These are very bad names that's why.

You know, they were registered mostly to play with search engines.
I think I will succeed.

Perhaps they will be fine for search engines and forwarded to another Domain.

the only reason to register this name would be for search engines. the url sure does help a lot, but it's not the only thing to look at. content is king as they say... (.com is also king, so content.com is the most valuable domain!)

Anyone have a chance to buy it now for $150.
If any of these comes into three first pages at Google, the price
will be a few $10K's.
Give me three months.

Sorry Mike, I didn't see your post earlier.

The meaning is:
http://www-quotes.com
http://www-fu*k.com

Let the search engine game begin.

BTW, I do not know how to play the search engine game very well. I imagine you mean fool the SE to index you under a very popular word f**k for instance?

Can someone please explain how the SE games are played with these popular word hyphentated names?

TIA!

Trouble is who is going to type in www-quotes when they can type in quotes?

Unless you're saying google will pull your www-quotes.com site up with a search for quotes.

I think you better get a ton of content and a few bazillion links to pull that one off.

Cute trick though. We'll see huh?

Almost noone.

Amost surely. However the ranking of the site depends on other factors.

Exactly. Working on links is the key here.

I say its worth $15 million dollars.

I think you should alias www.f**k.com to paypal or aol or someone like that that screws up surfers.

**Lew** · 11-11-2002, 03:07 PM

I do not see how www-quotes.com is any better than w-quotes.com or a-quotes.com or any other letter/number combination.

Search engines give your site more points if the domain name is a match to the search term.

If you look at overture as a guide, very few searches are done with "www" in front of the term - so it would seem that the only value in that name would be the "quotes" part of it and you can squeeze that into any hyphenated name.

I am a bit tired of explaining this to everyone one-by-one.
Please read previous posts carefully.

In short:

Hyphen is treated as a space, "www" is ignored as "most common
word". What remains is taken into account by a SE.
You will get exactly the same results if you input "www-search"
or only "search" term, but not with "w-search" or anything similar. Try for yourself.

Actually I had to keep this for myself, not trying to convince anyone. I guess I like to share nice things. Someone calls that "a problem".
