Regging Other People's Names

[Jimmy Changa]

I've come across names of other people, namely minor actors and models that do not have their .coms registered. Is it wise to register them? I know they have full right to dispute the registration and take the name from me, but should I reg it anyway? After all, there is some OVT and a small fan base that can be targeted.

What is your experience and or thoughts about this?

I have a number of "famous" people .coms RobinGivens.com, LeslieNielsen.com, LauraSanGiacomo.com etc, reasonable traffic, all pay for themselves from a parking prog - to date no probs.

I am really missing something here

Just checked all names above and no traffic at the mo??

Now I have missed something or my searches need updating :talk:

please help

BenedictXVI.com Owner Donates Address to N.Y. Charity
Owners of other domains playing off of the new pope's name aren't feeling so charitable. A man identifying himself as Jacopo di Trani, of Florence, Italy, has put up a Web site at Benedict16.com, offering to sell it to the highest bidder. Asked by e-mail if he'd feel any qualms selling the domain to a gambling site, di Trani wrote: "Absolutely NO. It's just the right thing to do. Life eats life and nothing is sacred, man."

Di Trani said he's received offers of up to 10,000 euros (about $12,900) for the domain. He said he plans to put the address up for sale in an eBay auction. A member here?

Yeah
Too bad I haven't accepted that offer!

I have Penelope Cruz dot info, but I haven't parked it. I probably should.

Well, with a 63K OVT, I would say YES!

I use "celebrity pictures" as my keyword and it seems to get some good amount of clicks. I wonder if anyone else gets good results from something else.

Interestingly enough, someone has the name in their Sedo account so now I have to screw around so Sedo can fix that.

I'm guilty of "LeonardoDiCaprio.us"...

I'll be developing it soon.

I'm testing whether .us domains do as well as .info domains. I have two celebrity names with both the extensions parked. Figured I'll let them run a while and see which does better. I suspect the .info, but we'll see.

FYI, my celebrityname.info domains are getting more traffic than the same celebrityname.us domains. Just as I suspected they would.

Lets hear it for the .info's

my celebsname.co.uk is doing rather well too :blink:

I have many unused celebrity (mainly actors & models) name.info (more than 150)

Do you know a good way to make a fansite or something similar easily ?
Maybe php. So, with a single templates, i just have to changes somes infos like biography & pictures to get a "new" website in a minute.

Or do you use other thing do make a simple fansite ?
