Domain - Please someone logically explain to me.

This came up in another thread, I am just very curious now.

www.prada.com

What a total waste of a domain name. The overture results for just the word prada are mind blowing. I am sure it is registered to the company and all, but damn! do they like just throwing away money?

Anyone care to give me a logical reason?
Alexa is down for me, any traffic numbers besides what overture suggests for search terms.

I am sure they might get legal heat from "prada" if they havent yet and such if they decide to do something not associated with prada.

No clue really tbh

if it is owned by the company then i would say it might have something to do with a distributors agreement.

otherwise i would say the company doesnt own it and someone is just protecting themselves till they can get rid of it.

If given the choice between prada.com and porn.com I would have to side on prada.
The sheer costs of the products, the fact that it would be mostly women surfing it (buyers+repeate customers), and many other factors.

Are you saying that if you had the chance to reg porn.com or prada.com for the same $8 reg fee, you would take prada??

Overture
porn 1. 2,547,583 july
prada 1. 116,643 july

Porn wins out on searches by about a multiple of 21 times.

My brain factors in - free loaders, underage surfers, conversion ratio's, etc. in my pick.

Retail price of a prada boot: $980.00
Online price of same boot: $749.00
Seller markup: unsure (retail is often typically 30-60% or higher)

Average paysite: 30.00 a month.
Average markup: 50% or 50.00 PPS.

if you spend some time on overture just typing in random adult-related keywords, you will be surprised at what comes up here and there.

i think something like "porn online stars diary" (or something to that effect....) came up when i searched for a specific keyword. its fucked up what people are searching for these days lol

Here's another example of a wasted opportunity.

This domain has been under construction for a long time.

Stupidity I guess.
Seriously if the legalities were ok with the trademark owner, I would rather take the non adult one. Porn is and probablly would be more money. Just less hassles with other.

I honestly cant see what you see in prada.com

porn.com offers 60k a month from just sitting there.

Thats 2k a day with NO WORK. Some people have a hard time doing 2k a day with PROMOTION and shit.

Maybe Lensman should make an offer to buy it. I wonder what the asking price would be if the owner is willing to sell.

Even more insane is that according to archive.org, the index.html for porn.com has been 404 since september 25th of LAST YEAR (2003). Someone should email the owner and see what's up with that. This is the last KNOWN index.html.
