National Arbitration Forum Issues Decision on Football Great Emmitt Smith's Web Address

National Arbitration Forum Issues Decision on Football Great Emmitt Smith's Web Address

A National Arbitration Forum arbitrator rules in favor of Emmitt Smith regarding the Internet domain name emmittsmith.com.

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Arbitration Forum announced today that a ruling has been issued in favor of former Dallas Cowboy and all-time NFL rushing yards leader Emmitt Smith regarding the rights to emmittsmith.com.

The National Arbitration Forum received an electronic complaint on September 8, 2005 from Emmitt Smith III, represented by John A. Thomas, of Glast, Phillips & Murray, P.C., asserting legal rights to the domain name emmittsmith.com. The address was registered by the Respondent, EMMITSMITH.com c/o Whois IDentity Shield, of Vancouver, British Columbia, on May 17, 2001. It redirected Internet users to a commercial website featuring links to third- party businesses unrelated to Emmitt Smith.

National Arbitration Forum arbitrator Tyrus R. Atkinson, Jr. ruled in favor of Emmitt Smith. The arbitrator determined that Smith possesses common law rights in his name based on the fame and reputation associated with his NFL career, and that the Web address emmittsmith.com was "confusingly similar" to Smith's name. Atkinson also found that the Respondent did not have legitimate rights to, or interest in, the disputed Web address and was using the address in bad faith presumably earning commissions for redirecting Internet traffic to third-party commercial sites.

During the course of the proceedings, the Respondent's registration of the domain name emmittsmith.com was either deleted or expired, prompting Smith to redeem the domain name under the new Expired Domain Deletion Policy (EDDP) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). This was the first decision issued by the National Arbitration Forum utilizing the EDDP.

The National Arbitration Forum hears thousands of disputes every year that are similar to that of Emmitt Smith. The domain name dispute process is a popular alternative to lengthy and expensive trademark lawsuits.

National Arbitration Forum Issues Decision on Yahoo! Web Addresses

 

National Arbitration Forum Issues Decision on Yahoo! Web Addresses

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN (PRWEB) October 4, 2005 -- The National Arbitration Forum (http://www.arb-forum.com) announced today that a ruling has been issued in favor of Yahoo! regarding the rights to 54 Internet domain names, including homepageyahoo.com, yahoocalendar.com, and fantasysports-yahoo.com, among others. This is the latest in a series of claims that Yahoo! has won in defending its brand and name.

Yahoo! Inc., represented by David M. Kelly of Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, L.L.P., filed a complaint electronically with the National Arbitration Forum on August 5, 2005 asserting legal rights to the Web addresses bearing close resemblance to those owned by Yahoo! Inc.

Having received no response from the Respondent, Bill Edwards a/k/a 1Ssteriods.com, to the complaint, National Arbitration Forum arbitrator Carolyn Marks Johnson found in favor of Yahoo! Inc. Bill Edwards a/k/a 1Ssteriods.com registered the disputed domain names between February 2002 and January 2005. Yahoo! Inc.’s trademark has three registrations with United States Patent and Trademark Office dating back to February 1997. The disputed domains resolve to the Respondent’s websites, which offer links to third-party sites featuring services that compete with Yahoo!’s business.

The National Arbitration Forum arbitrator found that Bill Edwards a/k/a 1Ssteriods.com did not have legitimate rights to, or interest in, the disputed Web addresses, and that the Web addresses were confusingly similar to Yahoo!’s trademark. The arbitrator also found that Bill Edwards a/k/a 1Ssteriods.com was using the addresses in bad faith by presumably profiting from “click-through” fees for diverting Internet users to third-party commercial websites.

Thousands of Internet domain disputes similar to those of Yahoo! are heard each year by the National Arbitration Forum under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The domain name dispute process is a popular alternative to lengthy and expensive trademark lawsuits.

A copy of the decision, Yahoo! Inc. v. Bill Edwards a/k/a 1Ssteriods.com (Claim Number: FA0508000535429) , is available for viewing on the National Arbitration Forum Web site at: http://www.arb-forum.com/domains/decisions/535429.htm.

FeedShot Unleashes Blog Search Submission Service

 

FeedShot Unleashes Blog Search Submission Service

(PRWEB) October 3, 2005 -- FeedShot (http://www.feedshot.com) has released a beta version of its blog search submission service, currently submitting RSS and Atom feeds to 19 search engines and aggregators. The service is free and in beta, with plans for a production launch in late October.

