Relevant email ads for domain name advertiser
View Patent ↗Systems and methods of the present invention allow for providing suggested domain names in connection to email messages. An email message is sent from a sender to a recipient. A domain name module generates suggested domain names based on the properties of the email message (e.g. content and headers) and/or based on the properties of a network connection utilized to view the email message (e.g. user's geographical location). Suggested domain names are embedded into the email message or displayed in proximity to the email message. A user viewing the email message may notice an appealing domain name among the suggested domain names. Then the user may register, purchase, or backorder it. The invention may be used as a marketing technique for registration, sale, or resale of the domain names.
