Curiosity killed the cat. I checked out a few without the -one, and they are portals. I'm assuming most of the sites on the list are taken from established portals.
The domains have a -one at the end simply because the plain keyword based domains without anything else were already taken...you are correct.

It's a competeitive market out there and keyword based domains are hard to come by but knowing how the search engines work, I was not deterred.

- one was the least innocuous and I could utilize it...kinda--Online Casino information Network.

The Search Engines basically ignored the -one and my hunches related to SEO were correct. The search engines still liked the keywords.

There's roughly 800 pages of SEO'ed content spread out over 3 servers.

I frankly don't have the time to maintain these properly (full-time job with prizewagon and 3 kids...I am tired LOL)


The -one could have been anything. A person can make up a nonsensical name for a domain and have it work to suit their needs.
If you want to actually be an established portal---these domains aren't geared for that. These are geared to get listed, ranked, generate some traffic, and be a great place to stick backlinks to other sites.
