I'm actually surprised that they DON'T have X10 ads or some other ads up there already! Hell, if you're going to do it, really fucking do it!
I have no idea how many hits sitefinder is getting, but it must be quite a few, hundreds of thousands a day maybe? We are talking the ENTIRE 'net here after all... If you owned a business, how much would you pay for your add to be seen tens of millions of times a week?

This is amazing - and quite sad. If you don't appreciate what this means, open your web browser, and enter an URL by running your hand across the keyboard, and add ".com" or ".net" at the end. e.g. http://fbbgqqweffewq.com Expecting a "server not found" message? Guess again: We didn't find: "fbbgqqweffewq.com" There is no Web site at this address. Search the Web: ____________________ Search Popular Categories: Travel Entertainment Gambling Shopping Gifts ... Copyright� 2003 VeriSign, Inc. All Rights Reserved There are lots of DNS implications for this, not to mention wasted network bandwidth and caching proxy server. Perhaps people can start billing VeriSign for these wasted resources? Next thing you know, they'll be selling banner ads up there for casinos and X10 equipment.
