You're putting the cart before the horse. Going by domain name is the equivalent of planting your business on the side of the highway. You're going to get a ton of traffic just based on walk-ins alone.

To have worked at a company who had one of the most profitable domain on the planet. I confirm!

Internally, we used to call it the money printer. It was so obvious that revenues were flowing because of the domain.

Quite curious now, give us a hint!

Not allowed to disclose.

What about taking the generic domain name and redirecting to a domain name for your actual brand?

Unlikely to work half as well.

>I want to go to Amazon for my books, not books.com.

Funny that, books.com seems to be owned by Barnes & Noble. I wonder what that domain cost them originally and how much traffic goes to it.

I have a feeling that the average internet consumer would sooner click dogsitting.com over rover.com

appointmentreminder.com

bingocardcreator.com

care.com

> appointmentreminder.com

except it's a dot org.
