a development stand point. Both sides like brandability. Luckily SEOs and domainers are getting together and brining the best of both worlds, direct navigation and search engine traffic.
Great article.
LOL I love the update on John's site now, sooo many outbound links. I guess that answers the question of "does it hurt to link out to too many sites?" =)
Yes thats true. And where does it stop? Any domain shorter than 4-6 letters could potentially be different then another domain. Like Ikea.com for example, If you owned likeat.com, thats Like + At .com but it also has Ikea within the domain.
haha - I already tried to buy Fish.com but it sold in 2005 to the owner of Dog.com for $1 million. How about the "typo" of your last name, mints.com --- Its parked! :)

Yes you do!
I've watched domaining and SEO collide over the last year :)
Im not quite sure that I agree with this.
Look at Russia where Yandex.ru is leading Google, or China where Baidu is leading Google. While Google may lead the English speaking Search Market, I think they have their work cut out to win over the local markets.
