According to this article on TechCrunch, Yahoo! will be running a two week test to include Google Ads in 3% of their search result advertising. While this might be part of a strategy for their negotiations with Microsoft, it also serves as a painful reminder for the domain industry. Domain monetization options are basically limited to working with Google and Yahoo! or one of their aggregation partners. Should one of the two companies start relying on the other, there would only be one partner to work with.

Dustin sent over this press release about the domain name, SaintNick.com being auctioned over at GreatDomains.com.

Despite a busy holiday season ahead, Saint Nick has found time to make a special stop at the auction block this year where his domain SaintNick.com will be up for auction starting on November 29th and ending December 6th. Those who would like to make a bid can visit SaintNick.com for details.

Wausau, WI (PRWEB) November 21, 2007 — Saint Nick has a very busy schedule this holiday season. In addition to working overtime to prepare his yearly haul for those who have been more nice than naughty, he’s apparently also made time to put his Internet address SaintNick.com up for bid on domain auction house GreatDomains.com.

According to Saint Nick, he’s been so busy that he just hasn’t had time to do much with the URL himself. So, he’s hoping that whoever buys SaintNick.com will put it to good use for all the good boys and girls.

The auction begins on November 29th and ends on December 6th, which falls right on Saint Nicholas Day.

Those who would like to make a bid for Saint Nick’s URL should visit SaintNick.com on November 29th.

Holiday domains are a rare breed of domain name. They sit idle all year and then “blow up” for a short time span. Domain Name News checked a few of the sales sites and found very few great holiday names, obviously a quality holiday domain name like SaintNick.com is also hard to come by.

As domain investor Frank Schilling recently pointed out on his blog :

Holiday names are money in the bank. As the Internet fragments our interests the holidays become an ever more important rallying point.. something we can all collectively get excited about together.

Some other holiday domains for sale :

SantaClausOnline.com (developed site)

AskSanta.com

ChristmasPresents.com

ChristmasCarnivals.com (developed site)

ChristmasDeals.com

HanukkahCard.com

XmasCard.com

Xmas.mobi

Additionally if you are an investor in ccTLD domain names or you build sites in the UK, Sedo is also auctioning a few very nice ccTLD domain names that end tomorrow (Tuesday, Nov 27th) :

Christmas.co.uk

ChristmasGifts.co.uk

ChristmasHampers.co.uk

ChristmasDecorations.co.uk
