ultsearch
ultsearch: google schmoogle
ultsearch (known under the alias Yun Ye) is an icon. He’s a legend in his own right—yet he’s also a vague apparition whom no one really knows about. His concept is simple: Pillage and plunder the net, one site at a time. And so far, it’s working… to the tune of six-figures… per day. In February 2005 ultsearch (aka Name Development Ltd.) sold over 100.000 domainnames to internet marketing firm Marchex Inc. for $164.2 million.
