sex.com up for sale yet again

Sex.com could become the most expensive domain name on the Internet.

All that potential and all they can think of doing with it is selling it. Sad.

In a report last year about the five ? sex.com, fund.com, porn.com, poker.com and business.com ? CNET appropriately asked: "How many have you visited in the last week?"
And this is key

Correct

Getting better ROI on your marketing budget includes having an self-explanatory domain, which is easy to pass on viral (ex. no question how its spelled), easy to remember, looks good on print/media (short), and reaches internationally (.coms) etc.

I know companies in mainstream that increased their sales XXX% over a period of 1 year with the same marketing budget, but now with a category killer domain as their flagship site.

People only looking for current traffic (one tree) are missing the forrest of opportunities

That is just about the smartest thing I have ever seen you type on the boards.

It has been said a million times before, but before 1998 who the fuck ever heard of Google? Branding is way more important than just having a short keyword domain. Unless your intent is to just redirect the type-in traffic as generic traffic.
