GoDaddy = Piles of Spam!!!

A spammer using a domain provided free by GoDaddy, which sends people to a domain hosting service (which in turn advertises GoDaddy) has been putting spam on this site at a very high rate over the last few hours (many have gotten through).

Does this mean that GoDaddy, the internet service provider, is spamming mysite, or merely that GoDaddy is funding the spamming of my site? Do you use GoDaddy? If you do, then YOU are spamming my site, then, aren't you?

All of you stop it.

Mike Haubrich and I are developing a science oriented podcasting effort. It will be called "Ikonokast" (all the good names, like "The New York Times" and "Apple" were taken). We decided to enhance the podcast with a WordPress based blog site, perhaps with each page representing one podcast, and…
Me and my Internet Service Provider go way back. I got my account with algonet.se in early 1995 and put up my still current web site there after a few months. I've been using my e-mail address there as my main one ever since, publishing it indiscriminately all over the web and UseNet, and still I…
One of the much-hyped benefits of social networking is that it provides a way to get personalized recommendations about businesses from a wider network. If I want to tell the world that the coffee place in my neighborhood has the best cappuccino this side of Seattle, I can do that (and it does)!…
Second Life is a virtual reality site, superficially similar to some massive multiplayer role playing games one finds on the net (like World of Warcraft). But it's not a game but a social venue. I've tried it out and posted on or mentioned it several times (here, here, here and here). Second Life…

godaddy is one of the biggest if not the biggest provider of domanin registration, I have registered many domains there in the past but no longer do it because its now much cheaper to use google's domain registration services.

Andrew, I'm not sure what a domain holding page is. Is that just an empty page where there is a domain, holding? If so, that is not what I'm referring to.

What I'm referring to is comment spam that is dumped on this site at the rate of a hundred or so per day, for a few days at a time, that points to web sites where you can purchase domain names. We are then told that if we purchase the domain name AND use GoDaddy as the hosting service we get a 50% discount.

So the GoDaddy part is the fact that they have entered into a deal with a domain hosting service and the spam part is that they spam that ad.

In addition to that note the spam comments above, which I've left in place as a demonstration. Go Daddy does not mind embarrassing itself, apparently.
