I read this article and was really impressed at its Boldness.

I mean seriously look at those names that he used to example what he was saying. Yes he made good use of them to get his point across but with that many words/letters I would give up or at least make it a favorite sheeze.

What do you think?

I've always done the Upper Case letter thing with all of my names (that just goes to show you that I have way too many 2 and 3 worders).

Agreed with Scott! I do Upper Case lettering as well!

 

[Kodeking]

Very true!

A prime example I learned from a fellow NP member here is:
carreview.com (looks bad with double r)
but
CarReview.com looks much better!

TitleCase domains are soo much easier to read. The above is a perfect example... You don't think much of the top domain (I didn't) until you noticed it 2 lines down in TitleCase.

It stands out much more clearer, and in a way, makes more sence.

Thats article was a good read, Elefekt, thanks.

very good read and informative. thanks ele:tri:

 

[Kodeking]

even NamePros.com looks better than namepros.com

I think it just looks more profesional.

Afternic suggests using wordcasing in any way necessary to best show off the name and to not use all caps in every instance. I play with my names until they look right. In a short time it starts to become automatic But continue to get stumped at times.

ie.What looks best to you?.

a.WebEZMail.com b.WEBEZMAIL.com or c.WEBezMAIL. d.WebEZMAILcom? e. WebEZmail? f. WEBEZmail I went w/ a. but still have reservations-may go back to all caps .

When under our control, font choice and effects also creates different looks. I generally use plain and simple old Verdana, just think it's clean.

You've totaly missed the point!

Think about selling a domain name! If your trying to sell a domain name, using the TitleCase makes the domain more clear to read, and much more professionaly presented.

Example from Above:

carreview.com - You'd easilly skip this domain while looking down a list. It doesn't stand out, and at first glance doesn't make sence.

HOWEVER

CarReview.com - If your looking down a list then depending on what your looking for, this domain would stand out... As well as being much clearer and more presentable, it hides the fact that are two letter 'r's back to back of each other.

Good thinking Batman! :lol:

There's a large kids chain store in the UK known as 'Toys R Us'... ToysR.us would be great, except it's taken!!