"I was tired of telling my friends and colleagues to visit 50 blog search engines in order to submit their feed. I kept waiting for someone to release a submission service, but after searching for a few weeks decided to write my own." said FeatureCreep, the author of the FeedShot service.

"The response has been overwhelming." he noted, referencing the more than 25,000 outgoing submissions FeedShot has sent since it opened a week ago. "We're trying to stay on pace of adding 2-3 new search engines per week, and we've received a few addition requests from search engines themselves."

With a marketing effort consisting of "sending emails to the blogs I frequent," FeedShot hopes to continue its low-cost, grass roots marketing effort that makes it feasible for it to serve the blogging community. "If we had to pay for advertising it never would have happened. Bloggers have a lot of power these days."

In addition to increasing the number of sites it supports, FeedShot has thoughts of expanding into the pinging space, and to begin offering some type of premium submission services. When asked about the specifics of those services, FeatureCreep responded "Five days ago I had no idea FeedShot would be such a success. Needless to say, I'm still working on what's next."

FeedShot hosts a blog discussing the day-to-day struggles of running the FeedShot service, located at http://www.feedshot.com/blog/.

>I am very interested in what other I-searchers have found and
>follow re: char length in Meta description and optimizing "other"
>tags.
- Kelly Blazes, SearchReturn Digest #009

Up until last Spring, we used to use a large set of meta tags, about 50. We did this for many years and had very good results from all our client projects. We knew that many of the tags were just taking up space, but felt if they were being recognized that it would benefit the site, and thought we might be getting some benefit for "making the effort". Since we spent quite a bit of time on the tags and provided them with the appropriate data and not just a bunch of keyword phrases in all of them, we felt it was worth the effort. We also used to add the description as an HTML comment, since we had seen that it was often picked up instead of the decryption tag. These methods never hurt and seemed to help. Results for all projects we very positive so we never did any testing. We also use to spend time on a site's ALT tags.

Then last year I took a 1-page site of a client and as a favor optimized the page with only title tag, meta description tag, and keywords meta tag. I then started adding pages of content on a regular basis, all with just basic, simple optimization for what was on the page.

The results were startling.

This was a favor to a client, so we did no keyword research, and only optimized the tags quickly based on page content. In addition, this was not a "proper" site but only had information about the client's business on the home page. Still, about 6 months after the traffic had increased by many times, the client was actually contacted and secured a project from someone in California (We are in Minnesota). The reason I did this for free is that the client is my oldest one and he did not see the need for a web site, much less SEO. He now realizes what I've been talking about for the past 5-6 years and if he wasn't so busy with exiting clients, I'm sure he would have us to help him with a proper site & submission of the site. We only put up about 6 links to the site and submitted to maybe 15 search engines and directories, a far cry from the 180 that we normally do.

As a result of this experiment, we now only use those 3 tags in our optimization, and do not optimize H tags or other things that you hear people talk about. They may help, but they also increase the time/cost and until what we do stops working, we won't be making things more complex.

For tag lengths, we have changed what we use a little:

Title tag: Up to 85 characters max, but some do go over without noticeable harm. I like at least 60 and generally use 70 chars.

Description: We use to always use as close to the 255 character limit, but we are seeing more and more sites limit this to about 150 with some at 200 and some at 100 chars. We try to craft the description so that if it is cut off at those points, it will still look and read well. We may standardize on 150 since it's a bit of work to match those cutoff points.

Keywords tags: Not very important, but if you use common sense, it may help. We used to have a 1,000 character limit, but now try to keep it down to about 400-600 chars. If you are going to use keyword phrases, use commas to separate them. We use to really fill this up with many variations of what was on the page as well as things not on the page. This was limited to words that meant the same, but different spellings and different combinations of what was on the page. Now it's less work just picking things from our keyword results that are about the same as what is on the page.

We use as many scored keyword phrases as possible in titles and descriptions, tempered with use of good English and advertising copy.

Thank you,
Chris Nielsen

Warning: Beware of installing "Secure Service Pack" on your computer

Warning: Beware of installing "Secure Service Pack" on your computer

 

Unless you know and understand what the "Secure Service Pack" actually consists of, we strongly recommend against installing it or anything that may popup and ask for permission from you to install it. Just because you have some trust in the site you are visiting does not mean you need or want what is being offered. If you are concerned about the security of your computer, only install things from the manufacturer's site, or the creator of your computer's operating system.

