”
Our Smart Money Online Marketing suggestion would be to start your Online business with the strongest (.COM ),Generic Business locator available by leveraging upfront through a Leasing program such as JointVentures.com.
”

i see two problems here. 1. my guess is less than 5% of the domains on jointventures.com are worth the money being asked to run a business on. 2. Rick Schwartz modus operandi is tricking people.

Speaking of pathetic. That story is false. I purchased domain Phone.com, developed model, hired Ari, hired tech team, developed investors, tried to manage monkeys…………. All done for charity. They also mentioned two other companies I started and still own stock and their subdomain brands, without mentioning my existence. Most of those domains they mention are rejects from IREG failures. And fail to mention SEO.com entirely. Or Grassroots.org.

R. E. = ” so an internet without search engines..”

For your information there was an internet way before Google ambushed and held hostage the growth of Internet Expansion.

Google was efficient for the first few 100 thousand sites, but there soon after as Marketing Saturation Obsolescence took over it decommissioned itself through its inefficient Marketing Platform. Its usefullness in actually locating businesses Online is obsolesced through its inefficiency to foster an infinite amount of businesses that the Internet Platform is capable of. This is a fact you and others are going to have to accept.

Gratefully, Jeff Schneider (Contact Group) (Metal Tiger)

This only affects SERPs after page one, which no one cares about. It’s just an extension of what Google has already been doing on page one. This barely changes anything, and tying this to the upcoming gTLDs is really a non sequitur. Google previously got rid of guys on page one doing things like this:

apartments.[geodomain].com
apartmentlistings.[geodomain].com
etc.

And then dominating page one for apartment-related terms, for example. The upcoming change applies similar logic to results after page one. Chicago.com can still sell these:

apartments.chicago.com
restaurants.chicago.com
etc.

And those will rank for the appropriate SERPs. Google has already effectively limited the number of subdomains you can sell and rank in a particular vertical for page one any way. The subdomain business model is still the same. You can still sell thousands of subdomains in many different verticals.

Also, I never understood using subdomains to rank in Google anyway. Subdomains are treated as individual websites by Google as far as ranking goes, so you are massively diluting your link juice by using subdomains. In most cases, I think it’s better to use example.com/term to keep all your link juice on the same domain. In other words, if you purchase domains.chicago.com, for example, you don’t get any SEO benefits of the work that other people have done on other Chicago.com subdomains. I don’t think that buying chicago.com/domains would have the same issue. A person better versed in SEO can correct me if I’m wrong.

Plus, many consumers don’t really understand subdomains any way. A lot of people aren’t used to typing in two dots to go to a website (unless they’re typing WWW). How much traffic do you think vote.obama.com (a subdomain used by the Obama campaign in 2012) leaked to voteobama.com? Hint: a lot. I don’t think they would’ve had the same problem with obama.com/vote. At the very least, the leak would’ve been to the correct root domain.

Comment on Pam Anderson Official Site Drops & Is At Auction At NameJet.com; PamAnderson.com by unknowndomainer

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

“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.
