Domain Pointers and Aliases from 1-Dash Lead to Sales
Long domain names hinder users
- Hard to remember
- Too long to type
- Naming doesn't make sense
Google Mobile at http://www.google.com/mobile/ is an example of a long nasty URL that really sends a message to mobile surfers that the site is an after-thought,
"Oh, by the way. We have a mobile website for you but the best we can do is add it on to our current domain name. Happy typing!"
With the competition for search results, search providers will catch on to this eventually. Maybe someone that reads this can give them a head's up? We're positive the domains we have for sale in our Search Group of domains made up of common words people think about when searching, will not be sold for anywhere close to $44 million...
Numbers That Work has the solution!
Implement a Domain Alias (Search Company)
Using our domains with the common search term: Ask
1-ask.com
1-ask.mobi
1-275.com (275 spells Ask on a phone keypad) (Cool huh?)
1-275.mobi
Google Example:
Point 1-ask.com and 1-275.com to: http://www.google.com
and
Point 1-ask.mobi and 1-275.mobi to: http://www.google.com/mobile/
Why a Domain Alias?
Multiple domains can be used to 'point' to a companies main website.
This is done by setting the domain nameservers or by forwarding a domain.
Alias Defined:
After a domain is setup to 'point' somewhere, it is referred to as an alias.
