Dec 11, 2007 -- /prbuzz/ --Riyadh, KSA – December 10, 2007 – Young webpreneur, Salhah Hamad, has a dream of creating a one-of-a-kind online auction experience, and she’s making it happen during the last ten days of December thanks to Ebay. Hamad will attempt to create an international auction phenomenon previously unheard of – combining a record-breaking domain name auction attempt (www.TheFourteenMillionDollarDomainName.com) with a fun, social, and interactive environment for auction bidders and non-bidders alike.
“The Fourteen Million Dollar Domain Name auction isn’t simply about the auction itself,” said Hamad. “This auction is more like a live game show for webmasters and Internet marketing professionals. The end ‘prize’ isn’t necessarily the value of the domain name, but instead the anticipation viewers will have to learn who the auction winner is. Auctions are usually quiet affairs. I’m creating an international entertainment event on the Web, actively bringing in casual ‘viewers’ and not just bidders over the ten day auction period. When the auction is over, The Fourteen Million Dollar Domain Name (no matter what the winning bid is) will be forwarded to the winning bidder’s own website, therefore driving all auction viewers and related traffic to the winning bidder’s site. Those simply watching the auction will be in for a surprise, waiting to see the winning website, whether that happens to be the site of a large corporation, a new product being released, or even something like a site of Paris Hilton photos.”
The auction site will be translated into a total of twenty six languages to ensure a level playing field internationally. The auction will run for ten days towards the end of December, and will take place through the Ebay auction service. There will be no minimum starting bid, reserve price, or “buy it now” price, making the domain auction ideal for budget-conscious Internet marketers interested in early exposure.
The online auction will be open only to pre-approved bidders (to ensure the winner’s site meets basic requirements for domain forwarding such as no adult material, gambling-related or hate-oriented websites). Full rules regarding pre-approval can be found at http://www.thefourteenmilliondollardomainname.com/pre-approval.htm
The Fourteen Million Dollar Domain Name homepage will have several sponsorship opportunities available during the live auction. Members of online and broadcast media outlets interested in covering the opening bids, auction close, or other segments of this first-of-its-kind online auction experience are encouraged to enquire about video airings or video clips of the event.
