Demand Media, Inc. is an American content and social media company that operates online brands such as eHow and Cracked, and is known for creating online content through its Demand Media Studios division based on a combination of measured consumer demand and predicted return on investment. Demand Media's business model is controversial because its "content farms" have been accused of polluting search engine results with spam. The company also provides social media platforms to existing large company websites and distributes content bundled with social media tools to outlets around the web. The company also owns eNom, the world's second-largest domain registrar, and as of 2013, the most abused/abusive registrar of domains used for spam email, according to URIBL.