 

By the time you read this, "Secure Service Pack" may be called something else, so don't be fooled. Our understanding of this item is that it installs software that changes how your browser functions and you may or may not like what it does. You may be able to un-install it once you realize it's there, but do you want to trust something that will not even tell you what it is?

 

"Secure Service Pack" sounds like it's a Microsoft Service Pack that will upgrade your software, but in fact the software is designed to deliver advertisements in the form of web sites that you may be interested in. Part of the "benefit" of this software is to let you just type in keywords and not URLs to find sites. What they don't tell you is that they only sites they show you are paid advertisements and may or may not be what you are looking for, and might not even be a good site if they do have what you are looking for. It's the same old "Keyword browsing" scam that has been around for years. It's pure crap and should be avoided at all costs. Seriously!

 

I have seen at least one page that has a number of browser plug-ins and says " This page contains links to the Windows Authenticode family of plugins for Internet Explorer". If you want to upgrade your Internet Explorer, go to the Microsoft site and make sure you are getting the real deal.

 

Again, if you don't know for sure what you are installing, don't just trust the name of the application that you see, since it could be a trick and your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs WILL NOT PROTECT YOU OR WARN YOU!!

Unique Internet Name Once Owned by Bin Laden, Which Expired on 9-11-01, Now Promotes Peace

Unique Internet Name Once Owned by Bin Laden, Which Expired on 9-11-01, Now Promotes Peace

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- shrimpo LLC and Christopher Curry have made news previously when it announced that it had created a unique procedure to take control of the official Bin Laden family website, saudi-binladin-group.com, for which the domain registration expired simultaneously with the tragic events of September 11, 2001.

In an effort to stay true to its goals of inspiring peace globally, shrimpo LLC is offering the sale of this Internet name. shrimpo LLC plans to help victims of manmade and environmental disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina. The Red Cross, Red Crescent and C'amai, an environmental awareness group, will benefit from the auction.

"Will the history books in 100 years tell of our use of technology to reach out to one another from the largest cities to the smallest villages across the globe? Will it tell of solutions to world hunger and environmental changes?" asks technology firm shrimpo LLC's, Christopher Curry.

"The controversy remains whether the September 11th expiry was just a remarkable coincidence or if this truly was a hidden warning," said Christopher Curry, Principal of shrimpo LLC and Internet technology consultant. His experiences are included in an upcoming documentary 'Bin Laden: A Dynasty of Terror,' from 'Uncle Saddam' director Joel Soler.

Curry has created a "catch-all" system which gathers thousands of emails to Binladin family members, and employees. Emails to several Binladin accounts include messages from "Supporters of Shareeah," a radical terrorist group of which Osama is a key member.

The new owner will have a unique and controversial piece of history; as well as a mysterious technological relic as it relates to one of the most violent attacks against humanity.

Curry says on his website, "It's like each individual, and all of humanity, are right now taking part in an ongoing silent subconscious election: between life and death. The "general election" is on a global scale. Yet, there are billions of smaller elections happening individually -- our perceptions and responses acting as votes, and hopefully our hearts lighting the way, our conscience is keeping score."

This domain name will be up for auction at: http://www.saudi-binladin-group.com/auction/

SHRIMPO LLC, http://www.shrimpo.com/, is an innovative technology consultancy group focused on streamlining communications among humans, ideas and technology.

