Agreed. Descriptive.dot.com domain names are the equivalent of generic cereal boxes. I want to go to Amazon for my books, not books.com.
I will never go to food.com, or glutenfree.com, or anything of the like. Amy's Kitchen on the other hand sounds compelling.
I trust my pets with rover.com, but dogsitting.com? No way.
- vinceguidry 10y agoYou'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.
- user5994461 10y agoTo 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.
- peletiah 10y agoQuite curious now, give us a hint!

- Whitestrake 10y agoWhat about taking the generic domain name and redirecting to a domain name for your actual brand?
- vinceguidry 10y agoUnlikely to work half as well.

- taberiand 10y agoI have a feeling that the average internet consumer would sooner click dogsitting.com over rover.com
- voltagex_ 10y ago>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.
