Firm Sends Press Release Following Buying $1,088 Domain Name

Firm brings fresh meaning to “pumping”.

I’m not sure what it’s like being a firm traded on the pink sheets. But a lot of them try to do whatever they can to hype themselves.

Today The Amergence Group (PINKSHEETS: AMNG) sent out a press release titled “Amergence Group Successfully Bids on and Purchases PanPacific International Domain Name.” The firm bought PanPacificInternational.com from BuyDomains “in concert with its venture partner, PanPacific Business, Inc.”

I know what you’re thinking. That doesn’t seem like premium domain, or anything notable enough to send out a press release. But when you read “bids on and Purchases” and “with its venture partner”, you’re thinking there must be some serious money involved here.

$1,088.

Yep, that appears to be the “buy now” price that The Amergence Group paid BuyDomains to acquire the domain name. A listing for the domain is still on Sedo with that price.

“Bid” might be a strong term for “made an offer” or “clicked the buy now button”.

But I suppose if The Amergence Group was trying to get some visibility from this, I just gave them some. Now if only they updated the web site at the domain from BuyDomain’s content page to something relevant prior to sending out the press release.
