Since Drop.com.au (who have a monopoly over catching Australian domain names) began back in 2008, I can’t recall seeing a guy called Raja Jata buying any domain names over the past 26 years.
I’ve spoken to many Australian domain name investors recently, and they can’t recall ever coming across a guy called “Raja Jata” as a domain investor either, before February 2024, that is…
Even in January of this year (2024), Raja Jata did not seem to purchase any Australian domain names.
Suddenly, like a tornado crashing out of the Texas sky, in February 2024, Raja Jata became the Number One buyer of Australian dropping (expiring) domain names when he hoovered up 254 domains from Drop.com.au in February alone.
This means that from the total of 997 expired Australian domains purchased in February, Raja Jata purchased just over 25% of all of them.
Then in March 2024, he purchased 210 domain names, again, around the same percentage for the month of March, and again, the number one buyer of expired domains for that month.
We here at Assets Australia would LOVE to speak with Raja if he has the time.
Hey, Raja, if you’re reading this, please get in contact with us so we can tell your story of becoming a MAJOR Domain Investor literally overnight. We would be seriously interested in what has made you start purchasing all these domain names, for your company “Precise Financial Services” and our community would love to know if domain parking has turned lucrative again, as it used to be in the early 2000’s….
It’s interesting to note that all of the domains Raja Jata has purchased are “parked” at Above.com, which is owned by Trillion.com (who also own Drop.com.au). Trillion claims to be a “Direct URL Navigation” company that sends traffic to people who pay, when they enter a domain name directly into a browser, bypassing search engines…
“Trillion Direct” make money by sending type-in domain traffic to people, who pay for that traffic.
Here is a screenshot of “Trillion Direct” explaining it themselves – trillion.com/direct.html
Here are the domains and companies Trillion owns:

Oh, what a tangled web we weave.
This article about Precise Financial Services reminds me of your article back in June 2022 when you said a company called ASSA (Advanced Safety Systems Australia) came out of nowhere and purchased 478 expired domains for themselves, all in one month, June 2022… Weren’t all of their domains parked at Above.com as well?
Good point Graham.
The links to those articles about “ASSA” coming out of nowhere and registering 400-odd domains in a single month are here;

and you’re right about those domains also pointing to Above.com domain traffic monetisation parking back in June ’22 too, here’s 3 example screenshots today of three of the domains ASSA registered back in June ’22…
