In November, Demand Media transformed itself into a new entity, Leaf Group Ltd.
The rebranded company began trading its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, under the new ticker symbol “LFGR.”
Sean Moriarty, CEO of Leaf Group, stated:
“Our company has evolved significantly over the past two years and Leaf Group is a fresh new name for a fresh new business.
With the strong growth of our marketplaces and the vibrancy of our media brands, now is the time to highlight our progress and celebrate our mission of building creator-driven brands that connect with passionate audiences across lifestyle categories.”
With that in mind, a specific domain portfolio is now being transitioned from Demand Media, to Leaf Group Ltd.
We identified several such domains that changed ownership:
101-publishing.com
4x4tv.com
allabouthairstyles.com

Although it’s currently under WHOIS privacy, it forwards to their primary web site, LeafGroup.com.
Many thanks to Nadia for the note.

Why didn’t they acquire LEAF.com? as surely they will leak traffic from leaf.co to leaf.com as invariably all .co’s do.
Julia – Because that statement is a myth, when you are a media company. Getting the .com would be costly too. Nice picture of a leaf on the .com, I like autumn.
$89k is nice round figure. Sometimes rebranding isn’t enough. Let’s hope they have the drive and follow-through to go with it.
