Useless Fact

Name Trader · Apr 19, 2008

What's with all the o's? oo.com through oooooooooooooooooooo.com (20 o's) are all registered. ooooooooooooooooooooo.com (21 o's) is available for registration

Porte · Apr 19, 2008

I really do not know why in world they register those domains. I would say something like BuyYourDellComputerToday.com is better than that one.

Well, of course for the type-in traffic, why else? :hehe:

Maybe, it's worth holding repeating letters.

Maybe for the year 2310

.

But seriously... I can't ever see a future value in a domain that has 20 repeating O's.

True !

I don't understand the purpose of that.

i guess people collect balls of tinfoil.

:p

TheBulldog · Apr 19, 2008

Yes, but it is unlikely they pay 8 bucks for said balls of tinfoil. Well maybe on ebay if it was crinkled in the face of the Virgin Mary.

Come on guys, if you saw a link for "http://ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.com" posted on a site or ad somewhere, wouldn't that in itself make you want to click on it?

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn just leaning on the keyboard, try it in the address bar.....lol

DnEbook · Apr 20, 2008

yes you are correct , a useless fact .......... thank you !!!!!

Red Rock · Apr 20, 2008

Great Useless fact!
My question to you Stub is...
How did you figure this out?
LOL
Sounds like another case of Drunk Reg'ing to me!

-REECE- · Apr 20, 2008

It's funny you mention that because it's partly true to some extent... I have no clue if someone will type in that many, but many of the domains with even 10 repeating letters get type-in traffic. What sense it makes? I do not know. How you'd target this traffic? Again, no clue -- but traffic nevertheless.

Personally, I think anything with more than 5 of the same letter is little more than a traffic-generating novelty.

Earthian · Apr 20, 2008

try it on this with "a" or "x" lol

I guess it just started when someone after finding aaa.com unavailable said "hey , I'll buy aaaa.com instead" ... then the next person said "hmm , I'll buy aaaaa.com then" ... this went on and on while every person afterwards was thinking "hey , since aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.com is regged (and valuable) I will reg aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.com then" :lol:

Yes it would. I just clicked that link. Out of curiousity.

lzy · Apr 20, 2008

I believe all are taken already (all the way until 20+ repeating then the madness stops) :hehe:

My favourite crazy name (not mine thou)

http://www.gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle.com/

:lol:

PS: HOLY CRAP! I was just playing around and kept removing an "o" and every single one is taken!

Earthian · Apr 20, 2008

lzy - did you find the "million decimal places" page in the http://3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592.com link you posted ? (before editing it)

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

if you put site:domain.com on Google , you get all the pages from a specific domain

NPQueen · Apr 20, 2008

Think of all the type in traffic we just sent them. Between teens and the boredom of college and all of us bored domainers, I can see how they get the type in traffic :lol:
