Will a recession hit domain values and pay-per-click?
When TechCrunch covered Oversee.net’s $150M investment, the popular blog suggested that a recession could hurt the domain industry:
Buying domain portfolios and domain-related marketing businesses is becoming pretty capital intensive. As long as there is money to be made in online advertising, domainers like Oversee.net will continue to do well. But if a recession arrives and online advertising takes a hit, so will the domain-name sector.
Readers were quick to dismiss the notion that a recession would hit online advertising, and thus domains.
