I think what you will find with Frank being that he owns XXX,XXX amount of domains is that not even 1% are Top Keywords
( depends of what is considered top i guess ) It would appear to me that FS makes good money from Direct Nav but the bulk of his 20million a year is coming from highly targeted searched phrases
( longtail ). He makes one to many references to rumcakes.com lol . And as far as RS i seen debates on his board before about parking vs development and his take was basically that the effort to do serious development was not worth it because he was banking enough on the direct Nav of his names. So more or less Ricks perspective is he is content how things are , going into development is just more work that he doesn't really need to do.
Being that rick only Owns around 5k domains and has top keywords he makes alot from "a little amount of names" because of the quality.
FS is a different type of animal He has over 100k names that catch money in the serps. A few cents spread across all those names equals 20million a year.
