A .TRAVEL Business Case Study by Bret Fausett
The more I think about .TRAVEL, the more I think it would
make a very interesting business case study...probably for
what not to do at launch. This is a domain that really could
have benefited by the domainer community. Had they allowed
entrepreneurial registrants to come in and build
aggregation/portal businesses on various .travel names, they
could have built out the TLD quickly.

From the ever vigilant Edward Hasbrouck comes news that
Tralliance parent company TheGlobe.com is planning to sell

The Wild World of Domain Names
The nomenclature of domain name law is just plain fun.
Concepts such as phishing, typosquatting, tasting and kiting
all have legal relevance to domain names and, more
importantly, how our clients encounter domain names in their
businesses. Most of the attention to date has been focused
on phishing and typosquatting, but tasting and kiting can
have an impact that is not as apparent but no less real.
Both tasting and kiting have been heavily criticized, and
both are under attack by ICANN, with some help on kiting
from Google.

"MAESTRO" Loses Domain Name Appeal [reg req'd]
Most of us in the United Kingdom are extremely familiar with
the "MAESTRO" trade mark. It is the leading
debit-card brand in the UK, and is more than likely
emblazoned on a card tucked away in many of our wallets. It
may therefore come as a surprise that the owner of this
trade mark, Maestro International Inc (a subsidiary of
Mastercard), has been unsuccessful in its attempts to secure
a transfer of the domain name "maestro.co.uk". A
recent decision by a Nominet appeal panel denied this
transfer, affirming the Nominet expert's first instance

How to Write a Killer RFP (Request for Proposal) For Hiring
An SEO Firm
A Column From Search Engine Land Over the years I've seen
quite a few Requests for Proposal from companies seeking to
buy SEO services. If your RFP is not written well, it
hinders the SEO firm's ability to understand and define your
needs and to scope and price your project. This in turn
leads to a disconnect in expectations for both parties. A
lousy RFP can discourage a busy SEO firm from even
responding—a very unfortunate outcome, since it takes the
best firms out of the running.

... Again for impact, more than 20 million dollars of

average, few would have blown the average
man-on-the-strip’s hair back. The would-be suitors were
there with cash in hand, and many (like yours truly) went
home empty handed.. or nearly empty handed. All this
happened during a week in which markets corrected, new
credit/banking problems came to light, mortgage rates inched
higher, inflation made headlines and other generally bad
