    Ain't gonna be easy. When it comes to this stuff people will go to where the content is... even if they have to type 3 more characters for the domain But hey, I know how it's like to have everyone else say "it won't work" so goodluck anyway!

        I dont have or claim to have any experience or knowlege on how massive corporations are run and why they do things. However it is EXTREMELY funny to me to see people post about how they got ripped off.
        Ripped off?

                I'll tell you one thing I never realized how sensitive writers are about their work.

                If you say one thing about editing parts of something they've written they really get wigged out.

                    No one can estimate that. I have yet to see official numbers for Rent.com as far as registered members, partners, etc. are concerned.

                            You'll be able to get those when they release their quarterly financials.

                            I couldn't believe InterActiveCorp listed Match.com's subscriber base in their quarterlies, but it was. 997,000 paying members subscribed. Do the math on that load at $24.95 each a month.

                                                    I'm getting sick of this stock lately. Nothing interesting going on. They have very nice "internet properties" tho. Hopefully 2005 will bring them back to the mid 30s.

                                                                                            I agree completely.

                                                                                            Is "yahoo" a good domain name? Hardly... yet it's the premier domain name. Are "Amazon" or "Ebay" excellent domain names? Nope.

                                                                                            The name combined with marketing (branding) will make or break a domain. There are many good domains put to good use like "Match", but most aren't and even though they're top level domains, they're not popular or well known.

Then people would say "fuck, LRent.com is a brilliant name", because it will automatically be associated with the real brand/niche of "London Rentals".

                                                                                                                            Definitely. It's a combination. Also, I would prefer to own short, simple, generic, easily recognizable names to build from. It's better (if you're willing to put in the time and effort in branding it) but it's not necessary.

                                                                                                                            One could list many examples where simple names work. Like Match.com. We could list just as many that aren't even words like Ampland, Yahoo, or Friendster that have attained more success than 99% of the generic names.

                                                                                                                            Both the domain and it's marketing are important factors. A domain like MyGayDad.com isn't going to do well as a Teen site. It's a fuzzy arena sometimes. We must admit that there are also poor domains out there like ThisIsAGreatDomain.com which in all likelihood won't work because they're too long and obtuse.

Like Match.com. We could list just as many that aren't even words like Ampland, Yahoo, or Friendster that have attained more success than 99% of the generic names.

                                                                                                                                        Both the domain and it's marketing are important factors. A domain like MyGayDad.com isn't going to do well as a Teen site. It's a fuzzy arena sometimes. We must admit that there are also poor domains out there like ThisIsAGreatDomain.com which in all likelihood won't work because they're too long and obtuse.

A GREAT domain also comes with GREAT expectations from your audience. At men.com people (I'd assume) expect to find an excellent site with lots of content, less banners, and quality design and concept.

The domain was only part of it. The BRANDING is what gave it true value.
