We’ve helped 1,000s of domain squatters: Yahoo Ad

Ad claims Yahoo! helps “domain squatters” build websites.

Nat Cohen sent me some screenshots of an ad Yahoo! is running to promote its webhosting services. I think domainers will get a rise out of the message.

Slide 1: Although Nat wasn’t able to capture the first slide, it states something to the effect of “Jerry registered a domain in 2006”.

Slide 2:

jerry-2

Slide 3:

jerry-3

Slide 4:

jerry-4

So there you have it. Yahoo! has helped thousands of “squatters” create their websites.

At least they didn’t say “cybersquatters”.
