I logged into my GoDaddy account today to renew some TLDS and decided to look around for any new domains that were golf related. I thought the results page from GoDaddy’s domain search was ridiculous enough to warrant a short post.

Here’s what the GoDaddy site looks like after I search for ohiogolfcourses.com:

And here’s that same search after I remove all of the gratuitous advertising, worthless information and flashy graphics:

This is just the search page. Anyone with experience actually purchasing a domain at GoDaddy knows that the sales pitch gets even louder and more intense as you try and navigate through their checkout process.

Now I understand everyone wants to make a buck and I’m fine with that but this is crazy. Unfortunately, I have a suspicion that this ad assault performs quite well for GoDaddy’s bottom line and things will stay this cluttered for a long, long time to come.
