Wildfire News Events Create Instant Domains
Advice
Grab the domain while the news event is hot - then do something with it.
Why?
In the wake of the Elliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, it’s interesting to see how online marketers react. Whenever a significant news event happens, domainers or just plain ordinary marketers snatch up domains within seconds of the event being announced.
But what do they do with the domains? That’s the real question.
Just look at how volatile these events are. Google Trends shows a rapid spike in searches for “client 9″ and then it drops away, only to rise again.
The losers are http://www.clientnine.com/, which is still parked and rotting away - a full 24 hours + after the event. Someone already snatched http://client9.com/ and stuck comments and Google AdSense on it.
Come to think of it - maybe the crummy parked domain is better. Higher CTR when visitors see it has nothing to do with the news event.
