		<description>Johnny - a couple reasons.  First, it&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://domainnamewire.com/2008/05/20/domain-parkings-future-no-more-long-tail/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;difficult to manage the long tail&lt;/a&gt;.  Second, the arbitrage crack down has significantly reduced the number of advertisers for long tail terms.</description>

		<description>Andrew... nice article.

I keep hearing about the long tail being squeezed. Why is this?  Long-tail domains convert better than broad keyword domains, so why would big G want to squeeze it? What&#039;s their point?

Thanks... Johnny</description>

		<description>Yes, might be good time to buy.

US economy will go up soon. FED will bring cripsy new money to save Bankers asses, US will bomb for example Iran to make more power above crude oil to make inflating dollar still NEEDED currency. People that have lost thier weekend houses are now free from loans so they will have more spare money and pump up consumption of goods and services.
And then all the &quot;cheap&quot; domains with rising value cause there will be less and less good names for hand reg will rise on value.</description>

		<description>Good article, Andrew. Here&#039;s my take:

In the short term, there will be less money to invest in domain names (which means that, like 2002, now is a great time to buy). However, this plateau will not last long. The next boom will be soon after the first wave of Vanity TLDs are released. These will flood (confuse) the public and will drive the price of top level generic and Geo dotCom/ccTLD domains through the roof. Furthermore, those who believe that search engines will nulify the value of domains are betting on the wrong side of the track. It all comes down to simple branding that the public can instantly remember and search engines have no effect on the power of domains in cable, radio, billboards and print advertising.</description>
