Domaineering is the web-based marketing business of acquiring and monetizing Internet domain names for their use as an advertising medium. Often the domain name must be optimized to produce maximum revenue which requires some skill and knowledge of SEO practices. Domaineering generally utilizes a firm offering domain parking services to provide the "feed" of a word or phrase searched for. Occasionally content is added to develop a mini-website.
Domaineers and some of those who advertise online using keywords believe domaineering provides a useful, legal and legitimate Internet marketing service while opponents of domaineering decry the practice as increasing the ubiquitous commercialization of the world wide web.

A domaineer is one who engages in domaineering which is the web-based marketing business of acquiring generic Internet domain names for the purpose of monetizing them through their use primarily as an advertising medium. In essence, the domain names function as virtual Internet billboards with generic domains being highly valued for their revenue generating potential derived by attracting natural Internet traffic hits from organic search engine results.
