That BuySell.com seems to be the only real web presence for
Nor'Westing. http://www.norwesting.com redirects there, and they do
seem to have most of both Nor'Westing's and BoatJournal's articles from
the past couple months:

That's odd. I wonder why they are flying so low under the radar?

That's quite a convoluted corporate structure. It appears to be a holding
company built upon other holding companies.

BoatJournel and Nor'westing are listed as "partners" to Buysell.com which is
a division of Classified Media Canada Holdings Inc. according to the
website, which appears to be a division of or connected to something called
Trader Classified Media. Trader Classified Media is a public company with
stock sold on the French Euronext-Eurolist and is described on their website
as follows:

__________________________________________________ _____


"Trader Classified Media is a global leader in classified
advertising, focusing on
the categories of vehicles, real estate, employment and general
household merchandise.

The Company delivers services to its customers through the
Internet, print, mobile
technologies and direct mail.

The Company produces 365 print titles,with 6 million readers per
week, and hosts 40 websites, with more than 13 million unique monthly
visitors (over 25 million unique monthly visitors including SouFun's traffic
of 12 million unique monthly visitors).

The Company was founded in 1987 and today employs 3,400 people
in 13 countries".

__________________________________________________ ________

There is a press release indicating that Trader Classified Media
acquired BuySell Ltd in July of 2005.

It's not clear if BoatJournel or Nor'westing are owned and/or
controlled by Trader Classified Media or any of its subsidiaries or
divisions.

Trader Classified Media appears to be involved in the marketing
of just about any product on earth.

Maybe Chuck can provide some insight.

Here is another company using the same marketing strategy as Trader
Classified Media.

That's my story and I am sticking to it!

Reggi! I must be dumb as a post. I don't see any similarities between
the 2 outfits. What did you have on your mind? I don't think it would
be wise to jump to any conclusions on this issue. Things may not be as
they seem to you.


you might be correct. When I read both web sites, I read it that both
of them were using one business or brand(Printed Media such as
Northwestn and Boat Journal) to generate business to their web business
(BuySell.com).

RitzInteractive is using the brick and mortar stores brand recognition
to generate business to their web based business Ritz Interactive.

from their web site.
Ritz Interactive is a network of e-commerce websites. Led by its
flagship sites RitzCamera.com, WolfCamera.com and Boatersworld.com, Ritz
Interactive represents a diverse group of properties in different stages
of growth. Each site, branded and marketed individually, is dedicated to
bringing unique product offerings to the e-tailing shopper. Ritz
Interactive and Ritz Camera Centers are separate companies.

It might be I how was dumb as a post, but they both seem to be in the
business of using conventional business to help them generate traffic to
an online ecommerce.
