Not Google But Kevin Ham Owes The Internet

May 30, 2007 in Uncategorized

And here we are, the bloggers, surfing the Internet daily to find stories which can bring in readers so as to gain better ranking. That in order will bring better ad revenue.

Huh, this guy Kevin Ham trained as a family doctor, he put off medicine after discovering the riches of the Web. Since 2000 he has quietly cobbled together a portfolio of some 300,000 domains that, combined with several other ventures, generate an estimated $70 million a year in revenue. (Like all his financial details, Ham would neither confirm nor deny this figure.)

When Ham wants a domain, he leans over and quietly instructs an associate to bid on his behalf. He likes wedding names, so his guy lifts the white paddle and snags Weddingcatering.com for $10,000. Greeting.com is not nearly as good as the plural Greetings.com, but Ham grabs it anyway, for $350,000.

Ham is a devout Christian, and he spends $31,000 to add Christianrock.com to his collection, which already includes God.com and Satan.com. When it’s all over, Ham strolls to the table near the exit and writes a check for $650,000. It’s a cheap afternoon.

Read his full story here as I am in NO mood to deliver a short summary of this guys venture who earns via yahoo and Google ads with no real content being delivered. HELL!
