Thread: bad to have same letter...

  1. #1

    bad to have same letter...

    back to back in a domain name.

    For example: iloveemail.com

    You have the two e's (ee) back to back? Is that like a big no no or does it really matter?

    It definately looks wierd, but I don't think it can be helped in some cases. If you can, grab the domain that has them combined like ilovemail.com too, but I wouldn't pay a premium for it. One thing I'd be more concerned about is words combining in ways you don't want them to.

    Here are a few examples:
    http://www.penisland.net/
    http://www.whorepresents.com/
    http://www.therapistfinder.com/

    (don't worry, nothing bad on those sites)

    www.expertsexchange.com is another good one

    As cutter says, definitely get both if they are available at normal price. Then redirect the double version to the single I would think.

    I don't know why it looks weird written 'properly' and better with a letter chopped out, but it seems to, and I think most people would expect it to be.

    http://domainrookie.com/hilarious-do...spronouncings/ good selection of names here

    I agree that you shouldn't pay a premium amount for a funky looking domain. But this one's got a nice ring to it, and I'd suggest that it's a good name.

    thanks the the replies!

    So basically you're saying this...as another example if I wanted the domain golfinggreats.com, I should also try and buy golfingreats.com and just redirect? To me they both look weird, but maybe it's me.

    His example:
    i-lov-email.com (OK)
    i-love-mail.com(GOOD)

    Yours:
    golfing-reats.com (BAD)
    golfin-greats.com(OK)

    Yeah, redirect to the correct spelling. If you have a good option that doesn't have the double letters, then go with that.
