For Sale My first one with Pool.com

[krisblade]

Pool.com got suprnova.com for me (well, we went to an auction)

It was having a snap on it, also was backordered on godaddy, and a bid on NW.

This is my first experience with Pool.com, and I am very satisfied because I did not pay too much, considering that the name gets high type-in traffic (1100+ results on Overture with the extension), and it´s very targeted traffic for my downloads site.

Congratulations.

Good typo, I didn't go for it as it's too risky, even for me

 

[Spider]

hmm, its gets 1100+ as a typo?

typo of SuperNova.com
there are companies who wouldn't bother to recover your cost but will sue you for damages, and you can end up with $100,000 in fines. It's an obvios cybersquatting if you point their domain to their competitor - kazaa, I would definitely sue you for $100k if I was the decision maker at supernova.

If I got the domain I would point it to non-optimizing PPC page, if you asked me.

 

[Spider]

kinda like amatuerpages Yakov?

 

[_Yakov_]

amatuerpages.com is pointed to amateurpages.com. This is completely legal.
It's not the same if I pointed amatuerpages.com to their competitor, say amateurgirls.com which would be a clear cybersquatting, imo.

It would be legal to point the typo to sypernova.com's affiliate program, but they don't seem to have one

 

[krisblade]

Actually the traffic comes from the domain name "suprnova.org", people types the .com instead of the .org (check the overture results for suprnova.org) That´s why suprnova.com gets more results than supernova.com

SuprNova.org is a community of file sharing. Tons of downloads.

I own a tutorial site of file sharing, how to burn cds, compress music, etc. so that name´s traffic is perfect for me.

About the affiliate program advice, well I know a domainer who almost got sued for pointing amaon.com to Amazon´s affiliate program, so I don´t even consider to do that.

Yakov ... you might want to get a second legal opinion on the above.

You need a new opinion.

Pointing to affiliate program = proffiting from trademark.

illegal

I didn't ask you if I'm right or wrong cheap stuff.
Get lost.

 

[Steen]

Well,

I am just correcting false information.

What if he does go do this and he gets a C&D then gets sued $5,000 for losses to the company?

This could have been avoided if he wasnt provided with inaccurate info.

 

[krisblade]

Thanks guys.

Hey Yak, take it easy man I really appreciate your opinion, as I hope you can appreciate your other colleagues advices.

I know you have TM-typos (such as disny.com) names pointing to non-optimized PPC pages, that´s why I consider your suggestion, also please keep in mind the advices of other members about pointing typo traffic to the original names affiliate program.

Well, I will prepare my site for SuprNova.com I was checking SuprNova.org content and it looks like that community is growing every day

Thanks again
