I think that's it. Send them an email and sell them the domain.

The CNN story was the 17th from the looks of it, but looking at the traffic starting to go up some prior to then, I'm not sure if much of the traffic is attached to that or not. It would appear some is but college has started in more places too surely, ergo more people searching for this stuff and typing the domain in.
Looks like Chegg already has RentTextbooks.com which is a far better name searchwise. Good to know of them though - may be worthwhile doing affiliate with them.
Renting textbooks is definitely a good idea - wish that shit was around when I went to college - they cost an arm and a leg to buy and collect dust and/or reseller for shit after you're done with the classes.
