Hurricane Irene - related domain names started being registered within minutes after the hurricane has hit Puerto Rico and was reporter to be heading to East Coast of U.S.
As expected this was a big opportunity for many domainers who are trying to profit off of a tragedy by selling the domain names.Even though there isn't much value in these domain names,Internet users registered domain names HurricaneIreneAssistance.com and hurricane-irene.com.
Hundred hurricane-related domain names were registered last Firday and Saturday alone.However,the vast majority of domain names will never sell or get any traffic.This doesn't stop some of the so called domainers to put this domain names up for sale on eBay .
