I watch the stock price and I check their press releases, but I'm not so sure that their business model is so sound. I'm an investor (albeit small), but I'd rather see them put more money into developing one or two domains into major websites. Than keep buying up millions of domain names and zip code numbers and developing mini sites. Just my 2 cents.

As my Grandmother used to tell us as kids during rain storms, "sooner or later the sun will shine again." :) Brad Tough times for mortgages, tough time for autos, tough times for groceries, I think it’s just easier to say “It’s Tough times for All.” but we’ll get through it, just as we always do.

The only real intersting item is that as marchex buids out their platform and deal directly with advertisers versus a feed from google/yahoo these type of deals will become more common, you can imagine they may be targeting some large niche portfolios for s a similar launch... mortgage biz has been tough in 2008 and many lenders are squezing their marketing channels, which has reulted in changes in lead generation…(lowermybills.com/lendingtree) have strangely cut their affiliate ad monies and are forcing many of the smaller aggregators out or into dif biz models (city loan platform)
