TheDomains.com On CNN

September 27, 2011 by Michael Berkens

About 10 days ago we wrote a post about the domain name TeaParty.com which was owned by a band up in Canada, which went public saying they would consider selling the domain for an amount in the 7 figures.

The story was picked up by CNN yesterday and TheDomains.com appeared on TV screens around the country as the background for the story.

A good domainer friend was nice enough to take a picture of his TV when TheDomains.com was upon CNN and sent it to me

Here you go:

    Excellent Mike. IMO the CNN coverage would have generated an even larger traffic spike if your banner read TheDomains.com rather than what appeared on TV screens around the country, namely TheDomains.

    Nice, congrats on the exposure. Did you get a little surge of traffic from it? I can’t help but think it would have been great if your logo had your full URL in it (ie: TheDomains.com), clearly at the top of the page, then people could have more easily known your website address.
