One of the best ways an organization can defend against cybersquatters is by registering multiple domain names<\/a>, it has been claimed.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Worcester Business Journal<\/em>, Michael Kennedy, head of search engine optimization at Boston Web Design, said companies and public sector bodies should consider using a variety of top level domains.<\/p>\n

While their website may be hosted at a .com domain<\/a>, there is a chance Internet users may attempt to access the portal using an alternative such as .net or .org, he explained.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kennedy urged organizations to snap up a number of similar domain names, helping to prevent cybersquatters from using these locations to divert traffic from the main website.<\/p>\n

He suggested that one domain name — potentially the .com address — could be used for the main website, while others could be used for blogs or landing pages.<\/p>\n

“If they don’t want to bother keeping up a blog, the next best option is to simply have the secondary addresses redirect visitors to the same site,” Mr. Kennedy told the news provider.<\/p>\n

The World Intellectual Property Organization recently reported that the number of cybersquatting<\/a> cases reached record levels during 2010.<\/p>\n

According to the body’s Arbitration and Mediation Center, the number of reported cases increased by 28% during the 12-month period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
