i have a bunch of domains all similar between them and they all are link to my main website name register on 22-Aug-03, but im missing one who was bought or registered almost a year after my site 21-Apr-04 by this company name navigationcatalyst.com.

i contacted them requesting to purchase the domain name, and it seems to me that some robot wrote me back saying that the domain is not for sale. the thing that i hate about it, is that the have the domain park with links to stuff similar to what i have on my site :angry:

what can be my next move to get the domain?

Unless it's worth a lot of money to you it probably isn't worth legal action. I know it's hard (happened to me) but best to forget about it (well at least 99.9% of time) and move on.

like how much you do you think it will cost the effort(legal action)?

thanks.

Navigationcatalyst is the same people that run new.net. Since they have no domain name business they rely on search/advertising. This is what this is

How long is a piece of string? How deep are your pockets? Ask a lawyer for a quote.

i guess i will just keep an eye on the domain, it will expere in a month from now.

i wonder if they are making more money using similar name to advertise related content which i do provive than what i make(pocket change). they dont event want to sell it to me, although i dont think they were the one who register the name, but some one else who has it parked with them.

believe me, everything happens from experience ;)

personally and people i know has offered many ppl $$$$ - $$$$$ worth of money to domains that owners finally forgot and let them drop and we've snap them for half price over backorder services :D
