ten days is short, but if youthink about it, it is very targeted and gets a lot of hits. I guess you could compare it to networksolutions 80 cpm

FYI
Normal price is $225,000 for 10 days. The average costs per customer turns out to be around $350.

Only the really large firms can afford such prices, as they can justify it by market value.
When they sell their hosting deparment, or being taken over, they can easily ask $350 or more for one client.

This is something a small to medium hosting firm cannot take into account, as they will not be able to get $350 for a client paying $15/month.

It is just good salespeople who say that this $150,000 is a good deal. Look at the facts, 10 days on their site or buy month long adverts on sites that match or equal their visitor hits.

What it boils down to in my mind is that it is a total waste of money, no way to justify it. If you are really set on spending that kind of dough on something like this why not just give it to me! :smokin:

You are right, that is the way some big companies are thinking. But I think they are wrong.
A company has to make money. If I compare a webhost with a restaurant, do you think they are clever if they give every person who enters their restaurant the first time 100$ and tell the astonished person "oh, it's all for market share"? That would not work even if they give the money not directly to the customer but to an advertisement company. And please don't tell me that advertisement has two purposes, to do branding and to sell a specific product - I know this already. But it all depends on the amount spent, and $350 per customer in this business is by far to much.

It makes you wonder whether they make more money from selling ads than they do registering domains
