Being a huge fan deals myself, I find myself visiting Slickdeals.net several times a day. I often wondered why they never owned the .com version of their domain name but the other day I saw an updated on the whois of Slickdeals.com and is now in control of the owner of Slickdeals.net. According to Compete the .com got around 50,000 – 70,000 unique visits per month. The .com was formerly a parked page seen here, now the domain is 301 redirected to the .net domain.

Still think any extension besides .com is worthwhile?

*I do not have any details about how the domain was acquired, nor when it exactly happened.

The new Powermat wireless charging product is advertising  all over television and the internet lately. I decided to look into the domain they are using in their advertisements, Powermat.com. Looking at the dmoz open directory project you can see that the company used to use PowematDigital.com (now forwards to Powermat.com) for their site and Powermat.com was used for a solar swimming pool heating systems company. The whois record for Powermat.com was last changed 08/07/2009 I assume that is when the acquisition took place. Interestingly enough on Powermat.com’s inner pages footer they are linking to the new domain for the solar swimming pool heating company h2otsun.com that used to own the domain. That linking condition must of been part of the transaction – probably a good deal for both companies.
