(2008-09-18) Domain Name Seller Buyer Standoff Having Negative Impact On The Business Economy And

Thousands of memorable domain names that could be used for marketing and boost busine

Secretly but certainly the economy suffers from an ongoing impasse between business owners and domain name owners.

Unfortunately the economic impact caused by this ongoing standoff between domain name owners and business owners remains unseen to all but industry experts.

For decades business owners have relied on catch phrases to brand their image into the minds of consumers. Mention an orange and white box with an athletes picture and you will instantly invoke images of a certain breakfast cereal in consumers mind.

Domain names aka Internet addresses as in yourname.com are the images of the Internet according to Scott Alliy an Internet pioneer and creator of the worlds largest training search engine FindaSeminar.com.

Many businesses could obtain instant recognition and realize an increase in business and profits by acquiring and putting into use domain names that relate to their business product or service and or invite or provide reason for consumers to act.

Many businesses have now come to understand the benefits of owning one or more Internet domain names which contain catchphrases relating to their business product or service that could quickly and easily be implanted in consumers minds. These tech savvy business owners get the fact that branding their business with memorable domain names is a low cost but sure fire way to increase business profitability.

The issue says Scott is that by the time that business owners or marketing staff engage in acquiring domain names they need and want for their marketing campaigns they find that the domain names are already taken.

These in-demand domain names my be taken but are not always in use says Scott whose company owns eComInvestments.com and DomainsAvailableNow.com where many high quality useful domain names are listed as available for sale. He adds that business owners can expect to pay a premium for good names but as his own experience as President of FindaSeminar.com proves a good and memorable domain name can contribute greatly to growth and profits year after year.

Scott who was past President of the Online Business Ethics Association points to a lack of understanding on the part of business owners about the true value of domain names and unethical business practices by some domain name owners as reason for the ongoing standoff between the parties.

There are domain name owners, some with very large portfolios who make a great living off of parking their domain names with companies that create advertising pages and provide the domain name owner a percentage of income generated from the page when people click on the ads. On the surface this action seems like a legitimate business and in most cases it is.

Unfortunately says Scott unethical people among the ranks of domainers have acquired and are using domain names that are typos of common company names. In still other cases some domain names that these unethical few are using are blatant trademark infringement activities by anyones standards. These unethical few have given a black eye to the entire domain industry as far as the public and businesses are concerned.

Well known corporations have even formed an organization to combat the unethical purchase and monetization of derivatives of their company name and product brands.

So, the question remains how to break the stalemate, end the bad blood and get the domain names into the hands of business owners.

The first thing that needs to happen according to Scott is that businesses have to come to grips with the changing times and add buying domain names to any new projects they start.

A case in point says Scott is the brue ha ha currently announced over the alleged infringement of trademark by domainers who snapped up domain names relating to a proposed merger of two major banking entities. This troubling incident could have been easily avoided had the teams in charge of the merger put buying related domain names as a priority before announcing their intentions to the public at large.

It is not too late for businesses who missed the boat by obtaining domain names relating to their business product service or industry according to Scott who suggest that business owners use who is contact information to find and contact and partner with owners of domain names that are of interest and benefit to them.

Scott goes on to suggest that businesses should look at Domain name owners of domains that they are interested in as having a real value like any outside consultant offering a product service or expertise to them.

He adds that there are many tools and services online that provide valuation services. A company could partner with a domain name owner by offering them compensation in return for the use of their domain name says Scott.

The compensation package might include payment for the use of the name for a term aka lease in the case of a specific ad campaign or it could even include terms for a long term
