Over the years we have pointed out a bunch of ridiculous emails we get from registries and registrars trying to get people to buy a unregistered domain names.
Usually the domain names suggested in the email have little to do with the person receiving the email or a defensive sale, along the lines of you better get this domain before someone else does.
However today I got this from the DotCeo registry and you have to admit its a nice looking, bang on domain and properly presented.
The operators of the DotCEO registry also own Kred, which like Klout attempts to determine your influence on social media. It appears they are using Kred’s stats to send out notices to generate interest in .CEO domains.
I would say nice presentation, nice job and should result in some registrations.
Can we call this cybersquating?
Any particular reason this isn’t spam?
The title of “Hey Registries, Registrars This Is The Way To Sell A Domain” is fascinating indeed to Registrar like us. 2 BIG thumbups, Michael!
Did you reserve/pre-reg the domain?
and if so..why?
What are you planning to do with it?
can’t hardly wait to see…:)
Looks like spam to me. We need less spam in the domain industry. Not more.
