Bad Domain Names, or "What Was I Thinking??"
June 29, 2006

Posted on 06/29/2006 8:43:40 AM PDT by Dog Gone

These are all registered domain names of legitimate companies or organizations.

Someone should have thought twice.



1). A site called 'Who represents' where you can find the name of The agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name is: www.whorepresents.com

2). 'Experts Exchange', a knowledge base where programmers can Exchange advice and views at: www.expertsexchange.com

3). Looking for a pen? Look no further than 'Pen Island' at:
www.penisland.net

4) Need a 'therapist'? Try 'Therapist Finder' at:
www.therapistfinder.com

5). Then of course, there's the ' Italian Power Generator Company' - www.powergenitalia.com

6). And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales: www.molestationnursery.com

7). If you're looking for computer software, there's always
www.ipanywhere.com

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is www.cummingfirst.com

9). Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their
wacky website: www.speedofart.com

10). Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at:
www.gotahoe.com

IOW,
if your name is a plural, don't call your site an exchange!

The whole spanish nova thing never actually happened.

It's an urban legend.

The chevy Nova sold fine there. The word "Nova" implied newness to them just the way it does to us.

It's interesting about domain name importance. However, check out the figures below - here are the top five most expensive domain sales in the last few years:

Business.com – $7.5 million
AsSeenOnTv.com – $5.1 million
Altavista.com – $3.3 million
Wine.com – $2.9 million
Autos.com – $2.2 million

I am not sure how such an investment – paying millions of USD for a simple name – can be recovered and used to produce profit. There was a story about Coca-Cola, which said that if the company lost all its infrastructure, but kept the name and brand characteristics, it could bounce back in about 4 years. However, if the company managers were left with all the infrastructure, but lost the Coca-Cola name, the company would be very likely to go bankrupt. Do you think this is also true for domain names?

Funny.

4) Need a 'therapist'? Try 'Therapist Finder' at: www.therapistfinder.com

Reminds me of this:

Connery: I'll take "The Rapists" for $500 Trebek.

Alex Trebek: That's "Therapists."

#4 reminds me of the bit in Arrested Development where Tobias claims he is an analyst and a therapist, the world's first analrapist.
