Cool game! I just set http://www.asteroids.com http://www.asteroids.com to redirect to your app store page for the next couple weeks.

The simplest gestures are often the best. Well done.

While the gesture is noble, you may end up hurting him/her in the long run. If media start linking to your domain rather than to the appstore page, he'll have broken links and lost pagerank if/when you decide to do something else with the domain. Having said that, what a great domain!

  Plus if somehow Google thinks asteroids.com is a spammy domain (for whatever reason), it'll now be associated with his game.

    Wow, if it's that simple, that is a great way to destroy a competitor's domain's reputation in Google, isn't it?

      Unfortunately it's even easier than that to destroy a domain's "Google reputation." Go on fiverr and buy a ton of spammy links, direct them at your competitor. It runs about $5 per 100,000 links last time I checked. (I've never done it, but it's a common blackhat technique).

What a noble gesture. On an unrelated note, I have some domains parked of my own, and I realized this is a great way to use them - help drive traffic to apps. And perhaps if he makes enough money from the app, he'll buy the domain to make a landing page for it. Plus it's really great to see a domain thats not parked with those stupid ads.

  I'm doing the same using this service. http://domains4good.org/ http://domains4good.org/ Now, developers.lv redirects to awesome page instead of doing nothing.

    Wow, this is fantastic! I will definitely spread the word.

Hah, that's a great idea. I just redirected comebackwithawarrant.com to the EFF as I'm not really doing anything with it. Also - congrats to OP on the launch and all the post-launch attention. Must feel good :)
