Doobie Brothers acquire DoobieBrothers.com

[Arpit131]

The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band that was most popular in the 1970s and 1980s. A few of their best known hits include Listen to the Music, Takin’ It To The Streets, and What A Fool Believes.

The band has used the less desireable DoobieBros.com domain name for its website for many years, and it looks like they got a major upgrade.

DoobieBrothers.com appears to have come from the Marchex portfolio, which GoDaddy acquired last year. DoobieBrothers.com has a creation date of August 27, 2003. I would bet that the domain name was previously registered and possibly dropped before 2003, but there are no historical Whois records archived for this domain name prior to 2003.

This goes on to show that the importance of exact match names and brand names are increasing across businesses. This is a good sign for domain owners and investors.

Yeah, a very good sign. More businesses will go after their exact match domain name.

It has history before 2000. Seems to have been picked up, dropped and then picked up by ultsearch.com.

It has history.

It was regged in the 1990's by General Web Group. Perhaps they let it drop because of tm fears or just plain gave up on arm twisting the DB


"The Doobie Brothers are touring with Journey this Summer, and having this exact match domain name will be helpful in selling tickets and other band merchandise."

It wont matter one bit.
