Poor Domain names for businesses

November 21, 2005 by Chuck | 1 Comment

These are actual domain names, but for one humorous reason or another, they convey a secondary humorous or offensive message that distracts from their “mission”.

Perhaps that’s why some allowed their domain name to go up for sale like

“Experts Exchange:Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views.”

It’s domain? ” expertsexchange.com”

As far as working websites go, suffice it to say that companies promoting tourism to Pen Island (wherever that is) didn’t have the foresight hyphenate the the name to pen-island and – believe it or not – had to post this disclaimer on their website … “If you received an offensive or vulgar SPAM email from our address, please click here for more information. ”

Actually the list I found had several more such domain names in the same ilk like a power generation company in Italy called “PowerGen” then the “Italian” form of Italy, “Italia”. Put them together in a domain name and you’ve got a serious miscommunication problem for English readers anyway.

Actual domains with “unintended consequences”.

You might consider that before purchasing your next domain.

    I’m interested in purchasing domain names. New at this, so I see I have a lot to learn. Just not sure what would be right for my site.

    I see also I will have to track PR of these domains and somehow check traffic.

    I just don’t understand why they are not bumped off engines if there inactive.
