More and more people are starting to realize the tremendous worth that premium domain names can have.  They attract free traffic WITHOUT relying on search engines, PPC, or even word of mouth and can be worth millions with the right business model.  The majority of the most expensive domain names are those that are generic in nature and cover a broad category, which lends to their appeal and valuations.
