SnapNames Employee Bid in Companys own Domain Auctions
A Snapnames employee was caught bidding in the company’s own doain auctions leading to some big issues with how the company is handling its auctions. The clean up process is underway and many domains will soon see a rebate in auctions they were involved in that may have been bid up resulting in shill bidding.
Nelson Brady - Former VP of Engineering at Snapnaes
The Snapnames employee, Nelson Brady VP of Engineerings for Snapnames is accused of shill bidding dating back as far as 2005. He was operating under the name of Halvarez had already been been involved in bidding up SnapNames auctions for about two years. This behavior is against Snapnames policies and say that it i possible that his involvement in shill bidding continued for two more years before they finally discovered the fraud and made it public in a letter to their customers today. Here is a copy of the letter released to its customers.
Snapnames letter to its customers
Brady was fired on Monday October 26th. This will definitely leave a bad taste in domainers mouths when dealing in auctions for quite some time. Its possible Nelson is involved in bidding up as many as 50,000 domain name auctions over the past years. Snapnames is taking a proactive approach and reviewing any and all of the auctions that Nelson was involved in with his ficticious bidding and offering a rebate to customers involved in the auction with a 5.22% interest on top. If you were a domainer involved in any of these auctions affected be sure to expect contact from Snapnames. The rebate will be given in form of cash or credit to be used within their system.
Snapnames did make a wise and professional decision to release the news to the public and taking the approach to compensate their customers.
Here are some domains there were said to be owned by Halvarez:
hamvuiclub.com
cinemagazine.com
lifeclips.com
searchescorts.com
tvizle.com
googletrends.com
extrawallpapers.com

nanotorrent.com
mature-club.com
curlyhair.net
simsextremos.com
moslemlink.com

I am sure there will be more to come as the cleanup process continues over at Snapnames.
SEO Elite – Search Engine Optimization Software
Introducing: The secret tool that tens of thousands of the top ranked Google sites have been quietly using for years…
“Who Else Wants To Finally Get A #1 Google Ranking In As Little As 7
Days… And Drive A Minimum Of 789 Unique Visitors To Your Websites
Per Day?”
Introducing the ONLY search engine optimization software product that has been 100% PROVEN to dramatically increase your rankings in Google,
Yahoo, and MSN – GUARANTEED & I’ll prove it!
Without going into extreme detail, I’ll summarize the 3
major points you MUST know to rank highly
for your chosen keywords.
 |
Google ranks websites by those that are deemed to have the most authority on the given topic/keyword. |
 |
Google pays much less attention to what is actually on your web page itself than what most people think. Yes, you heard me right. You don’t actually even need to mention your keyword anywhere on your website to rank highly for the keyword! Google looks at who’s “voting” for a website, to determine how highly it ranks. If important sites are “voting” for your website, you will rank highly. |
 |
You must know EXACTLY why the top 10 ranked sites in Google are currently ranked where they are. You can’t guess by simply looking at their web page itself. As I said above, what is on the web page itself has VERY little to do with the reason they’re ranked where they are. It has as little as 2% to do with their ranking… |
Once you know each of those 3 points mentioned above, I’ll go as far as saying that you can rank in the top 5 for ANY keyword you choose.
Sure, some keywords will be more competitive than others, but as long as you’re not blindly “hoping and wishing”, and actually doing what is necessary to increase your rankings, you can and will achieve a top ranking for any keyword you want, period!
