Brian should be buying the domains that are likely to be searched for... which includes all those mentioned. I'd bet many more people would search for "Brian Horn Scam" more then they would " I hate brain horn..." But for a cost of a few dollars apiece, it might pay to pick up all of them. (Especially when you find a godaddy coupon for a .99 cents domain... :-) Rob,

I've bought the "sucks" version of domains before too. Take that a step further, and actually create a site (BrianHornSucks.com and BrianHornScam.com) and optimize it for those phrases. Of course, spin it to why you are not a scam...or why you don't suck. But then you own the top spot if someone does search those terms. Thanks for all the comments and additional ideas.
