GoDaddy registered twice as many domains as they lost during the "boycott".

The boycott that people have been saying worked seems to not really have done much at all to GoDaddy's business. The latests news is that GoDaddy actually had twice the number of domain transfers in as they did out during the boycott. And overall they actually had a strongly positive day during the boycott. In guess in GoDaddy's case, any publicity is good publicity.

From one of the comments:

Meanwhile, over at NameCheap, they've gotten over 30K domains transferred in to them from GoDaddy, resulting in a contribution of over $60k ($2 per domain) to the EFF.

There were about 10K domains transferred before yesterday, which means about 20K were transferred on the day of the boycott itself. Since NameCheap can't be the only registrar people were transferring their domains to, I have to assume that more went elsewhere. That doesn't jive with GoDaddy's figures of 15K transferred out. Someone is fudging somewhere.
