"A GOOD DOMAIN NAME" is an elusive misnomer.

I will not ever doubt the attributes of the location-location-location marketing viewpoint even when it's applied to the Internet.

You can have a killer domain name. You can have the greatest Bobdamned idea ever. If you don't have a sense of marketing or you don't have the perseverance required, you will not succeed in whatever you do.

The biggest difference between those that succeed and those that fail is that the failers mostly fail to DO anything.

Look at Yahoo. Perhaps arguably, the most visited site on the Internet, Yahoo has a domain name that makes no sense, especially in relevance to "what" it's name means. Yet still, because of ease of use, (not to mention the almighty, precious TIMING factor) good programming and $$$ spent on advertizing, Yahoo remains the # 1 search engine on the infohighway today.

It's time for us $$$ webmasters to start thinking of our medium as like BROADCAST/CABLE/SATELLITE television:

1) We SELL stuff.
2) To get people to buy our stuff, we have to GIVE then something.
3) We have to be diligent and understand that SALES is a numbers game.
4) We must learn how to tease and tempt and tease again.

Everything that was old is new again.

It isn't JUST about your domain name. Sure, your URL can HELP your business to grow but there is soooo much more to it than that.
