I came across an interesting company recently, Galt Networks.

According to their website the company formed in 2003, is in the domain name monetization business and provides consulting services in the areas of Internet Strategy, Performace Marketing and New Venture Creation".

The principal Kan Johar is a graduate of the Richard Ivey School of Business. He oversees and manages the monitization of domain portfolios, and is involved in a "number of highly innovative web ventures within the advertising, new media, and finance industries".

CanadianBusiness.com reports that Galt was recently named as one of Canada's top emerging growth companies by Profit Magazine which ranked Galt 7th in a list of 50 up and coming companies.

The company which claims to be "responsible for some of the most highly charged web properties on the web" reports that the ranking was due in large part to the strong growth in its traffic monetization related activities.

As claimed, Galt is in fact responsible for some pretty highly charged websites. Here's a list of domain names registered to and being monetized by Galt:

Personally I'm going to pass on Galt's consulting services. I'm not down with their strategy.  

It's hard to know who to trust on the Internet. A little html, a little press, and voila, instant expert! Don't believe everything you read, regardless of the source.

To be fair, Galt does own a couple of domain names which I think may be  apropriate for their business:

ClusterHeadaches.ca, Plagirism.ca and Preditor.ca seem to be particularly suited to their endeavours although the plural of the last domain might have been preferable.
