Pope Mania!

Just hours after the world's new Roman Catholic leader is named, more than 600 domain names are registered at GoDaddy with keywords such as Pope, Bergoglio, and Habemus Papam.

Godaddy will be lapping this up,

I bet these buyers would convert at a better than average rate for $1.90 Cialis & "This stock is the new #1" emails.

Please note i am aware it should be poping, although that one was taken in 2002 and most likely not for this reason

"PopeFrancis.com could have easily gotten over 1 million TYPE INS!"

He is dreaming with that prediction. If the .co.uk has 80 visits the .com is probably in the thousands. It junk traffic to boot. They aren't making money for anyone except godaddy, literally.....the guy with the .com hasn't even changed the DNS on it away from godaddys own page.
