The Godaddy.com "enhancement" ad with Danica Patrick was the most-watched commercial in the Super Bowl.
TiVo Inc. made that determination by combining the number of people who watched the ad live and went back to see it again on their digital video recorder.
Placing the ad in the game's final few minutes was a huge gamble that paid off for Go Daddy Group Inc. If it had been a lousy game, much of the audience would have drifted away, but the gripping finish between Pittsburgh and Arizona kept fans watching.
Todd Juenger, general manager of TiVo's research department, says eight of the 10 most-watched ads came in the second half.
