Been reading some interesting stuff tonight on other forums around SEO / Building Sites
In a nutshell like @David Says... on another thread, there is zero money any more domain names that don't have traffic attached to them
But there is also zero values in what could be classed as classified or listicle sites
So if you run a website that lists all local shoe shops, dance classes, Chinese takeaway etc. Google is now taking that traffic as when the user searches 'shoe shop' it gives them a list of local shops, opening times, map to the location, link to the shop website etc.
Great for the user, less so for the user running the website listing all shoe shops in the UK etc.
