Don't just sit there and take it… take it back!

You need your domain names to compete! How else can you be found? You need an Internet presence using domain names that match your new or existing business name or names of your branded products.

A world of mysterious and anonymous Internet entities thriving solely on profits from search engine clicks, usually using your domain name to attract web surfers looking specifically for you. Once they own it, they publish that domain name and matching word phrases onto thousands of unrelated gibberish websites, and the major search engine "traffickers" are all too willing to drive traffic from your customers or fans or users, etc. to those Web Leech pages.

Suddenly, your unique business name will be posted all over the world in every possible language for the profit of an infinite number of unknown and totally unrelated entities, as well as the profit of major search engine companies.

You end up with some crummy domain name that is only recognizable to you! Settling on Dot Biz or Dot US domain names won't work; they are almost invisible to search engines and no one will remember them from your marketing efforts.

The ultimate insult is the ability of Internet criminals to spy on your domain name searches, and automatically register your name before you through the use of simple software. They are free to keep these unethically obtained domains for a five day free look while they measure advertising click values. You can thank the worthless ICANN, the entity responsible for most of the weaknesses of the World Wide Web.

To make it worse, the domain name you should own will be offered for sale in a form of online extortion. The asking price is based on the volume of clicks through search engine traffic. Of course, your marketing efforts, brand recognition, celebrity reputation and any other note of public attention will translate into searches on the Internet. For example, hours after Conan O'Brien mentioned "Sam Wo's" (a restaurant) on his San Francisco-based broadcast, the domain name was registered and filled with ads (a typical ad click "entrepreneur"). Now the elderly owners of this historic China Town restaurant will be earning this Web Leech pennies per click, while all leads generated go to the competitors of Sam Wo's. The registrant could easily publish the restaurant's address or other beneficial information, but the sheer volume of these stolen domain names owned by Web Leeches require automated processing.

Unfortunately, for a few extra dollars the domain name thieves and Spam businesses can conceal their domain registration information. This too is due entirely to ICANN policy which is supposed to protect the general public from criminal acts and unethical practices. What does ICANN earn from private registration fees?
