NEW YORK, NY - Empire Relations Group Inc. announced today that it will auction its extensive list of political blog domain names on eBay beginning on April 27, 2006. With names such as 2006electionblog.com, raceforthewhitehouseblog.com, republicanselectionblog.com, presidentialraceblog.com and politicalracesblog.com, this is one of the most extensive lists of domain names ever to be auctioned off at one time. The entire list contains over 300 domain names.

These domain names can be used to create blogs for news organizations and political candidates. Ultimately, they can be one of the most economical ways for news organizations to build brand awareness. In the case of political candidates, blogs can be used to reach constituents and/or swing voters efficiently and economically.

Kenneth Maciora, Chief Executive Officer of Empire Relations Group commented, "How valuable would it be for a news organization to refer to politicalracesblog.com or presidentialraceblog.com after a news story? This list is a very valuable list of domain names. Blogs are extremely easy to create. Blogware can set up a blog in less than an hour and anyone that can write effectively can run these blogs for a news organization or a political party."

Mr. Maciora continued, "Because these domain names are laden with key words, the blogs associated with these domain names will have an advantage to rank well in the search engine results. I don't believe there is a cheaper way for a political party to deliver a message to its constituents or swing voters than through a blog. In the case of news organizations, what a wonderful opportunity to build their brand."

Mr. Maciora concluded by saying, "Blogs are of increasing value to businesses throughout the world."
