FAQ

NAmedia is a responsible domain name registrant and administrator. We are in the business of administering domain names, making websites, syndicating paid search advertising and information via a network of small websites or "microportals". In an effort to reduce our email load and to save you time, here are some answers to frequently asked questions about our domain names and business:

• Is this domain for sale?
• Where does all this traffic you guys generate come from?
• What kind of business is this?
• Will you buy my domain name?
• You have a domain name that is mine and I want it!
• Your domain keeps sending me spam, phishing mail etc.
• How come you are based in the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands?

NAmedia is not in the business of selling domain names. It is not our intention to "hold out for your best offer". Replying to your email and the many we receive like it each day, costs us time that could be better spent growing our media business. We receive many emails with a similar subject and do not have the infrastructure to physically reply to all of them. If you have an inquiry regarding purchasing web-traffic within one of our verticals, or across our network please send a detailed inquiry via our Contact page

It's simple. Years ago, our founders had the foresight to register thousands of really generic, meaningful domain names. They figured that if 'they' were typing names like PersonalLoans.com into their address bar in an effort to find "Personal Loans" then other people would probably do the same thing with different names. They were right. Today there are advertisers who want to buy targeted traffic relating to "personal loans" for their finance sites and we have plenty to sell them. While none of our domains or websites generates a huge number of visits, we have so many good ones that added all together we reach millions of people. Because of the passive and honest way that this traffic comes to our network, we are blessed with some of the most potent, targeted traffic on the net.

Think of NAmedia's network as a reverse search-engine. Rather than one search site that gets millions of searches each day. We own thousands of generic niche sites each getting a handful of targeted searches a day; but collectively reaching millions of people. For further information, please visit our About page.

"Don't call us, we'll call you". NAmedia purchases generic names that have keyword value. Many generic domain names receive organic browser type in traffic from people looking for information based on the keyword weight of the domain name (i.e. www.TravelLasVegas.com). We do not purchase concept names that do not make sense (i.e. www.hot-b2b-sales-4-u-today.com). If we want your unused domain name, we will call you. If you wish to sell your domain name try www.afternic.com, www.sedo.com, or www.greatdomains.com.

NAmedia operates a broad network of generic websites based on brief, popular and generically meaningful terms that have descriptive meaning to many people. We do NOT try to exploit proprietary intellectual property, knowingly administer (or purchase) inherently distinctive names or names that have "exclusive value" to a sole distinctive entity.

We try to be good corporate citizens, do the right thing and be responsible name administrators. If you feel we are administering a domain name that you have built exclusive value in, please send a detailed email via our Contact form and we will consider your claim.

Popular names often have a great deal of desirability to many different parties, due to their scarcity and generic meanings. Accordingly, we refer questions concerning claims of right to competent counsel for review and evaluation.

a) NAmedia has never sent a single piece of unsolicited email to anyone. We do not send spam or operate phishing sites. Spammers and "phishing con artists" often select random fictitious addresses for their email (i.e. info@savingmoney.com). These parties do not own the name 'savingmoney.com', we do. They do this because they do not want to hear your complaints about their spam. In a nutshell, these parties send you spam with a fake return address incorporating one of the names we administer to cover their tracks and to look real. We have no way of controlling this activity (and it bothers us more than you) but we can assure you those emails are not coming from NAmedia. We administer domain names. That's it.

b) NAmedia often purchases generic expiring domain names. Sometimes these names have previously been used to send unsolicited email or for other nefarious activity. We buy domain names because they are generic and meaningful, NOT based on their previous activity. Always check the "created date", or "updated date" of an individual name via WHOIS lookup (i.e. www.betterwhois.com). If those dates are recent, it is likely that we newly acquired the domain name at auction, or after it expired and ANY PROBLEM YOU SEE IS FROM A PREVIOUS REGISTRANT'S ACTIVITY. To reduce spam we suggest not posting your email address publicly, not filling in free-offer emails and installing spam filtering software on your PC.

Doesn't everbody dream of living in the Caribbean? We are in the Cayman Islands because it is a great place to live. The weather is warm, the people are friendly and there is good Internet access. Everyone lives somewhere. We live here (www.caymanislands.ky). We may be contacted via email or through the Contact form on this website.
