I accidently went here...

http://wwwdropzone.com/

i wanna try this sky diving thingy...

[BillyVance 35]

The first page were all references to skydiving in Alabama... Only the first link was for the USPA member drop zone Skydive Alabama in Cullman. The rest were for Skyride's DZ in Pell City.

Typical Skyride tactics.

I wouldn't nessecarily jump to pin that on a particular company/skyride etc. Sure, it could be them, but it's equally as likely to be another one of those damn search portal companies.

All the skydive results for me were UK websites, unrelated to skyride.

I've had various domains for years.. they've snapped up several I've let expire, and similar spellings/typo versions of others, and all are basically search portals. Any search results are syndicated, so they receieve money for clicks.

As much as I hate them, I've considered making one myself, easy way to make some pennies

I'm not saying the website is run by skyride... my reference was to the number of links shown FOR skyride DZs... 4 links/websites all referring to the same DZ?

Like I said, typical skyride marketing tactic...

For what it's worth, misspell-redirects are a multi-multi million dollar business.

popups?
ancient history!



I've spent a lot of company money purchasing such sites so as to minimize public perception...just redirects to main webbie site. Takes all the fun out of it sometimes!

They must have bought the redirect. It used to be what happens in this video...

Yes, and if a certain party would JFGI, he would have seen a company whose domain registration is in 7 digits.
