Ed Lover’s C’mon Son! Domain Name Trouble
by Jabari JohnsonMany YouTube stars have websites of their own where they can direct their audience for more information, merchandise, and much more. With the viral success of radio personality Ed Lover’s “C’mon Son!” video series, (the series reached over half a million viewers in under two months), it seemed that the next step for the video blogger would be his own website.
That step was interrupted when an online opportunist bought the CmonSon.com domain in hopes of selling it to Lover or the highest bidder on Ebay. The owner of CmonSon.com states, “Ed is a wildly popular NYC radio show host and his mention of this site is certain to draw traffic for quite some time. If you know anything about internet marketing then you know that obtaining traffic is the hardest part.”
In Lovers latest “C’mon Son!” video blog he responds to the domain owner by bragging about his CmonSonOnline.com site that is parked but has not yet been updated.
CmonSon.com has generated some interest as the site’s hit counter reads 7,949 visits to date. There is no official launch scheduled for CmonSonOnline.com but this can be a lesson to all: If you have an idea, purchase the domain. It’s certainly better to be safe than sorry.
