   | There is nothing wrong with long urls... the phrase bigger is better can at a lot of times be applied to urls... To prove my point oddities such as WirelessStockTrading.com , ForSaleByOwner.com and AsSeenOnTv.com all sold for 6 and 7 figures... 1). what would most people rather have? a short vaction or a long vacation? 2). would most people rather have a big cash flow or a short cash flow? 3). what would most guys rather have? a short penis or a long penis? yes i know the phrase kiss.. keep it short and simple. but that phrase was invented by a pencil dick accountant ! |

????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/44300-there-is-nothing-wrong-long-urls.html The point is that the "longer is better" theory is simply not true for domains in most cases.

| Although the longer urls will not have the name value of the single word, short names, as Apollo points out, some developers like the longer, descriptive names for SEO (Search Engine Optimization). They are not focusing upon inherrant name value, but rather, popular keywords that will enhance their search engine ranking and, hence, site traffic. Verifiable traffic=sales=money=sell the site and/or domain for big bucks if successful. Single words have the advantage of covering more ground, ie showing up more often in seaches, and are highly brandable because they form short, generic, universal domain names, that are easy to remember. And, they are rare, wheras multiple word names have almost limitless possibilities.

| The more you type, the great the chances of a typo happening. Apart from that, I think supercalifagilisticexpialdocious.com is okay.
