‘the goal of the site is to help educate the public about the domain name industry by providing easily accessible answers to common questions about the business in a knowledge base format. Dozens of brief articles, with more being added all the time, provide answers to questions that are organized by category so DNKB users can zero in on the area they are interested in.’

Regardless of whether you buy and sell domain names or are simply interested in selecting and buying a domain name or URL for your business you may find help at DNKB.org.

Why would any business buy a domain name for 4.9 million?!?  A comment from the article explains it well -
 
“A generic domain name will make a sound business, better.

Have you seen advertising lately - TV, web or print, don’t matter. Most ads promote a url. It’s about recall and traction. Generic urls are a boon for marketers.

Why did Microsoft just buy office.com? Why does Disney sit on video.com? Why did CBS buy TV.com last year? I could do this all day…”

Today, the company employs dozens of people around the world.  Placek started his career at an ad agency in San Francisco but soon recognized that creating lasting, evocative names was good business.

Interesting marketing approach http://namespromote.com/netipot-or-sinus-rinse-interesting-marketing-approach/ http://namespromote.com/netipot-or-sinus-rinse-interesting-marketing-approach/#comments Mon, 18 May 2009 01:57:30 +0000 admin http://namespromote.com/netipot-or-sinus-rinse-interesting-marketing-approach/ At the recommendations of friends I bought a “NeilMed NasaFlo Neti Pot” to hopefully help my allergies.  When I opened the package I was surprised to find a full-color flyer that described the Neti Pot I had just purchased as a “Less Effective Alternative Treatment” and declared that the “NeilMed Sinus Rinse” as the “Most Effective Treatment”.  Pretty unusual marketing effort, don’t you think?

I don’t really have any attention to buy the “Sinus Rinse” because I am already a fan of the Neti Pot.  Got a good laugh at the marketing effort though!
