First Godaddy.Com Commercial Of The Superbowl, Sucks!

The first Godaddy.com commercial of the Superbowl just came on, and it was not very impressive.  It started with everyone watching the tv waiting for commericials to come on, while a guy was in the background on the computer.  They say, commercials aren’t what they used to be, and all migrate to the computer to watch a beautiful girl walk toward the screen while unzipping her leather race suit.  Then the commercial ends.

While this may be effective marketing due to sex selling in ads, this is bad for the industry in general.  Then we wonder why no one takes this “Big Money Business”, the domain industry seriously.  It is a shame that Godaddy has to resort to such unprofessionalism to sell their product IMHO.  I Bet the next commerical is just as offending and insulting to the industry as well!

   Hi Steve,

   You have to remember that GoDaddy isn’t trying to target the domain professional through these commercials. They are simply targeting every simple consumer out there to purchase a domain name or two, period. If you can get 10% of the 90 million viewers to purchase two domain names, that is 18 million domain names. Ok, let’s be realistic… even at 1% to purchase one domain name that is still 900,000 domain names at full $8.95 price. I don’t blame GoDaddy for aiming for the masses and that’s what they do.

   Professional domainer is looking at either affordable registration ($6.95) or inside to release/delete domain names, period. And of course now that domain name “tasting” is being eliminated, I think we will see some great domain name come available, or back to the technology a company has to offer.

   Just my thoughts.
