After buying Ebola.com for $13,500 in 2008, Schultz's Blue String Ventures just flipped the domain for $200,000.

How easy it is to make money if you move on the right direction with proper assumption. What do you think about this ?

I've always believed in the power of generic .com domains. They will always have immense value.

The funny thing is that the domain is all but worthless. It amazes me that people still have not figured out that the content is what matters not the domain.

  Totally agree. I don't get this either. I mean, look at the most well known and successful domain/companies, all made up names... Google, Mashable, Twitter, Squidoo, Facebook...
  
  But then again, I can understand in some cases its a great branding tool and works well, like About.com, but ebola?

You have to be first in looking up for domains almost all words that makes sense are already sold especially .com domain.

Ebola is World news so it makes sense that Ebola.com would sell for $200,000 it's a major problem in West Africa that is also appearing in many other countries throughout the World sporadically.

That domain name has unlimited possibilities.

P.S. I am sure the company or person that shelled out 200k has plans for a Website of some sort it would be pretty silly not to.
