Why Brand monitoring? Domain names are often used as a means of digital fraud and trademark infringement. It can affect companies of all sizes and in all branches as well as cause major financial damage. Almost all websites with high or medium high traffic are in the risk zone of another party registering similar versions of the website’s name in an attempt to steal online traffic. The purpose is often money-driven – to generate money through ads, selling competing products/pirate copies, or by baiting with gambling/casino services, cheap bank loans, or pornography. It could also be ideologically or emotionally driven, with the purpose to discredit or express discontent regarding a company or a product. Also, companies that are not directly connected to high traffic websites can be victims of infringement. It could be outright fraud (such as email fraud), sales of pirate copies, or reputation hijacking, in which strong brands are used for fraudulent purposes. It could also be vendors on other geographical markets who have created arbitrary marketing that deviate from the marketing strategies of your company. With the roughly 1600 top-level domains we have today, it is seldom financially justifiable to register each and every possible version of a domain name. There are simply too many registrations with all types of extensions and misspellings. Therefore, Domain Monitoring is a good complement to having a smart portfolio management

Domain names are business-critical assets, and they make up the hub of the digital presence for companies and organizations. They are crucial for the online availability and provide the very base for the digital infrastructure with email and web addresses. By choosing the right domain name you can strengthen your brand online – and decrease the risk of your business being targeted by digital fraud, threats, and infringement. In the digital world, domain names become important parts in creating local accessibility in different countries, but also to protect your brand against various digital intrusions and threats. What domain names does your business need? Among other things, it depends on your brands and on which geographical markets you are active. Your domain name portfolio should protect your interests against infringement and threats, while also support both availability and growth – for example by being adapted to suit your target group or for generating traffic from search engines. WHAT IS A DOMAIN NAME? A domain name (dotkeeper.com) consists of a word or a string of words (dotkeeper), which in turn is followed by a top-level domain (.com). In order to register a domain name, you need to adhere to the rules for the respective top-level domains. Each top-level domain has its own rules for registering a domain name with them. Some country domains, for example, require that you have a local presence (that is, a local company) or a proof of trademark ownership, in order to be allowed to register a domain name under that extension.
