Undeveloped type-in domains that are just sending clicks directly to sponsors made guys like Webfather a ton of money.
However, they have decreasing returns as the internet matures and the surfers get more savvy. The magic is indeed that newbie surfer who just comes along and types "porn" or "big tits" right into the browser's URL line. Back in the day that would always see ".com" appended and go right to "porn.com" or "bigtits.com" or whatever.
The browsers are more and more often grabbing that to send to their own favored search engine. And although there will always be newbies, they are coming online with more knowledge, more assistance and more protection.
