Otlob.com isn't a startup; it's a ghost. A domain generating millions in revenue but zero direct traffic, serving as the invisible backbone for Talabat's UAE operations. This is the anatomy of a redirect strategy that dominates a market without ever showing its face.

"Otlob.com is the ultimate zombie domain: technically alive, financially potent, but functionally dead to the user. It exists solely to capture value, not traffic."

The tech stack tells a story of aggressive performance monitoring (New Relic) and conversion tracking (Google Ads, Facebook Pixel), despite having no visible organic traffic. This suggests heavy investment in paid campaigns that bypass the domain entirely, funneling users directly to Talabat's ecosystem while Otlob remains the invisible attribution layer.

• Zero organic footprint: A domain that ranks for nothing yet commands revenue.
• Redirect strategy: Users don't visit Otlob; they are redirected from it.
• Brand consolidation: Absorbing the 'Otlob' identity into Talabat's empire.
• Trustpilot paradox: 2.9 stars from just 2 reviews suggests minimal customer interaction.
