A nice website name is a + but not the key to success when you guage how much money will have to be spent to meet other needs. Better to spend that type of money on solid technology and viral marketing.

If these domains were marketed the results would be incredible. Let us not forget that would of cost AOL millions and millions more for consumers to learn AOL73905.com rather than AOL.com. Let’s not be nieve about real estate again.
4 Dave Evans January 25, 2005 at 6:10 pm: More than a million? Don’t confuse AOL branding with meetgirls.com, two totally different levels off brand awareness at play. Date.com paid $40,000 for the domain a few years ago, that’s a much better number to base value on.
5 Fernando Ardenghi February 8, 2005 at 8:36 pm: I think that domain names are only like phone numbers. Today a person does not need to remember the number, just only use the cell phone directory to locate it and then press a button.

If a phone number is more easy to remember than others does not matter, most persons have the number in the cell phone or PDA memory!!!

Cordially,
