[推薦]Godaddy.com要在美國超級盃時推出的廣告

[哈啦]

這個廣告已被福斯電視台拒播 ，好像是在一個有關網路審查的聽證會上，godaddy.com派了一個美女去的樣子。
這個美女真是一級棒(如果沒去人工改造的話 ? )

會想出這種廣告點子也真有一套 ~ 真山東人說 - 她奶奶的!

這就讓我想到Go Daddy他們在南亞海嘯後捐款美金25萬（原本捐2.5萬，後來加十倍），實在了不起，光靠各註冊能夠有這的多錢捐實在不簡單說。

他奶奶的，這樣我們大家不也間接捐了不少
對他們的年營業額開始好奇

[哈啦]

看起來網名註冊業前景不錯，不然為何連google也潦落去了。

剛去看他們老闆的blog發現底下兩個有趣的事：
1. A 30 second spot on the Super Bowl is currently selling for a list price of $2.4 million dollars. To that number add the production cost associated with making a decent commercial. That’s about another million bucks. So the total investment to be a 30 second Super Bowl advertiser is about $3.4 million. It breaks down to be about $113,000 a second (time here is very precious*grin*).
2. Our sales this year were over $100 million. If we do nothing different (other than continue to promote our business the way we have been) our sales for 2005 should be about $170 million.

簡單來說
1. 在超級盃放30秒廣告大概要花上340萬，
2. 他們今年的營業額預估170 million。

1.靠
2.哇靠


一秒鐘要燒掉十一萬美金以上。

一億七千萬美金約等於一千七百萬個註冊量(就算一個十美元好了)。就算有一半的業務是靠別的例如流量、主機等業務，那也得要有八百萬個網名註冊量才行。
就它一家能有那麼多嗎？

godaddy 的名字及商標的由來
轉載自： http://www.bobparsons.com/index.php?...d5578ca997c39c

Perhaps I’ve been asked this question as much or more than any other. So it’s about time I stepped up and provided the answer. The story here is not nearly as glamorous as we’d like it to be, but it’s a story nevertheless.

I founded the company back in 1997 and upon doing so I named it Jomax Technologies. I named it after Jomax Road, which was an old dirt road I passed on the drive to work.

Fast forward to 1999. We had our first product (the very first cut of WebSite Complete) developed and ready to take to market. At that time we found ourselves at the height of the dot com boom. The noise was loud, every stupid idea imaginable was getting all the money it wanted, everyone was giving everything away and it was next to impossible to stand out from the crowd.

The one thing we knew for sure was that no one would remember a name like Jomax Technologies. So we decided to dig in and try to come up with a better name. We worked for about a week and came up with nothing we liked. Then one day our new name literally fell out of the sky. Barbara Rechterman (my right hand person to this very day) and I were in my office. Someone said “How about Big Daddy?” A quick check revealed that it was taken. Then I said “How about Go Daddy?” And by golly, the name was available, so we bought it. 

When we first bought the Go Daddy name we thought it might be a bit too silly to use for our name. But we told everyone (more as a tease than anything else) that “Go Daddy” was going to be our new name. We continued to look for a better name but found nothing. Meanwhile the staff, and anyone else who heard our funny new name, fell in love with “Go Daddy” and it stuck. 

We noticed two things that most always happen when someone hears the name “Go Daddy” for the first time. 1: They smile. We like that. 2: They remember it. We love that. So we changed the name of the company to Go Daddy Software, Inc. 

The next thing we needed was a logo. This story is a bit more interesting. 

I called a designer friend of mine, named Connie, who lives in Iowa and hired her to create a logo to go with our new name. Over the next few weeks she sent us a number of preliminary designs, none of which we liked. One night she and her little daughter were playing on her computer and drawing various images. She thought that one of the creations they drew that night was fun so she sent it to us. What Connie and her little girl drew that night we now know as “The Go Daddy Guy” and after taking one look at it we knew that that would be our logo.

We probably get as much comment on “The Go Daddy Guy” as we do the “Go Daddy” name. Because the “The Go Daddy Guy” has a star on his head, and I wear a diamond earring, I’m often asked if the logo is supposed to be me. In response I say, “well I don’t have orange wavy hair, don’t own a pair of green sunglasses and I’m three dimensional.” grin The Go Daddy Guy was never intended to be me. 

So that’s the story. Our name “Go Daddy” has no meaning other than we thought it was kind of fun. And our logo “The Go Daddy Guy” was born one night when a mom and her little girl were playing around doodling on their computer.

果然老美的企業是由available domain來決定他們的企業名稱。而不像那個什麼台北什麼中心的，先對外宣佈了企業名稱之後，隔了一大段時間才想去註冊他們的網名，而且「很驚訝地」發現他的網名無論是.com or .com.tw竟然都已taken了。
