Codepad – The ClassHelper.org™ Blog

Earlier today, I received an email reply from Bill Sweetman at Tucows (1). Tucows has worked with the company that handles the advertisements displayed on their parked/portfolio domains to disable the automated search algorithm responsible for generating the landing page for “classhelper.com”. My review of the updated landing page shows that it displays generic advertisements that are unrelated to content hosted on ClassHelper.org. Additionally, they have removed the search box from the landing page. These good faith efforts are greatly appreciated, and I feel that they address our present issues with confusingly similar  content.

I understand that our views on this matter have differed from those expressed by Tucows via Mr. Sweetman, and I would like to state our appreciation for the civil (if strained at times) manner in which we’ve been able to communicate. We can’t fault Tucows for taking creative measures to earn revenue, as long as those measures don’t infringe on the rights of others. We’re glad Tucows has chosen to respect our rights, are are pleased with the effect of dramatically reduced confusion on the part of members of our community who seek to utilize our resources but mistakenly type “.com” instead of “.org”.
