Default Re: Registration Redux: Does It Help to Register for Ten Years?

Spammers don't buy domains for the purposes of holding and reselling them. Rather, they expect to generate a high volume of traffic within a very short period of time and quickly move to a new domain before they get caught, abandoning the previous domain.

Not only do they thus reduce their risk, the domains that they've already used, even if not blacklisted by then, would bring peanuts compared to the revenue streams generated by their mainline businesses. For spammers, trying to make money by flipping used domains makes no economic sense; the payoff is too low and the risk to high.
