Kevin Murphy discovers type-in traffic

Murphy registers domain name related to PRISM scandal. It gets traffic.

Domain Incite author Kevin Murphy is a lot of things. He’s a great writer, an expert in all things ICANN…

What he’s not is a domainer. But he “dabbled” in it yesterday with his registration of TurnkeyTyranny.com. The term was uttered by Edward Snowden, who leaked the NSA Prism documents.

Murphy tweeted this afternoon that the domain has received 130 hit in the past 12 hours.

Turnkey Tyranny

But, in keeping with his lack of domaining skills, he hasn’t parked the domain. He’s just forwarded to an article on The Guardian.

Murphy will soon be able to verify that traffic to current event domains is short live.
