Also curious how the domain examine.com was acquired, was it something dormant that you or one of your team already own, or did you actually shell out 4,5 or 6 figures for the said domain? One example of a successful generic domain is bodybuilding.com which I believe was bought for $30k a long time ago and then developed instead of sat on.
