- Celebs.com Announces Joint Venture Opportunity - LOS ANGELES and
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Domains For Media
(http://www.domainsformedia.com/), experts in domain name
monetization, today announced at DOMAINfest Global in Los Angeles
that it is seeking a joint venture partner to help it develop
Celebs.com into a new media property. Viable partner candidates
include those with proven success in domain or media development --
such as a major online or offline media company, studio, magazine,
online portal or others wishing to enter the growing celebrity
market. The ideal partner will be able to demonstrate a process it
employed in a similar development project, and the ability to apply
it to Celebs.com. Experience in the celebrity market, or a related
one, is highly desirable. "Celebs.com benefits from a large volume
of natural daily traffic, and it is a highly brandable and easy to
remember domain name," said Eric Rice, President and founder of
Domains For Media, which recently completed an agreement to help
develop domain properties Skateboards.com, Surfboards.com and
Snowboards.com. "Celebs.com is arguably the best domain in the
celebrity space. Celebrity properties represent a strong market
opportunity right now. With the right partner, Celebs.com can be
become a highly successful media venture. We have the right domain,
and a new player can come in and compete immediately. A strong
partner with the right resources is all that's needed to grow this
niche domain." The celebrity market is currently experiencing a lot
of growth. Much of that growth is fueled by online entities that
update celebrity content very quickly. TMZ.com and PerezHilton.com
have become two of the biggest media properties on the web. After
the most recent Britney Spears incident, PerezHilton.com reported
it received over 10 million page views in just 24 hours. These web
sites are generating revenues via advertising dollars from some of
the largest niche brands in the world. Both are quickly becoming
major media outlets. The perfect partner for Celebs.com will likely
have the resources to execute an entire business plan around
developing this domain property. All aspects of the business will
be the responsibility of the partner. Domains For Media plans to
consider 4-5 partner proposals in the next 30 days and make a final
decision by the end of February. While the preferred relationship
is to partner with an experienced company on this project, an
outright sale of the domain name will also be considered. Potential
partners interested in working with Domains For Media.com should
call 443-421-0000 or send email to to better understand the
parameters for submitting a proposal. About Domains For Media
