There are 2 major types of business models in this business. One is buying domains with type-in traffic and usually these guys have more funds to go around. This is because type-ins are mostly more generic words or phrases(other than typos or cybersquatter-type of domains). As everyone know, generic words or phrases have natural and targeted traffic but will cost your kidneys. The second type is the people who hunt for dropped domains with existing links and search engine rankings. Most of these domains (from my experience) are not as good as the generics but much marketing has been poured into the domain/website by the previous owner. This type of traffic will usually drop if the the domain is not developed further. If the traffic is from doorway pages that are linked from other sites, then traffic will drop even faster when the owner of the sites linking in found out of the broken link. The 2nd business model needs the new owner of the domain to start developing the domain fast to preserve it's existing traffic, whereas the 1st model already has natural traffic which will not really drop so fast. You will have to know what you are getting into when you buy domains with traffic from existing links...develop the domain fast!
