This can be very frustrating for people who are looking for specific products or services on the Web. For Buy Domains, it represented a huge opportunity.

The person is automatically redirected to one of the more than 20 of the SEEQ Network interest-and topic-based portals. For example, someone typing the URL NetSchool.com in their Web browser would be redirected to the SEEQ Network's EducationCentral.com portal. There they would find up-to-the-minute education news, view popular school-related links, check the weather and search the Web. The result is that advertisements reaching large and highly targeted audiences without jeopardizing peoples' privacy with IP address tracking or monitoring. Each SEEQ Network portal scans the Internet, aggregates content-specific news and information and assembles it in one site. This enables people to easily access topical, interest- and lifestyle-specific information that is relevant to their interests.