.eu Domain Names Available for Registration as of 7 December 2005

.eu Domain Names Available for Registration as of 7 December 2005 BRUSSELS, Belgium, October 5/PRNewswire/ -- - .eu Registry EURid Launches Phased Registration As of 7 December 2005 public bodies, companies and later even individuals from the different member states of the European Union will be able to register their own domain name with .eu extension. That is the result of a decision by the Board of .eu registry EURid. To apply for their own domain, all parties concerned should turn to an accredited agent. In order to ensure a fair and correct treatment of all applications, EURid and the European Commission have put together a procedure for phased registration, also known as "Sunrise". EURid is a European non-profit-organisation, founded by the national registries of Belgium, Italy and Sweden, with the support of the registries of the Czech Republic and Slovenia. The European Commission assigned EURid to manage the .eu domain names. EURid will not be working alone: in the different countries of the Union, a network of local registrars will process all applications. To allow organisations and companies to protect their domain name against abusive registration by cyber squatters, a phased registration system (also referred to as "Sunrise") was put into place. During the Sunrise period, domain names will be made available only to the holders of prior rights, who will be asked to back up their claim with documentary evidence. - In phase 1 (starting Wednesday 7 December 2005 through Monday 6 February 2006) only public bodies and the holders of registered trademarks can apply for registration. - In phase 2 (7 February to 6 April 2006) claims may also come from the holders of other prior rights. In this phase company names and artistic names may claim registration of a corresponding .eu domain. - In phase 3 (starting 7 April 2006) registration is open to all, and claims to a .eu domain name no longer require backup by a legal right. It is important to know that all phases follow the first-come first-served principle. In phases 1 and 2 (during the Sunrise period), the owners of prior rights to a name are protected to a certain extent, since proof of such a right must back up every claim. Nevertheless, if during Sunrise different organisations claim the same name, the order in which the claims were received will be taken into account. Therefore, it might still be important to state claims as soon as possible. More information about the details of the registration procedures is available on EURid's web site www.eurid.eu as of now, as well as through the accredited local ".eu registrars" who are also listed on the same site. These registrars will equally offer detailed pricing information. In fact, the price to register a .eu domain name may vary according to the additional services offered by each individual registrar. Companies that are interested in becoming an accredited registrar will find all necessary information on EURid's web site (www.eurid.eu). Everyone who wants to know more can visit one of the road shows organised by EURid : in Brussels on 10 October, in Ljubljana (Slovenia) on 17 October, in Pisa (Italy) on 21 October, in Stockholm (Sweden) on 26 October, in Prague (Czech Republic) on 8 November and in Madrid (Spain) on 10 November 2005. It is recommended to register in advance on www.eurid.eu. EURid is a not for profit organisation appointed by the European Commission to register and manage .eu domain names. EURid was founded on 8 April 2003, and has offices in Brussels, Stockholm, Pisa and Prague. The founding members, DNS BE, NIC SE and IIT CNR control the country domain names for Belgium, Sweden and Italy.

National Arbitration Forum Issues Two Decisions on Amazon Web Addresses

National Arbitration Forum Issues Two Decisions on Amazon Web Addresses National Arbitration Forum arbitration panels rule in favor of Amazon.com, Inc., regarding several Internet domain names that were confusingly similar to the AMAZON.COM trademark. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Arbitration Forum announced today that two rulings have been issued in favor of Amazon.com regarding the rights to 13 Internet domain names, including amazzone.com, amzaon.com, and amazln.com, among others. Amazon.com, Inc., represented by Kevin M. Hayes, filed a complaint with the National Arbitration Forum on August 10, 2005 against the respondent Michele Dinoia c/o SZK.com. The complaint asserted legal rights to 12 Web addresses bearing close resemblance to those owned by Amazon.com, Inc. Amazon.com's complaint questioned the legitimacy of the respondent's rights and interests in the domain names as well as the domain names' confusing similarity to Amazon.com's trademark. It also asserted that the respondent had registered and was using the domain names in bad faith, and was "a 'recidivist cybersquatter' with more than 20 reported decisions against it for conduct like that reflected in the Complaint in this proceeding," according to the decision authored by National Arbitration Forum panelists Terry F. Peppard, Paul A. Dorf, and Paul M. DeCicco. Michele Dinoia c/o SZK.com defended the registration and use of one of the domain names, amazonne.com, by arguing that "ammazzone" is a generic Italian term, the equivalent of the generic English word "amazon," and not confusingly similar to Amazon.com's trademark. The three-member panel rejected this argument, declaring that "the translation of a mark into another language...does not defeat a claim of confusing similarity." The panel ordered all 12 domain names transferred to Amazon.com, Inc. Amazon.com filed a separate complaint on August 9, 2005 asserting legal rights to amazln.com. A separate National Arbitration Forum panel found in favor of Amazon.com and ordered that domain name be transferred as well. Thousands of Internet domain disputes similar to those of Amazon.com are heard each year by the National Arbitration Forum under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The domain name dispute process is a popular alternative to lengthy and expensive trademark lawsuits. Copies of these decisions are available for viewing on the National Arbitration Forum website at: http://www.arb-forum.com/domains/decisions/536281.htm and http://www.arb-forum.com/domains/decisions/536549.htm . About the National Arbitration Forum The National Arbitration Forum is one of the world's leading providers of alternative dispute resolution solutions, including arbitration and mediation, representing a distinguished panel of over 1,500 attorneys and retired judges in the U.S. and in 29 countries.
