Before You Brand, Check the URL

From WeirdTechNewsHub via Fark, the 10 Worst URL Flops are:

1. www.whorepresents.com
2. www.expertsexchange.com
3. www.penisland.net
4. www.therapistfinder.com
5. www.powergenitalia.com
6. www.molestationnursery.com
7. www.ipanywhere.com
8. www.cummingfirst.com
9. www.speedofart.com
10. www.gotahoe.com

Never underestimate the importance of due diligence in branding.

  1. Make the logo bigger says:

    Problem is, if brands aren’t buying mis-spellings of their domain names when they run search-based marketing efforts, potential customers could get referred to just those kind of sites.

  2. Owen Lystrup says:

    And who names a church Cumming First?

    Honestly. No one ever even considered that might be a bit weird?

    “I go to the Cumming First on Mammary Drive.”

  3. SB says:

    Bill, if I’m not mistaken, I believe your url originally was http://www.makeitbigger.com.

    I’m glad you clarified it.

  4. SB says:

    Perhaps if you attended Cumming First, you wouldn’t have such a dirty mind, Owen.

  5. Ike says:

    Owen, I thought the church had to be a joke. But if it is, someone spent way too much time making it look real, without the payoff of Landover.

  6. SB says:

    OK, Ike…you’re close to crossing our line in out-links.

  7. Tim Jackson- Masi Guy says:

    Oh man… that is some bad stuff… I laughed so hard.

  8. Jim says:

    I’ve seen these before, but they still make me laugh out loud. My goodness.

  9. Paul McEnany says:

    Holy Shit. That’s 100 percent gold.

  10. Make the logo bigger says:

    Actually, my original was going to be gotahoe.com, but it was already taken. Damn cyber squatters.

    ;-p
