Rating: 
Level of
Review: Researched.
Overview:
Some people or books will suggest that you can make
a fortune by buying domain names that you think
someone else might want, and parking them with a
notice on the page that the name is for sale or a
ridiculous amount.
Product: The
product is a domain name... whether it is sound or
not depends on which one it is.
Cost:
Programs can cost any amount. Domain names can be
had for $4 to $35 per year.
Compensation:
However much you can make on the sale of the
name... If someone wants it.
Conclusion:
This is a rather rude form of gambling. Back
before the big companies all had websites you might
have been able to profit from this. Anymore though,
almost anyone who wants one that bad already has
it.
Some people will
look online for specific name combinations, to see
if there is a company out there with a site that
does not have a real domain name yet. Others will
do searches of business databases to see if there
are companies without websites. They buy those
names. Here is what happens:
We wanted
www.adventuretech.com. It was not available. I
plugged it into my browser to see who had it. Some
squatter had a sign on it that he would sell it for
$8000. I laughed, and went and got
adventuretech.us. Yeah, it is a bit more
inconvenient since people remember .com better, but
no way was I going to pay $8000, nor was I going to
deal with someone who thought the name was worth
that!
Apparently I am not
the only person to feel that way. There is also an
adventuretech.net. May be a few others too,
I have not checked!
Domain squatting is
no better than roulette. You have to have a lot to
invest, and you will lose more times than you
win.

Our Rating System:
No program is right for everyone.
Even a rating of four or five does not indicate that you should
dive in without some careful thought and consideration. Business
is still risky. All reviews have the reasons for the rating
clearly defined.
 -
Information presented in program is accurate and factual concerning
the potential of the program, program is based on sound business
principles, and has good potential to provide stable income
for individuals to whom the program is suitable.
 -
Information is accurately presented, company focuses on selling
product, but business is either more confusing, less predictable,
or slightly higher risk for one of a number of reasons. Still
considered a sound company and very acceptable risk.
 -
Information may be confusing or misleading, company may have
significant issues with program structure, support of product,
or public perception and reputation. A rating of three does
not mean you should not do it. It just means you need to be
sure you are suited to overcoming the difficulties that the
program has.
 -
Information generally misleading, risk fairly high, many unanswered
questions, business principles questionable, but still has some
potential for actually working for some people.
-
Cannot declare that it is an outright scam, but potential for
it to work is very low. Will have questionable business theory,
bad reputation, excessive hype that is not backed up by common
sense, or other aspects which indicate very high risk. Will
always have multiple issues, not just one thing.
 -
Outright Scam. Anything labeled this way is never worth any
kind of risk.
