WRTA's Stolen Domain Name Cash Parked for Illicit Financial Gain - See Multiple Screenshots of "What It Looked Like"

The stolen domain name of the World Religious Travel Association (WRTA) possessed great value in financial dollars as an asset, which was a direct result of the substantial financial, promotional and other investments that WRTA made regarding it.

As such, WRTA's domain name (ReligiousTravelAssociation.com) was featured on many other organization and media websites and also obtained a #1 Google search ranking for popular search phrases such as "religious travel".

For above reasons and more, custodians of the stolen domain name cash-parked the stolen domain name in order to monetize and earn financial gain from it. And that brings us to the point of this blog post.

In the image below, you will see a collage of screenshots taken in May 2010. In short, as you review the image, keep in mind during the time of the domain's theft and monetization by the illicit custodians of it, whenever someone clicked on the stolen domain name from other websites (i.e. The New York Times website, etc.), that person would then be brought to the cash-parked website. Thus the World Religious Travel Association lost revenues while the domain thieves/custodians profited off "hot" (stolen) property.
