The domain tasting companies -- I read a profile of one, whose name I unfortunately have forgotten, but this company seemed to have a ~$17MM annual run rate by bulk purchasing domain names, running ads on them, and returning the ones that didn't generate enough income during a trial week. Really really scummy business, and stupidly lucrative -- the founder was running the operation with himself and two employees.
