And the Popesquatting winner is…

A number of people registered domain names of potential fresh Popes. And the person I covered in our previous posting won by registering BenedictXVI.com. As stated by an article in Wired.com called Picking the Pope’s Domain Name, Rogers Cadenhead is seeing 100 hits a minute to the domain name.

The domain name right now forwards to his blog, which as Google Adsense on the right side. The ads are regarding Rome and the Pope, and he’s getting some click-throughs.

Let’s wait to see what he does with the domain 🙂
