Lots of lice in .com last month.
Verisign has published its monthly trending keywords report, showing the keywords making the biggest jump in domain name registrations compared to the prior month.
Clinic came in at #1 on the list and Lice is #4. This is thanks to a whopping 1,600 domains registered by a lice removal clinic. It registered names such as LiceClinicsArlington.com and LiceClinicsIllinois.com.
