Its actually a very old domainname! But Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher doesn't own it.

Actually Joe is not even Joe, his name is Sam. And he is also not a Plumber.

Well, for all of you looking for samtheplumber.com now: Its also taken since a long time.

Something like "Joe the Plumber" can only happen in the USA. This is Media driven. And I wouldn't be surprised, if Joe is at either of both paylists.

i know its all a bunch of BS media hype

John McCain wishes now he never called on this Joe Sixpack-totting Sarah Palin. It's as redneck as it gets and despite that it'll cost them Virginia.

I even tried JoeThePlumberSucks.com

According to Business Week, the night of the third presidential debate the site logged 32,000 views and more recently it has been up to 320,000 per day. They also claim to have been offered $800,000 for the name. Not sure I'm buying that.

If they turned down a $800k offer, they might as well be known as "Joe the Dumber."

Another one destined for oblivion in a week or so...

I would not register such domains.

I own a few plumbing domains and can tell you they pay very well on clicks.... This guy should of had the domain parked right after the debate.. I'll bet he would of pulled in at least 5K by now.

 

[loscocco]

if gone from being worth reg fee to an alleged $800k overnight and tomorrow it will be worth little more than reg fee again.

Money down the proverbial drain

That is true...or set out a deal with Sendori to divert the traffic to an end source directly....I would say if the numbers are even close to what they are alleging...they would make 5k a week easy.

One thing is for sure, JoeThePlumber in Amarillo Texas must be very busy these days... Even though all of his work is local, the recognition he's getting off this will last for many years to come.

...until McCain-Palin revive it for their 2012 Campaign. :rockon:

What is this guy waiting for before he sells ?

This domain should be sold to some sucker right away

I swear, some people don't have a clue

I'm betting he is a greedy person

Probbaly thinks the domain is worth millions and millions

geez, sometimes the stupidity is so frustrating to watch

Ya know, I have Sarah Palin's favorite motto... GetHerDone.com Had it for years, if she get's, well who knows what the value might be $15-20 maybe??? :lol::lol::lol::smilewinkgrin:

 

[radioz]

The Amarillo company owns 'JoeThePlumber' in every common extension. I'd sell it if they would put a link to the .NET which would be my new plumbing site. On the other hand, they could parlay the site into a franchise much like 'BenjaminFranklinPlumbing.com'. That's a lot of work but for the short term who doesn't know 'Joe The Plumber' now! That would be a decent reason for someone to buy the name. Actually, a national company like 'BenFranklin' could get some use out of it too.

I thought it was 'You Betcha' as in 'You Betcha', Sarah Palin is highly UNqualified to be VP!

It not so black & white.... When it's the name of your Business, the Business you worked your tail off building, it's not so easy to give that name up.
