What is the best online resource & forum for understanding online marketing (rich, long term)

[ShakyJ]

Basically I own some decent level dot com domain names. I want to put them to use. Either ecommerce or information sites. Now I am not a stranger to making web sites and even ecommerce ones, but the industries related to my domains are not something I know much about.

I need a way to understand the market place to see what has better long term potential. Selling product or providing information. Is there a site/forum dedicated to such a subject?

Thanks!
Jason

The Challenge

This guy (Ed Dale) offers a good FREE course called the 30 day challenge. Other than occasional e-mails there is no charge for the material and included in the course are links to some very useful tools and forums.

BlackHatWorld the home of internet marketing

or

the warrior forum (I see it as the less "get rich quick" forum)

Both are a great start

I would suggest taking a local university extension course. You will be with others doing the same thing and get an idea of what the competition is, while learning from a successful professional. That kind of class is normally taught by people doing it, not by regular college professors. I took a course on marketing your artwork that did include some online marketing, and the instructor owned several upscale art galleries.
