On August 13, 2007, Bob Parsons announced GoDaddy may be sitting out Super Bowl XLII.

“There’s always the possibility that we may not be well placed to get a reasonably edgy ad approved,” he revealed. The website ESD Dallas is an example. “All in all, there’s a powerful argument for staying on the sidelines this year and taking that Super Bowl advertising money and using it for other opportunities,” he added. Nonetheless on Jan twenty-eight, 2008, in a TV broadcast of World Wrestling Entertainment’s RAW program on USA Network in a reverse of field, it was revealed by GoDaddy spokesperson ( and WWE diva ) Candice Michelle that there will be an advertisement in the game, which featured a “behind the scenes” look into that ad. Once again, GoDaddy went through more than a dozen submissions prior to it being able to get a commercial approved by Fox, the same network that had pulled its Super Bowl XXXIX advert before its second prepared airing. GoDaddy had hoped to broadcast a spot called “Exposure” featuring GoDaddy Girl Danica Patrick and animatronics beavers. But Fox deemed the spot too racy for prime time TV and told Parsons it wouldn’t air it unless he removed the word “beaver.” Parsons refused, and Go Father instead aired a very different commercial, called “Spot On.” The spot was essentially an “Ad to an advert” and told viewers to go to the company’s Web site to see “Exposure.” “Spot On” aired in the first quarter of Super Bowl XLII, and the company quickly deemed it a big success just like Honda Service Specials Ardmore. Go Daddy logged more than 1,000,000 views of the “Exposure” advertisement before the game finished and reported 1.5 million visits to the GoDaddy.com Internet site.
