Software giant buys premium domain name for search efforts.



AdvertisementThe world was abuzz a couple weeks ago when Microsoft announced its new cashback search engine. Less reported was that Microsoft quietly purchased the domain name CashBack.com.

Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) purchased the domain name from Kansas City, Missouri company Creative Marketing Associates. Creative Marketing Associates owns a number of domain names, including the valuable GiftCard.com, as well as corresponding toll free vanity phone numbers.

Would have been a great Domain for Credit Card companies IMO ~ They are +/- 90% of the ones buying PPC ads for the term to begin with
