I would have thought someone else would have done it by now, but:and I was able to win it in a very exciting auction held by the name's registrar last week. Not surprisingly, it was a very popular auction with domain speculators who saw a great opportunity, but I was the high bidder when it mattered.
Lots of domain speculators were interested in it. There are many people (and even companies) which do nothing but buy up any and every expiring domain name they can, "park" it on a page covered with advertisements, and then hope that it gets enough random traffic to earn them a little money in the end. The domain aftermarket is unfortunately a seedy, exorbitant side of the internet which often makes it impossible for legitimate webmasters to get a domain they want for a real website. I feel extremely lucky to have successfully acquired the name.Muhaha Cop that, Gifts and toys planet.
Who else was trying to bid for GTPlanet.com? And were they just bidding to make your life more difficult?
Anyway, Nicely done Jordan
You aren't the only one who has done that! Before I made this announcement, I directed the domain to an interim page to see just how many people were actually going there. According to the statistics, around 50 people every day typed in the incorrect name. We've been losing more than 1500 visitors every month!
), .mil, etc! Then you can rule the...err...GTPlanet domain?
