I liked the article, but had a hard time connecting it to the title.
I think, based on the title, the author was implying that SalesGenie is a "big company" while GoDaddy is a startup. GoDaddy is younger, but it's not much smaller. SalesGenie.com's revenue in '05 was $383 million while GoDaddy's estimated revenue was $200 million.

- brezina 20y agoGood call Sam. I should have chosen a better title. Maybe something like, "If you have $2.5M to spend on marketing you should at least spend $15/hr on website testing." The funniest thing is if you google "salesgenie superbowl commercial" our blog is the second result. http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=salesgenie+superbowl+commercial&btnG=Google+Search http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&q=salesgenie+superbowl+commercial&btnG=Google+Search We got a lot of click-throughs from a small town in Iowa which happens to be the home of Salesgenie.
- danielha 20y agoOh man, that commercial is pure cheese. If you guys ever somehow drunkenly decide to blow $2.5M on a commercial, make sure to include gratuitous explosions and an extended car chase sequence. Then, of course, relate it back to email somehow at the end.
