Domainers and Domain Squatters — I Really Hate These People

Domainers disgust me. They're cheap whores. They often cost the rest of us time and money when we try to set up legitimate businesses of our own.

As far as I'm concerned, Network Solutions has aided and abetted domaining by being a giant domain squatter in its own right.

I really hate all these people. They produce nothing nothing of tangible value to anyone but themselves, they contribute nothing to the world, rather merely finding loopholes in technology which allow them to take money without giving anything in return. They cost advertisers big piles of money, but offer no customers in return.

I predict that the whole AdSense, Pay-Per-Click (PPC) and Pay-Per-Action (PPA) mess is coming to a boil later this year when some big Google AdWords advertisers and some big Yahoo advertisers see the results of total costs per click from ads fed to domainer pages. I think this may be a pivotal analysis year because we're now a full five years into wide deployment of AdSense and Yahoo page ads. The 2008 Q2/Q3 metrics and year-over-year stats in particular will show a long perspective with scary and severely ramped increases in ad costs over the past 24 months without anything even vaguely close to a corresponding increase in product sales via click-through. Google and Yahoo have already struggled to explain tens of millions of dollars worth of bad clicks, but the 2008 Q3 results may make a lot of advertisers screaming mad.

I believe Google and Yahoo have mismanaged their ethical conduct just as badly as Network Solutions. For Google in particular, the storm is coming. Google cannot continue its slow march toward ethical development, maintenance and management of its AdSense/AdWords product. Google has thousands of programmers all of whom are apparently unable to staunch the flow of good money away from advertisers and legitimate sites and into the pockets of domainers and squatters.

Kickstartnews regularly does battle with copyright violators who steal our reviews and drive, or receive through domaining, ad click traffic to the stolen content. Kicsktartnews derives no benefit from the revenue obtained from such stolen content. In fact, stolen reviews are often excerpted by the thieves, with some of the text content badly edited in the process, resulting in little more than web pollution from which consumers and researcher can gain no benefit or value whatsoever.

Domainers, copyright violators, content thieves and domain squatters are all contributing to the day when too many people get too frustrated and start whining loudly and seriously about regulatory strictures, web access licensing and other horrors.

Domainers, copyright violators, content thieves and domain squatters — I really hate these people. After having written this blog post, we're going to be particularly diligent about watching all of the Kickstartnews domains because I'm sure that if any of the domainers, copyright violators, content thieves and domain squatters read this post, they might find some time to start gunning for us too.

I think I'll instruct our lawyer to send letters to all the domain registrars we deal with stating our intention to renew our domains at all times unless instructed otherwise in writing.

I really hate all these people.
