      The site is a PR3... are my eyes playing tricks on me? And the background song fascinates me because I can't make out the full lyrics. Oh well, need my sleep now. PR3 indeed - with just a bunch of hippos...

      Here's to "Content is King"

    That is funny! They could link to "The Biggest Loser" site I guess and put some weight loss ads on there!

    True, that's probably why there's a bunch of hippos dancing there... Clickbank should have them take it down anyway so that they can use the domain to redirect to their site but I guess its not worth their time.

    It's simple enough to figure out why this is - they bought or registered this domain. However the .com of it is a major company, they didn't want to be seen as registering it in bad faith (else they'd have a C&D very quickly)

    Hence they put up that page, full of non-relevant content (since even adverts relating to shopping would be seen to be leeching from CB's brand name) to reduce their risk.

    I haven't bothered to check if CB have TMed their name (I assume they have) so it's a pretty silly registration anyway.

    I guess they are just holding out for an offer of less than $4k (since above that CB could file a UDRP and win the domain quite easily)

    Googling complete Url's can be an interesting exercise! In this case clickbank.org/! becomes www.hippodance.com/ and vice versa...

    Click on Google's similar! If you dig deep, in most cases you'll find a mix of interesting info, details and ideas to Brainstorm on and kick around...
