Some time ago I posted derogative comments about domainers and how by them simply sitting on their derriers and doing nothing with their properties, the likes of Google et al were busy reclaiming the traffic and putting the squeeze on the domain channel. Recent reports just surfacing seem to suggest that my brief premonition wasnt
