Internet Brand Development

A Message From Our CEO

Rob Grant CEO
Internet Brand Development.com

Welcome to
Internet Brand Development.com

Internet Brand Development.com was founded in 1996, almost a decade before mainstream companies understood or recognized the remarkable potential of the internet - or the strategic value of descriptive generic domain names for branding and e-commerce.

In those early days of the internet, there were no Googles or Yahoos. In fact, search engines did not yet exist. The world wide web was expanding rapidly with millions of web sites being added daily. But to search and find anything relevant on the internet required a great deal of patience and time.

However, out of this chaos came great opportunity for companies with vision.

Our mission was simple in those early days. To acquire what we believed might someday be extremely valuable and strategic assets in the form of generic, highly intuitive URL's. Our belief was that as the internet continued to evolve and grow, descriptive category domain names would become the powerful new Brands of the electronic age.

In 1999, the domain name Business.com sold for $ 7.5 million igniting a landrush for valuable generic domains. This was soon followed by the sale of Loans.com to Bank Of America for $3 million.
In the years to come, many high profile domain sales would make headlines ranging from $1 million for Autos.com all the way up to $12 million for blockbuster domains like Sex.com.

Today, our company controls a global network of 7000 highly focused vertical domain channels and a world class portfolio of strategic domain brands ranging from www.FourWheelDrive.com to www.RecordingArtists.com to www.PreFabHomes.com .

Our innovative search platform is driven by direct navigation - one of the most powerful and intuitive processes by which consumers search the internet by typing a domain name directly into their web browser window. This network of highly targeted micro-portals provides advertisers with laser targeting and conversion rates far exceeding ordinary search engines.

As an example, consumers searching for Tropical Fish simply type in www.TropicalFish.com and find exactly what they are searching for - without the distracting clutter or frustrating ads and pop-ups of conventional search engines .
Likewise, consumers searching for Talent Agents simply type in www.TalentAgents.com .
Consumers searching for Catholic Schools simply type in www.CatholicSchools.com.

This unique and very powerful Direct Type-in traffic has been shown to convert at rates far above industry standards and represents a significant ROI for advertisers looking for extremely focused search marketing solutions.

InternetBrandDevelopment also operates large online directories like www.RealEstateDirectory.com which controls one of the worlds largest networks of premium real-estate and finance domains providing advertisers with a seamless marketing solution covering 90% of the global marketplace.

Our worldwide brands include major international markets like www.LondonRealEstate.com , www.TokyoRealEstate.com , www.TorontoRealEstate.com , www.NewYorkRealEstate.com , www.AtlantaRealEstate.com , and thousands of other strategic locations around the globe.

Our recent partnership with leading companies like www.TrafficZ.com and www.LeaseThis.com enables us to provide advertisers with radically new marketing solutions which maximize the full value of our highly targeted generic domain portfolios.
www.LeaseThis.com represents the first company to offer exclusive Domain Leasing on a scalable, global platform providing companies with a unique opportunity to control premium, category domain brands in markets around the world.

We invite you to preview a sample of our national and international real-estate and finance network.
