Nationwide Domain Name/Yard Sign Conspiracy

Posted by timothy on from the tragically-yes-I'm-single dept.

robertjmoore writes "Everywhere I go lately, I see these lawn signs that say "Single?" and then give a URL with my town's name in it. Being a huge business intelligence geek with too much time on my hands, I decided to track down who was behind them and wound up uncovering ten thousand domain names, a massively coordinated and well-funded guerilla marketing machine, and the $45 Million revenue business hiding behind it all. Hot off the presses, these are my findings."

    Okay, I understand the need for new and fresh content to keep the customers coming back, but an article about a dating site that uses town names from across America?

    I am not quite which is more sad. That this article got approved for the main page, or that I am taking the time to point out how sad it is?

    I, for one, welcome our massively-coordinated and well-funded guerilla marketing machine overlords.
