In a previous post, I wrote about Google’s possible foray into radio advertising with the acquisition of dMarc. However, offline advertising with Google is already becoming a reality with the advent of Google’s new auction for print ads in some magazines.

For one hour today between 4-5pm EST, Dotster.com will be offering domain names for only one dollar. There is a limit of 1 domain name per order, but you can make unlimited orders. Any .COM, .NET or .ORG domain can be registered.
For all those domainers out there, this should be quite an event. [...]

Google recently purchased dMarc for $102 million. According to dMarc’s press release:
“dMarc connects advertisers directly to radio stations through its automated advertising platform. The platform simplifies the sales process, scheduling, delivery and reporting of radio advertising, enabling advertisers to more efficiently purchase and track their campaigns.”
