I know, REBA is a country singer, but her show is (was: its over now) funny. Anyways, they said "bigblondeblog.com" on the show, and I bought it as soon as they said it, and forwarded it to my blog just to see what it would do. Well, I've had over 300 hits to my site since then. I know it isnt a lot, but I was thinking, a LOT of times there are domains mentioned on tv, and if we can catch them fast enough, they might be monotized into some affiliate sales. (wish I would have origionally sent it to an affiliate and not my blog).

Just thought Id share :Yahoo_29:
 


I think that's a rarity, most of the time when they mention web sites on TV shows, it's well planned in advance and the site contains some kind of stupid shit that makes the fans wet themselves.
 
I've tried this with domains mentioned on other shows, but they have always been registered by the time I checked.

Click to expand...

A character on the last Scrubs was wearing a shirt that said TheToddTime.com and stupid shit is exactly what the site turns out to be :repuke:
 
CSI mentions LadyHeather.com on a couple episodes and rather than being a psuedo-real dominatrix site, it just redirects to the CSI website
 
yea, i was watching benchwarmers and they had the "please stop with the shit tossing its getting old DOT COM" mentioned in it, and they had a site up about the benchwarmers. I guess I was just lucky to get the domain today. Not that its going to do good after today unless reruns start, but ah well. I just thought it was weird I got it and actually got a bit of traffic with it
 
I think a lot of TV producers would take the time to register a (fake) site that they were planning on mentioning in an episode.

Then again, I've noticed a few shows that didn't. I didn't register them just because the traffic surge would be high at first and then die off to nothing.

In the long run, it's not really worth it... just like pop culture events. You might get a nice amount of traffic at first, but the people blindly typing the URL into their browser probably won't be too interested in the content of the site. They just want to know if it actually exists. Then, they move on.
 
anyone who got hornymanatee.com typos (from conan o'brian) is probably getting a ton of traffic. On his show they said they got about 3 million visitors in 3 days.
i was gonna try to get some but i think im done with typo traffic

HornyManatee.com
 
I was watching Conan O'Brian once and he did a clip called "Horny Manatees." He said that there was even a website about it. Of course, the website wasn't real...at the time. On a subsequent episode he mentioned that the producers of the show told him that any website that they mention on the air, they have to own. So there is now an actual site at HornyManatee.com that, at the time he mentioned it on the air, got around 300,000 hits per day or something crazy like that.
