What happens when the organization you pay dues to, who is supposed to be on your side and working for you decides that they want what you have? Take a look at this post on the bloodhound blog.
So you work hard, building a brand up, paying your dues and one day you are told you are ‘confusing’ people?! Okay. Fine. Take the site down because it is copyright infringement (a little bit of a stretch). But then they decide no, we want to take all of your hard work as well. Hey Sarasota Association of Realtors, what happened to serving your members? What is next? Trying to claim any url with Sarasota + real estate? Sarasota + homes?
C’mon, take the high road while you still have a chance. Why would you intentionally try to drive out of business one of your own members? Check out Cal’s post about the Sarasota MLS grab.
Thanks for stopping by preview vegas condos. Want to help Marc? Post the SAR Jacking badge on your website (available at the Bloundhound blog) or write about Marc’s new url.

Go get ‘em Charles!
Now SAR has 301′d the domain to their site. Hence talking all links and traffic that Marc worked so hard for. Bastages!
