I predict the SEO circle jerk will out them soon for begging, borrowing and or buying links. Way to blow up their spot.

  It's not going to matter. Godaddy already has about 100x the external links that NameCheap does (according to SEOmoz[1] and Majestic SEO[2]). If NameCheap moved up, it was for reasons other than external links. 1. http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons?site=www.godaddy.com&comparisons%5B0%5D=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.namecheap.com http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons?site=www.godaddy... 2. https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/compare-domain-backlink-history?d0=namecheap.com&d1=godaddy.com&d2=&d3=&d4=&type=1&ctype=1&entries=12&IndexDataSource=H https://www.majesticseo.com/reports/compare-domain-backlink-...

    GoDaddy also has north of 50 million domains registered versus 3 million for Namecheap. If I understand correctly, GoDaddy doesn't make any (or very little) of domain sales, it's the other services like hosting, email, etc that generate the revenue.

      How much GoDaddy charges for domains has little to do with their SEO ranking. They do use it as a loss-leader because most people starting a new site search for domain names over hosting when starting out.
