Meme kicks of domain registration spree.
There’s nothing like a funny phrase in a debate to start a meme. And when there’s a meme, there are domains to be registered.
Earlier this year there was Clint Eastwood and his chair. That spurred dozens of domain registrations.
Last night there was Mitt Romney and his “binders full of women” comment at the debate.
A Super PAC was standing by for any possible meme moments in the debate and snapped up Bindersfullofwomen.com a couple minutes after the words were uttered.
They weren’t the only ones.
As of this afternoon people had registered 128 domains including the word “binder” at Go Daddy as the meme caught on.
The average number of domains registered at GoDaddy.com each day including the word “binder” is four.
I don’t know what’s more incredible: 128 binder domains since the debate, or that an average of four domains are registered with the word “binder” on a typical day.
Of course, it didn’t take long or some of these to hit eBay. BindersFullofWomen.XXX can be yours at a buy now price of $500.
and they will all be worthless and forgotten after the election…………
@ Alan – or in just a few days
How did you determine:
“The average number of domains registered at GoDaddy.com each day including the word ‘binder’ is four.”
The only way I can think of is to do a day-by-day analysis using data from a site like DailyChanges.com. In this case, you could search for domains containing the string ‘binder’ from all the ~new domains~ found on GoDaddy’s DNS (domaincontrol.com). But, as the data is only offered in daily tranches, you’d have to repeat the analysis MANY times to come up with a ‘daily average’.
If different from above, are you able to share your method of determining ‘average daily GoDaddy registrations containing the word ________’?
Cheers,

@ Steve – my method is simple: ask Go Daddy
🙂
And if you wondered why KKR invested in goDaddy it was cheaper than buying or building a casino in Vegas and the bottom line is the same: The house always wins!
You can still register fullofwomen.com – hurry!
I have Binders.es for sale – any offers please?
@ Andrew
Well, that’s definitely a more efficient process! 🙂
