We are looking to purchase NXDOMAIN data for an internet survey.
We prefer to receive the data on an hourly basis so it is as fresh as possible. Our system receives the data from you via ftp that you provide. Its hard to value the data until we have taken a look at it. As one example, we pay a current partner $4000 per month for 100,000 records per day. If you would like to setup a test so we can determine the value of your data please contact me at
What company would this be for?
A domain squatting company, presumably.
Thanks, I know. I wanted to stimulate a thread that was archived for others historical reference.
Yeah, me too. He's also apparently Mr Domain Investments LLC, Mr herbalclicks.com, was typosquatting on a bunch of t-mobile domains until they took them away from him - http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2007/d2007-0919.html - and was sued by Microsoft for sending CAN-SPAM violating spam to hotmail users a couple of years back in the myauctionbiz.biz case - http://spamkings.oreilly.com/MSFT-vs-Myauctionbizbiz.pdf . I wonder who he's paying for his nxdomain data, and whether that someone is authorized to sell it. It strikes me that it's just a small step for someone with access to ISP internal data to go from selling DNS logs to selling usernames too. Cheers, Steve
