Strategy for buying names around a successful .com

**IDEAS4** · 01-16-2007, 06:17 PM

I know a company that is about to breakout into a global media presence- They own the .net , the .com and .org are taken - what do you do next?

.us, .info or other tld?
mistypes?
Offer to buy the com or org?

some?
everything?
nothing, none are worth anything but the real thing?

Any help would be great.

has the company got a really unique name? ie: century21 (example)
problem if it has is it is no doubt trademarked. then it causes you headaches & money
on the other hand if it is not tm'ed, give it a whirl, you may get a nice offer.
it is unlikely it is a good generic word or phrase as it would be regged by now. & yes if you're gonna reg an extension, let it be the .mobi
