Article Abstract:
Companies, advertisers, and pranksters have found the fun of creating fake Web sites to enhance their image and be part of the giddy alternative to electronic commerce. Sun Country Airlines, with BVK McDonald invented wwwheybill.com which the company plays with for "relationship marketing" as opposed to its www.suncountry.com business site. Steve Fink and Steve Casino produced the fictional www.goblertoys.com merely for their own fancy. And Ted C. Fishman's parody site, www.FreeWheelz.com evenutally sold his domain name for his fake company for $25,000.
