It’s recently been reported in the media that many fans of Susan Boyle have decided to register domain names such as susanboyle.co.uk, susanboyle.com, etc in the hope to strike private deals with Susan officials so that they can cash in.
I’d like to make it clear that cybersquatting was not the aim of setting up this website. The goal was to provide fans with information and updates on Susan Boyle in a simple and minimalistic way which is easy to understand. The only revenue I earn from this is advertising and the t-shirt selling (which, by the way, wasn’t my idea).
Besides, which official company would want susanboyle-bgt.co.uk as their website address? None, I would imagine. Even after registering the domain, I was soon embarrased by the extra “-bgt” on the end and people even criticised it. However, saying that, any official company willing to buy this off me, I would gladly make some kind of deal – but that is not what I’ve set out to do.
Even so, this site is slowly drawing to a close. It’s not updated much anymore, so we’ll see what happens.
Adios.
