When I look at all the offers I get I can tell you that almost everyone of them over the last few years have come from speculators. I can only recall maybe 3 that came from businesses.
You keep seeing headlines such as Rick's IReport.com where CNN purchased the domain for $750,000 or sport.co.uk sale announced today which went for $270,000 approx.

Fact is I FREQUENTLY see these announcements from all over the world. Companies buying premium domains that represent their industry.
But not Canada.
We're getting pretty good coverage these days from places like the forums and dnjournal recording sales but it seems there is little else that makes the "mainstream news"
It seems to me it's time to start releasing "news release" articles that point out the advantages to owning the premiums in your particular industry.
If you were going to do that where would you start. Do any of you have contacts etc or have you used a news release service before?
Other ideas?
