You can't buy your way onto that page. It's editorially driven and chosen. Inclusion and ranking will be driven by who I think is best for its audience, not anything commercial.

I think you missed the part where this very site, which gets plenty of traffic, is hosted on Bluehost. Check out Jeffro's comment above.

On the elephant / Godaddy thing -- yes that was terrible. (And don't forget SOPA!) It was also four years ago, and the entire management has changed since then. Is it fair to penalize an organization of thousands of people for something so far in the past, done by people no longer there? Just like people deserve second chances, so do organizations.
