The domain name of actress Pam Anderson official site PamAnderson.com dropped todayand was picked up by one of the registrars that works with NameJet.com where it is currently at auction.
According to Screenshots.com, PamAnderson.com was updated in just this past January.
The domain name was acquired by and owned by CMG Worldwide, Inc. in 2010, through a UDRP.
CMG Worldwide according to its site “represents the intellectual property of celebratory individuals from then, now and forever”
Well maybe not forever.
According to its site, CMG represents Ms Anderson, as well as celebrities from Marilyn Chambers to Marlyn Monroe.
The domain name went into redemption period in March.
The domain name dropped today and is in auction on Namejet.com with 37 people (including myself) who placed backorders.
There is a site on PamelaAnderson.com which also says its her official site, however that domain name is owned by “HostGator, Adam Farrar” which definitely doesn’t look as “official” as the former registrant for PamAnderson.com
If Ms. Anderson or the management company decided not to renew the domain for $10 rather than direct it to the longer PamelaAnderson.com well that was bad call.
Yesterday we wrote about the domain name ReggieBush.com which served at its the NFL’s players official site which also dropped and got picked up by a NameJet.com registrar and is currently in auction.
Again as always in these cases we wait until the drop is over before publishing information on the domain and we point out as with any famous person there are UDRP panels that have awarded domain names to the person or the estate of the celebrity if deceased, so buyer beware, especially here where the domain was already transferred to the actress by a UDRP.
Of course there is more than 1 person in the world named Pam Anderson and the domain name does have a Google Page rank of 4/10.
If someone makes it a fan or foe site without revenue, I think she’s going to have a tough time getting it back.
Note to the new owner or any legit owner of a celebrity domain name, watch out for someone allegedly named Thomas Steele from the Troop Law Group.
He, in my opinion, is a fraud who tried to intimidate me to give up my developed CubaGoodingJr.com site.
Anyone ever hear from somebody like this?
Bret Michaels might want to tap that one. Oh, wait…
I had backorder this with Snapnames and whenever I searched on NJ over the last week, it wasn’t coming up as an option to backorder. Do you know why? Also, please share with us how much it goes for. I’m sure it would have been out of my price range anyways.
“Of course there is more than 1 person in the world named Pam Anderson”
Well that makes buying it ok then, I suppose. Why should we have any respect for your “bad domainers registering TMs and Boston bombing” domains when clearly you have absolutely no need for this name and justify it with some lame ass excuse?
I’m sure there are some Barbie Andersons in the world too and you can just go and register that right now.
Seriously. Try and justify it with some “generic” argument and that the traffic is just traffic…
Go on.
Actually. I think you’re only in it to monitor but the chances of a “Pam Anderson” wanting this are small so that extra sentence seems ultra defensive.
So apologies
It seems CMG let this one drop because I guess in their eyes its not needed or because they screwed up but the official site is PamelaAnderson.com and here is the link directly from CMG site. The reason the PamAnderson.com screenshots look the same as the other site is because the name was redirected to PamelaAnderson.com Chances are CMG just screwed up and forgot and will end up doing a UDRP again against whoever buys it.
