"Channels Group" Business Domain Name Auction Launches

Orlando, Fla. (PRWEB) July 26, 2007

BlogSpot Brands announced today that they have launched the "Channels Group" domain name auction, a group of 37 high profile business and eCommerce domain names. The auction is an "Act Now" auction with the purchase prices listed for each domain name, and once the price is met the auction is over.

The 37 domain names in this auction http://auction.blogspot.com are uniquely keyword rich domain names that are among the best business web addresses available anywhere. The value of domain names is now based upon whether or not the specific business that the domain name is to serve is part of the domain name "i.e. lawyers". A web address such as LawyerChannels.com is much more likely to achieve search engine success, and without search engine success there is no success. Google search engine algorithms reward websites that have a keyword rich domain name that is matched with relative content.

Domain names are a hot commodity, and a true commodity they have become according to BlogSpot Brands, a leading e-Commerce developer and operator of the domain name auction. "We have been involved in the domain name and development business for many years and have never seen such a strong interest from investors buying high quality domain names as an investment tool. It appears that domain name flipping is underway", says Bert L. Bill, COO.

"The high level names in this auction are truly investor quality", he added.

Michael Chertoff, Former Secretary of Homeland Security and Co-founder and Managing Principal of The Chertoff Group, Speaks with Members of Carbon NYC

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 14, 2011

Carbon NYC hosted its fifth 2011 Salon Speaker Event, featuring keynote speaker, The Honorable Michael Chertoff, on November 8th, 2011. As Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from 2005 to 2009, Mr. Chertoff led the country in blocking would-be terrorists from crossing our borders or implementing their plans if they were already in the country. He also transformed FEMA into an effective organization following Hurricane Katrina. His greatest successes have earned few headlines - because their important news is what didn't happen.

At The Chertoff Group, Mr. Chertoff provides high-level strategic counsel to corporate and government leaders on a broad range of security issues, from risk identification and prevention to preparedness, response and recovery. "Risk management has become the CEO's concern," he says. "We help our clients develop comprehensive strategies to manage risk without building barriers that get in the way of carrying on their business."

Before heading up the Department of Homeland Security, Mr. Chertoff served as a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Earlier, during more than a decade as a federal prosecutor, he investigated and prosecuted cases of political corruption, organized crime, corporate fraud and terrorism - including the investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Mr. Chertoff is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College (1975) and Harvard Law School (1978). From 1979-1980 he served as a clerk to Supreme Court Justice William Brennan, Jr.

In addition to his role at Chertoff Group, Mr. Chertoff is also senior of counsel at Covington & Burling LLP, and a member of the firm's White Collar Defense and Investigations practice group.

The Carbon Salon Speaker Series was founded in 2010 by George K. Kollitides, with the goal of bringing leaders from a variety of pursuits to share their insights and expertise on topics from business and international affairs to the arts and philanthropy. The Events take place in Manhattan restaurants, which unlike typical business networking events, are chosen for environments that create a relaxed but lively setting.

Kollitides, a Managing Director at Cerberus Capital Management, LP. As Master of Ceremonies, George brings the most relevant topics to the forefront with engaging questions and conversation for the speakers.

Past Carbon Event speakers include:

Ed Rensi, Former CEO McDonalds USA
General (Ret) U.S. Army George Joulwan, Former Supreme AlliedCommander Europe
Bob Pittman, Founder MTV, former COO of Time Warner Inc.
Louie Psihoyos, Academy Award-Winning Documentary Filmmaker and Activist
