DomainNameWire.com SnapNames.com Auction Ends Today

April 27th, 2010 Comments off

Today is your last chance to put in bids on the DomainNameWire and SnapNames.com auction. The auction, put together by Andrew Alleman of DomainNameWire, features names from his portfolio, other bloggers, as well as some larger portfolio holders. The event winds down today at 3:15 EDT at SnapNames.

As of our writing this morning 9 of the 53 domains have received bids that have met the reserve. More than half of the list of domains have “No Reserve” prices so there’s plenty of domains that can be picked off for next to nothing and still have no bids. Like most auctions, these will be bid on at the last minute.

We don’t often do “picks” here but I’ll throw some out for my good friends at DNW:

blogtech.com – at No Reserve seems like a no-brainer

beefjerky.net – at No Reserve but current bidding at ~$400 . Checkout Jerky.com for ideas.

cathleen.com - Katherine.com sold for $18,500 on Namejet on 4/16/2010 making this priced to sell

leptospirosis.com – The google search volume on this is ~60,000. Disease/medical domains get reliable traffic and this one is priced to sell too.

albanycondo.com – at No Reserve is a no-brainer. Search volume seems low but this is a slam dunk domain for a realtor.

flanked.com – any 1 worder at No Reserve gets a nod from me.

Lastly, someone has to buy the ironic unsellable.com at No Reserve :)

There are quite a few auctions going on over the next few weeks and it’s hard to keep track of what closes when. We’ll try and keep you abreast on these events. Remember, half of the domain name game is just showing up to play. Make sure you check out this auction as the game is almost over.

Check the full list after the jump.

7,000 Domains Recovered Through UDRP Have Lapsed

August 24th, 2009 Comments off

Andrew Allemann of Domain Name Wire posted an interested article this morning showing that nearly 7,000 domains won through UDRP have expired. The article was based on the news release by Corporate Service Company, which stated:

“Of the domains that were won and handed back to the brand owner, almost 4,000 have been subsequently lapsed and are now available for registration. Also, an additional 3,000 domain names were lapsed after they were won and then re-registered - in some cases, by third parties. In fact, CSC found that several companies have disputed the same domain name up to three times because they continue to allow it to lapse.”

AOL Wreaks Havoc On Advertising Domains

August 19th, 2009 Comments off

The headline at TechCrunch says it all: “AOL Thinks It Owns All Advertising Domains”. The company is not only partly responsible for the $1.4 million sale of Ad.com falling through, but it is now suing Advertise.com for trademark infringement and unfair competition based on the domain name similarities to AOL-owned Advertising.com.

As reported at Domain Name Wire, the lawsuit claims:

“…Advertise.com recently commenced use of the virtually identical and confusingly similar designation Advertise.com and design in connection with the same and complimentary services as those offered by Plaintiffs under their federally-registered Advertising.com name and marks and their Ad.com name and marks.”

AOL believes that this could cause confusion for anybody who thinks Advertise.com is affiliated with AOL’s Advertising.com or Ad.com trademarks. The Ad.com mark, by the way, is not based on AOL’s ownership of the domain name (which it has never owned), but rather related to the company calling the Advertising.com unit “Ad.com” in the past.

In the court filings, AOL orders Advertise.com to pay for damages, gains, profits, advantages, and costs… plus “change its corporate and legal name to one that does not incorporate the term ADVERTISE.COM, ADVERTISING.COM, AD.COM or any term confusingly similar thereto”.

And remember, AOL doesn’t own Ad.com or any trademarks directly related to Advertise.com. Bizaare.
