Problem I Need You to Solve For Me

ekal · 04-27-2006, 01:53 PM

Hi All

I'm building a teacher employment website. It will be along the lines of XXXjobs. All the other competitors in this particular field use the XXX because it is the best and really the only way to describe this type of school.

I own all the other permutations for XXXjobs except for .com.

As documented here, I can't get hold of the parked .com:

Is it worth persuing this or should I go for the .org or .net as the business name?

can you replace Jobs with another word..?

Careers
Opportunities
work
employment
positions
posts

Or just give it a cool NAME instead.

Hi Fleege

Thanks for that. Still available are...

XXXpositions.com
XXXposts.com

With a lot of the market being non-native English speakers however, I'm not sure about how good these would be

If you're going to use this as any sort of primary business for yourself, you need the .com ,

Call them, snail mail them, do whatever it takes to get the BEST name for the APPLICATION you have in mind for it. Anything else, and you'll simply be driving traffic to someone else's domain for them.

If ur business will really be more online than offline than just try to grab the .com or else try to get a synonym of the xxx word.
