I came up with the name psychobabble4u and have been blogging under this name for over a year. WordPress has been trying to sell me the domain name for a while. Imagine my horror today when I tried to Google one of my old blogs and someone else’s domain comes up under MY BLOG NAME.
Pirating domain names is a really scummy thing to do. The images it evokes is of pornographic filth like a spoofed website of the White House website, or mean-spirited political attack site directed at a former President.
This was a mediocre psychology website with no traffic, purely looking for a way to get more hits on it, so they stole my blog name, pure and simple.
One does not randomly come up with a domain name like psychobabble4u. One steals it.
If your writing is so pathetic and lame that you can’t even come up with an original domain name for your blog, I’m guessing that your blog and advice for your clients is on the same level. In fact, if I were your client, I’d be making a call to my insurance provider right about now to check on your qualifications to make sure they were legitimate. You can never be too sure these days. The kind of person who steals a domain name is surely capable of faking professional credentials. Having worked in the health care industry for a number of years, I’ve seen it done before.
And rest assured, I do not endorse psychobabble4u.com – I had the name first and they swiped the domain name when they saw it was available.
And if you are the owner of your newly purchased piece of slime, rest assured that you have made yourself an enemy. Feel free to peruse through my blog and if indeed you are a psychologist, you might know what kind of a person you have crossed.
Just a little update… after a little poking around online, I have learned that my little pirate has been claiming to be a psychologist on his blog, when in fact he is only an LCSW. The plot thickens…
Your website says that you do not bill insurance directly. One too many scuffles with the insurance company over unpaid claims, perhaps? Mental health providers always do tend to be the nervous types when it comes to requesting payment for claims…
