Where does GoDaddy.com get their money? Selling domain names can't make that much money. Not only do they keep their business running, they also sponsor a bunch of race cars, run lots of ads - even during the Super Bowl - and have their own "GoDaddy.com Bowl". Somehow they also have the money to support SOPA and send their chairman elephant hunting.
I always assumed that it must be a largely automated company. Really just a web page backed by a sparsely staffed data centre in Hong Kong or something, so most of the $1.95 you spend on a domain goes into marketing. But now they have a new round of ads trumpeting their support staff. These ads are slightly less overtly sexual, and they do at least insult both genders for once. But what's really perplexing is that they're saying they've got 2000 web site consultants.
Where are they getting the money for this? That would be like Walmart suddenly revealing that every store has a team of highly-trained shopping consultants. But one thing is for sure: Danica Patrick sold her dignity for way too low a price.
