We have traveled a lot in August, crossing the Pacific back and forward and we have to say that it was quite an interesting and challenging month for our team. We attended Affiliate Summit and DomainFest in New York where we met many interesting people! Many new ideas and new opportunities were unearthed this month!
Get ready for our new website updates and new offers in September! At the moment we are in Dublin attending T.R.A.F.F.I.C. domain industry conference. Hoping to surprise you with our domain data base update in the nearest future! Please don’t hesitate to contact us about our new products and services! It is always a pleasure to speak to you!

But what is it that you are really looking for and what attracts you to anyone of the hundreds of booths that are trying to hook you into using their services?
Until now we have tried to be very creative in making sure you see our brand which in turn we hope drives you to our booth, from free mini cooper taxi rides (ad:tech NYC), to free massages (Domain Fest) and then the always popular PARTY (all the events we attend). However this year at Leads Con we are going to take a step back from the gimmicks and try to provide you with a straightforward offer that will directly tap into your business and your curiosity. Because our business is driven by the fact that we can deliver you strong traffic sources at considerably cheaper prices than PPC we are going to show you the actual numbers behind these statements.
If you are interested in seeing how our traffic costs compare to those of industry leaders such as Google come by our booth and see first hand how our traffic can work for you!
Our price comparison application will be live for you to compare your current spending to what you could be spending! Stay tuned for our application launch which you will be able to access online during and following the show.

See you all in New York!

Day 1: We ran a complimentary massage booth for everyone to come by and take a load off while talking a bit of business.  The first ever Pitchfest was  a large success and had all the buzz.  We were fortunate to have an opportunity to present, and although we didn’t win the competition, couldn’t have asked for better publicity through any other medium. Day 1 was concluded by the .CO mixer where we all enjoyed exotic dances and libations.

Day 2: Keynote talk by Tony Hsieh (CEO of Zappos.com) was a very inspirational talk that gave perspective to the work atmosphere and necessity of having a strong foundation of office culture as one of the cornerstones to a healthy and successful business.  The night was capped off with a private event at the Getty where attendees were granted a private viewing of the galleries fantastic work.

Day 3: Pitchfest session 2 and conference wind down.  Our massage booth appears to have been a hit especially in the end as attendees have been sitting and talking throughout the event – getting a bit of relaxation therapy seems to have been just the spot. Tonights evening will conclude with a bash at the Playboy Mansion – which is sure to be entertaining in itself, topped off by 3 days of networking coming to end and an early weekend will have the ingredients for an eventful evening.

Overall the Domainfest event has been ran very well and our experience has been nothing but positive both personally for business.  We look forward to coming back next year to meet up with all our new contacts and old friends!

The evening was one to remember.  And even more memorable…almost everyone made it into the office the following day, even if it was a little later than normal.  Thank you to all of our clients and partners who made it to the event.

We would also like to thank all of you who came out to our launch party at 1 OAK.  The atmosphere was alive and we packed all inside in comfortable fashion.  A special thanks goes out to DJ Patrick Carroll for laying down the atmosphere with some wonderful music, as well to Southard Communications for their support both logistically and on the PR front.  For those of you that stuck it out until the end of the party we hope you had a chance to see one of your favorite NY Yankees as their World Series victory ended with celebratory drinks at our club > 1 OAK.
