I was doing some domain research, and I noticed that Vaccination.com is now registered to a company known as Media Market of Boise, Idaho. As of September 24, 2009, the domain name was registered to Internet REIT, but on October 20, 2009, the domain name changed hands and is now registered to Media Market.

I don’t know anything about Media Market, but I do know they were the company who registered quite a few Bing related typo domain names just before they were acquired by Microsoft. Interestingly enough, Jamie reported that Microsoft recently acquired H1N1Symptoms.com, and the domain name resolves to the Bing results page for the search phrase “h1n1symptoms.” This is great for the owner of h1n1symptoms.us, as that website currently ranks #1 for the search term.

Prior to Microsoft’s acquisition of H1N1Symptoms.com, it was registered to TenPenny Group, a company that among other things, acquires domain names on behalf of Microsoft and other large companies.

During the Traffic conference, I learned quite a bit about The Water School, a non-profit organization whose mission is to “provide simple, safe, strategic, and sustainable clean water solutions to the developing world.” A number of prominent domain investors have been actively supporting the project, and a special domain investor climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro is planned for March, with the proceeds being donated to The Water School.

I think this organization’s goals are very worthy, and I want to help in my own small way. Above each post, and at the top of the index page on my blog, I have space for a 468×60 banner. A DN Forum banner currently occupies the top of the main index page, and the four color on hover banners are on the top of individual post pages.

From November 15 through the end of the year, I am offering this top spot to one company, and the proceeds will be donated by me to The Water School. If your company is interested in this advertising opportunity that will benefit The Water School, drop me an email and I will discuss rates/traffic with you. This is available to one company from November 15 – December 31, 2009 and it’s on a first come, first served basis.
