You knew it was going to happen: cheap services for domain mass development from the ultimate crowdsource of them all.
No, we’re not talking about 99designs here, think bigger. Groupon – the mega-savings web service – is about to enter the “tricks for pennies” marketplace that domainers are so eager to receive.
“Why not? Domain mass development is getting cheaper year after year, month after month, day after day”, said Fred Poupon of Groupon.
“By locating the local services that will bring domain mass development to your door, all domainers eager to receive a $1 logo and a $10 web site will be getting a great deal for their long-tail domains”, he added.
These days, quality does not seem to matter among the throngs of domainers who want everything faster, cheaper and most importantly with unlimited support.
“I don’t get it, why would I pay $300 or more for a logo when I can get it for a buck or two?”, asks Joshua Visvikis from Portland.
“I have 500 long tail domains, all verticals about the tuxedo rentals in downtown Portland. I spent another $14 and got a web site done, thanks to Groupon. They also sent me a developer’s certificate, so now I am a Licensed Groupon Developer!”, added Joshua.
It seems now that Rick Latona‘s premature withdrawal of AEIOU.com from the development market was yet another smart move by the savvy entrepreneur; the Groupon entrance in the specialized services and domain mass development will soon leave no room for marketing and developer professionals with an actual degree in the field.
The whole mass development scheme is a joke if not a fraud. I would never have all my sites developed in one go but rather, individually by a person qualified for the job. Groupon is a joke.
JJInteractive – Nothing wrong with Groupon, the issue is with those that believe “domain mass development” is an actual service.
