Who needs to monetize with ads when you can just sell the entire site!

I remember seeing the site, BeTheBot.com being linked on Digg’s frontpage. I saw it, shook my head, and moved on. An idea implemented many times over many years, it just seemed like another shot against Digg.

And so when I came across the beforementioned link today I let out a hearty laugh. Basically what happened was as follows:

  • Domain registered on Feburary 14, 2007 to Kavi Siegel (cvxdes)
  • Website and content put up that very same day.
  • Domain gets dugg that same day also.
  • Three days later, domain/site gets sold for $500

The really interesting thing about this is because of domain tasting (ie you can get a full refund minus 25 cents on any domain within 5 days) our friend Kavi would have been out only 25 cents (plus some of his time).

I’ve decided to jump on this bandwagon - digg this post so I can sell it (just this post) …
