RootOrange.com Contest Offers Free Ticket and Hotel Room for DOMAINfest Global

Our latest monthly newsletter was emailed to opt-in subscribers last night. The newsletter includes a profile of RootOrange.com, one of several new companies that have sprung up to offer alternate ways to monetize domain names. The Root Orange system makes it possible for domain owners to lease a single name to multiple businesses based on their geographic location. Our newsletter features an interview with company co-founders Camilo Acosta and Frank Langston who detail how the system works.

Here is another bit of news from Root Orange that is not in the newsletter. In an effort to persuade people to try their system, the company is running a contest that opened today featuring a grand prize that will give the 

winner a free hotel room and ticket to the DOMAINfest Global conference coming up January 26-28 at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel in Santa Monica, California. The contest winner will stay at the show hotel for four days and three nights at no charge. Seven other contest entrants will receive $200 discounts on DOMAINfest Global tickets. 

Entering the contest requires the following three steps:  

1) Follow Root Orange on Twitter (www.twitter.com/rootorange) or become a fan of Root Orange on Facebook.

2) Send a list of your domains that you would like to use in Root Orange's localized leasing domain monetization service to [email protected]

3) Complete agreement with Root Orange to enter the domain names Root Orange accepts from your list into Root Orange's monetization service. You will receive one contest entry for every domain moved to Root Orange. 

All entries must be submitted by January 15, 2010 at 11:59PM EST. Winners will be chosen at random. You can review the complete contest rules here

One other note today - .biz fans will be interested to know that URLCollection.com has decided to put the company's own portfolio of 1,228 .biz domains (including city names, country names, 3-letter domains and category defining product names) up for sale in a single lot. 

You can see the complete list of names in the portfolio in this thread at DNForum.com. The company said it will accept bids on the portfolio until the sale closes on Friday, January 8th, 2010 at 5pm (U.S. Eastern time).
