Actually, I think your idea of a general-purpose service for exchanging domains for help -- of some sort -- is a much better idea than my domain competition. I could imagine all sorts of "things of value" that could be very useful to domainers that could be traded for domains: nofollowed links, articles, help making a contact, etc. It's a very interesting idea!

]]> Comment on GRCity.us - A Question of Domain Selection by dave http://andysweet.com/2008/07/15/grcityus-a-question-of-domain-selection/#comment-459 dave Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:15:04 +0000 http://andysweet.com/2008/07/15/grcityus-a-question-of-domain-selection/#comment-459 I don't think it's a bad design in the abstract, but it doesn't feel right for an official city services & info site. I can imagine the pitch meeting where the got sold a "lively, web 2.0, not a typical stodgy city page, a real destination...." But they seriously overdid it. I feel like I am being sold something, and not being helped. The logo looks like it belongs on an MFA site. And would it have killed them to have something that looks like an official city seal somewhere on the page? It's seriously lacking in any authoritative look. Plus, the banner image is way too big, etc. etc... And, of course, the domain choice was inexcusable. It is such fun to critique! But please, no one do the same for any of my gawdawful sites.

Learn who is bidding on the same keywords and consider adding these domains to your exclusion lists. This of course does not help if they commit click fraud outside of their corporate domain. Andy,

Great post, can I add my own favourite proactive technique, and that is to know your competitors.

Whoever decided to put aliens in it should be shot. When I think of Indiana Jones I think of "sort of" hot actresses and nazis trying to take over the world. Not and old lady and and old man trying to find a space ship. Don't get me started on the lady with psychic power..... I totally agree with you about Indiana Jones.

Especially with the Ewoks and Disney ride. More cheesy and corny than the first Jones', yet without the quality supporting comedic supporting cast. The saddest part for me were the cheers and clapping throughout and after the movie. I feel like those people had convinced themself before seeing anything that it was a great movie.
