strange its written namedrive.com , wat url is it ?

its just a screenshot, cant guess anything more !!

 

[Ian]

i am confused as well , this mite be some other domain name with name drive written over it, that is all i can think about

 

[DNjet]

the address bar shows only 2 "w"s .....ww.namedrive.com

thats close observation, surely namedrive would be running it !
but now im thinking how does that happen ww. ?

 

[DNjet]

it would act the same as any subdomain ....login.namedrive.com....referals.namedrive.com ...etc..etc...they must have typo subdomains redirected to parked pages, but why not redirect to the index page is the question.

Namedrive are certainly being greedy here. they could just redirect to their main page.

oh wow, i never thought about that ww subdomain , surely learning lot from here

That's funny, because for me the only sponsored link is actually namedrive itself. What are they thinking? lol

its due to targeted ads,
it shows me many ads

Yes, I know that... but like me, many others will see only that link. I think they should redirect all the subdomain traffic to namedrive.com

Probably they are losing money. And that's not necessary...

Hi guys,

Yes we do own the page, the subdomains seem to be going to this page instead. Doesn't make much sense, so I've asked tech to change it.
It's not really a case of being greedy!
