*** Here Is A List Of Some Of The Best Domain Name Resources Available ***NEW YORK, NY – Back in April I wrote about the “Category Killer Domain” Shoes.com which was acquired in a $9M transaction by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. Today, it looks like that investment is being put into good-use by retail giant Wal-Mart. The transaction began in late March of this year and by April 29th 2017, according to the Archive.org website, ShowBuy.com began redirecting to Shoes.com

Smart move Mr. Lore. Keep pecking away at the Amazon beast.
Great Post on the acquisition and on the instant benefits from the Shoes.com EMD by Walmart.
Similarly, Zapatos.mx and Zapatos.com.mx are ideal EMDs for Walmart’s and Amazon’s expansion into the Mexican Retail Market.
“Zapatos” is Shoes in Spanish and “.mx” and “.com.mx” are the ccTLDs of Mexico.
