Hi David, I truly wanted the list's opinion - as web-surfing, programming geeks - and individuals. And not really an expert's opinion. To contradict my own request, I have to say that getting traffic to a site truly doesn't have to do any more with the domain name. I know many sites with rather long, weird, highly forgettable domain names that are making milli`ons of dollars in sales. My own site WebmasterInABox.net is tremendously successful (by my own initial expectations) in spite of being a .net and not a .com domain name. Traffic can be "driven" to any web site using the right techniques. Doesn't really have to be a good name. So, I truly wanted the opinion from you guys. - Ravi http://WebmasterInABox.net At 01:01 PM 7/19/03 +1200, you wrote: So, technically, I got only 10 votes from ALL of my own friends, and the WDVL group. Ravi, That may be because you need to talk to Internet branding experts, and we are not - as far as I know - those people. You might try reading books on this topic if you can't find a suitable consultant. There are a few about.

The book I mentioned is The 11 Immutable Laws of Internet Branding, by Al and Laura Ries. But search somewhere like Amazon for 'internet branding' and you'll find quite a number of books on this topic.

-> 1SiteAutomation.com That must have been something coming up late on the outside rail - I don't even recall it being on the list when I voted. Are your bets covered by having OneSiteAutomation.com registered too on this? I'm sure there's a need for a research paper on Psycholinguistics of Domain Names As it happens, a father and daughter team has written about this topic, but I can't find their book at the moment.

Don't feel bad the moderator of another list put up a poll on who useful people found one of the articles. He got 6 responses from a list with 1400 members and he is the one who decides who gets to post. Cheryl D.

Ravi, I emailed you so did you count that vote? Jan http://www.jdvisions.com Joseph Harris wrote: That's a lot better Ravi. Good luck with the plans.

But hope floats ;-) I finally decided on the following name: -> 1SiteAutomation.com Phew! Now I can breathe easy :-) That was a touch decision to make. Ended up registering about 10 domain names in the process. Wasted a few dollars. But I have plans for those other domains ;-) I'll give then away for free to my top performing affiliates once my web site is up and running. Good idea, huh? :-) Thanks everyone who voted. Appreciate your time and effort. Look forward to anything you may have to say about my final choice.
