I looked at nissan.com, and its a shame that the site is basically internet trash and lame ads.

Apparently the man's virtue and principles worth more than whatever you would put instead of those "internet trash and lame ads"

All the people who go to "nissan.com" looking for info about their car and having to spend more time finding the site, while small for each person, add up to a lot of wasted time in total. All for an insurance ad. Taking the web owners rights out of the equation, it seems like a misuse of the domain. Yes, I get how he bought it first, but it just seems wrong.

Truly, think of how benefit would be gained if we were to eat the rich and redistribute their property!

Why would you do that?

That's not quite how property works.

Correct. My feelings on this were basically: It's a shame that the domain could be put to a greater use. The owner could utilize it better. But under no circumstance would I say that he as the owner couldn't do what he wanted.

It looks like it was created in FrontPage 98. That said, the buttons on the left work and he is actually running a small business selling computer products and services (such as programming @ $90/hr).

What's more, the site is holding up just fine under the _crush_ of HN visitors. Static HTML FTW. :)

I was trying to negotiate a deal with him to advertise my consulting services on his site. We also bounced ideas about turning the domain into something more meaningful.

The HTML source says FrontPage 4.0, but Wikipedia says there was no version 4 [1].

FrontPage 4.0 is FrontPage 2000. I know because I remember using it.

It would be really interesting to know how much revenue this site earns him.

Unsurprisingly, car insurance has a high cost per click rate.

http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2095210/How-Google-Make...

maximum $54.91 per click back in 2011.

Since then, the ranking has been taken over by mesothelioma lawyers.

$370.53 per click.
