I just saw this post tweeted by Shawn Collins, and went to check it out. Totally missed the date of original publication though.</p> Gotcha, Rick.

This post is about 2 years old, which is before KnowEm was around I believe - that's what I typically use at this point as well.</p> @Geno Thanks for the comment.

So, thanks for mentioning it.</p> Excellent point, Rick!

Godaddy should push that.. good promotion. :) Lock people in for 10 year domain purchases.</p> <p>@Fionn You are most welcome! Thanks for such a great session. I agree it is wise to pick up some of these negative domains as well, but it seems to me that there are an almost infinite number of possibilities for negative domains. How do you decide which are the ones to reserve yourself?</p> @Carina I haven’t even given thought to reserving web space and profiles for my children.. oh man.

One other thing I want to mention again is the importance of buying the negative domains for example, Yourbrandsucks.com, yourbrandscam.com and Ihateyourbrand.com. Many large brands have been hit hard by this and its best to get those under your control. All it takes is one psycho ex employee on one disgruntled customer who knows how to bring up a website and place a few links to it to hurt you hard with these domains.</p> Hi Rick, Thank you for your kind words about the session.

I've seized my names in most social networks to prevent poaching (even troll poaching.) I take the prevention route when it comes to my personal brands.</p> <p>Even more than that, I've already signed my little kids up with their own gmail addresses; I don't want them to not have the option of using their own names once they get to the point where they can use their accounts.

Even more than that, I’ve already signed my little kids up with their own gmail addresses; I don’t want them to not have the option of using their own names once they get to the point where they can use their accounts. I’ve considered grabbing their domain names, but haven’t pulled that trigger.
