What do these ladies have to do with domains

simon · Jul 11, 2006

Where ever u log
www.registerfly.com
www.godaddy.com
www.moniker.com
www.netsol.com
www.bluerazor.com

one thing is common. Did u yet figure it out? I was just wondering why all of them have a picture of one or the other woman.
Is it that most of the domainers are male and they are likey to register if they see a blonde/brunette in the site
or are these woman in some way related to the owner of these sites.

What are your thouths? Seems like its standard thing with the registrars to put a picture of a lady in their sites.

Good observation Simon. I think this is part of their PR strategy to lure us into registering more domains!! Beautiful lady on site= many domains registered!!

Your sig, Simon,
It should be losing not loosing

I think they do that for the same reson that switchboard voices are almost always female. It is harder to get upset at a woman, we want to treat them better

Add my site to the list with females... dollarsfromdomains.com.

I think it is only natural you put a pretty woman next to something it makes it look better! See how much better some of my crappy domain names look?

I think women feel comfortable with other women and men (most) like women. You can't lose!

Well, to me they're not so cute... I'd say that whenever female webmasters want to register somewhere, they'd be happy to see a business woman's face, that makes them more confident to see another woman in this tech men's world... And of course it is still pleasant for men too. Your opinion?:bump2:

One more domain host to ad to the list with pretty female spokesmodel:

Grampa Josh

Would you buy domains from a business named grampa josh?

VividChoice · Jul 27, 2006

Is it just me or is the Godaddy chic kind of creepy? She is everywhere! I even found her on MY reseller site! :laser: :wave:

GRAMPA JOSH? Guffaw. In the DOMAIN business???

Hey, Sedo has no pictures of anyone -- male, female, androgenous or hermaphrodite!!

I just spotted a vixen on planetreseller.info/. You gotta scroll down a bit but there she is. Personally, that dude on planetdomain.com/ gives me the creeps. I would never buy from a place with like that.

Foodie, I agree Sedo has a very basic looking site but they are starting to take some risks in their Google advertisements!
