Visicom Media Network or VMN.net is a Web portal with a number of free services for users. Its headquarters is in Brossard, Quebec. The domain VMN.net was ranked by Alexa.com in the top 1000 websites by the end of 2007, and broke into the top 100 around September 2008—it was ranked in the top 50 domain-names globally as of June 2009—see http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/vmn.net Most of the traffic is sent to the urlseek.vmn.net subdomain, which seems to be associated with error-redirects of the VMN toolbar (installed in the enduser's web browser as part of various third-party products).
