Domainers, the equivalent of e-mail spammers?
Posted by easydomains on July 11, 2007
According to an article mentioned on Domain Name Wire, this is the case. In agreement with the comments on domain name wire, this article has been a rushed job.
Of course there are domainers out there tagging domains and snapping them up the 2nd they lapse, then holding original owners to ransom. However, I also know of some who happily hand the domain back if original owners contact them within a certain period.
There are also domainers who wait for a fairly generous time after a domain has lapsed before snapping it up for themselves.
In terms of comparing Domainers to Spammers – well thats just nonsense. You wouldn’t class everyone who uses email as a spammer, so it’s not very fair to be comparing all domainers with spammers.
Of course there are those who are out to hold ex-owners to ransom, but there are even more simply out to build their own businesses.
