WILL INTERNET'S .AERO SUFFIX TAKE FLIGHT?
The domain suffix, .aero, is among the seven new TLDs expected to be available this July or August. Although the new suffix is aimed at the aerospace industry, several major airlines have no plans to switch from their heavily branded .com presence to the .aero. SITA, the group who filed the application to add .aero, is confident that the new suffix will quickly catch on , while most, if not all, leading airport authorities are taking the "wait-and-see" attitude. Frankly, BuyDomains will take a wait-and-see attitude on new TLD's altogether. Between ICANN issues, legislative action on the hill, illegitimate "preregistrations" of names, and the randomness of the TLD selections and their registrars, we continue to believe they will not be online for some time.

DOMAIN NAMES DISPUTES CONTINUE
The cable television shopping giant QVC accused the owner of www.n7qvc.com of trademark violation, however, they did not get possession of the name. Corporate domain name bullying is becoming more common. Many large companies are dealing with domain disputes by sending threatening emails to any smaller businesses or individuals who happen to have their name in the URL, hoping to gain possession of the name.

ICANN UPDATE
Congress has scheduled hearings in February about ICANN's decision to add the seven new TLDs. These hearings stem from complaints that ICANN is interfering with competition in the domain name registration industry and will also allow several of the rejected applicants for TLDs to voice their opinions.

Partner Tip: How To Increase Traffic to Your Site
If you build it, they will come...or will they? Just having a site does not mean that people can find it. Here are a few things to consider when trying to attract visitors:
- Does your domain name make sense?
- Is it related to your business?
- Do you have content rich pages?
- Is your site visually pleasing?
Some companies offer free hosting, but your URL may be too long, or not make sense to potential visitors. To increase traffic, be sure to have a relevant domain name-better yet, have a bunch of names that all point to your URL through domain forwarding. This will increase your likelihood of being found by browsers. And using our special "frame" forwarding option, the only URL that will show up will be the one at your domain and not the one you might be pointing traffic to.
Having a clever name does not help if it is not related to your product or service, so try to register a name that would make sense to people searching the web for your services. As for the site itself, make your message clear to visitors right away. Visitors should be able to tell instantly whether your site is strictly informative, or if it offers products for sale.
Finally, make sure that visitors can look at your page without too many distractions, such as gaudy colors, cluttered advertisements and overuse of Flash or sounds. The goal is to make your site look clean and professional so that visitors will want to return with more business.
