Hello,

I've just joined the forum.

I understand it's a tradition to post your worst site so here goes:

I'm looking forward to becoming part of the community.

Hi there. Nice yoga site but tradition is actually to post your best and worst domain names.

If only I had a best site ....

Welcome to the forum

It's best and worse domains and not sites, doesn't matter if they're undeveloped.

Best domain could be ineedahaircut.co.uk

Hi, Index

Don't take this the wrong way but if that's your best i suggest you do some research.

The main thing with domains is commercial viability, is the domain a generic such has a product which will be searched for ?

Or will businesses be interested in purchasing the domain ?

What you have there is something which would need marketing in order to get it noticed and that cost money.

Good Luck with domaining, please take a look at what sells.

You raise a very valid marketing discussion topic viz; generic verus brand I'm personally of the view that (and this has always has been the case) the generic opportunity is somewhat less than that for branded. You are right though that building a brand requires considerable resouce and knowledge and is not without a degree of risk. It's also sometimes difficult to distingush where generic marketing stops and brand marketing begins.

Having said that I would agree that the above name may have a pretty limited appeal - but people do the most extraordinary things - sometimes!

Completely agree on the generic / brandable debate, i have for sale on my website Spooking,co,uk and have it on my brandable domains page and not generic domains page.

Some would say this is generic but then a generic is anything in the dictionary and ASBO is in the dictionary.

There appears to be no line
