Hate Christmas, Love Xmas

XMAS.com that is.

What a great 4 letter domain name. I don't know who owns it but they are one lucky son of a bitch.

Think about it, 550,000 searches a year for the word xmas, with 2/3rd's of that all occuring in December, almost the rest of 1/3rd in November.

But do a search and the domain name isn't there, whoever owns it is using it as a pure parking play and hasn't sought out any kind of development.

I think thats crazy. Sure the Per CLick Income level is only slightly above $1 at best but I think you could easily dominate the entire XMAS Market.

Search for XMAS and you'll find 102 million competing pages on Google, with xmasfun.com @ #3, also @ #3 on Yahoo with 295 million competing pages.

You telling me XMAS.com couldn't take them on? XMAS Ornaments, XMAS Greeting Cards, XMAS Trees, you name it the traffic is there.

Then there is XMAS.net owned by a guy in Tokyo, that name was first registered in Oct 1996.

Just Parked.

So for Christmas this year I would like a sizable chunk of money to make an offer for either domain name with enough left over for development throughout the year.

May 2009 be Christmas, or XMAS, everyday.
