....lists their top brandables on another marketplace, you can pretty much say the ship has sailed.
(not to mention their exciting new website design and new Libyan .ly listings).
Come on, man, that "I am done!" line is by far the lamest entry from the Big Book of Forum Etiquette and Faux Pas. I'm sure you're better than that.On that note, I am done responding here. Some people obviously want to debate for the sake of debating and aren't even aware of the points being made.
BB owns Namerific now. From what I've heard, namerific has wait times exceeding 6 months. They sure bought a piece of work.
I searched Google for BrandRoot, The #1 result in organic was for BB. Wonder if BrandRoot, was bought out, too
Lol, I think you may have mistyped something...
I think you'll have trouble finding BB in any organic search results... let alone the keyword "Brandroot"
Lol, I think you may have mistyped something...
When I search BrandRoot, BB is at the top of the page. But it's a paid ad, not organic.
That begs the question: Is that intentional? Did BB bid on the keyword 'brandroot'? If so, shame on those assholes.That's pathetic--trying to steal another company's business using the other site's own name!
Precisely why the ad isn't on your screenshot, I dunno.
Rader, not sure you saw other threads pertaining to BR, but wondering why there's such a backlog on names at present @ BR (description, logo, live) I do find it a bit ironic that BB is moving much, much more quickly all of a sudden. Though it may be that competitive spirit at play.
Likely a geography thing. But honestly one does what one must. Rader left BB and started BR, he's solicited folks on BB to list their names on BR. It's competitive.

Yeah, I only would have a problem with that kind of thing (and people have been sued) if you buy keywords and then pretend to be somebody else in the ad, someone clicks and goes to your site instead.
If BrandBucket bid on the keyword BrandRoot and in the ad said it was BrandRoot but when clicked went to BrandBucket. You can run into problems with that kind of thing.
Merely bidding on your competitor with a clear ad, to me is no different than Coke using Pepsi in their ads, letting people know they're the superior cola or Liquid Plumr going at Drano etc. These companies also buy keywords in a way at the cash register. Sometimes I buy a certain brand or product and get a coupon from the printout for a competing company. Companies use other companies all the time.
Pepsi tells ppl to try Coke and vice-versa. But they at least differentiate each other. Thee is little differentiating when you search A, see B, and have no idea A and B aren't related
Well, they have different names, so unless you're reading disabled, it shouldn't be much of an issue. I know they're similar but tough. It's competition. It's allowed. Brandroot should just hop in and do the same thing, bid on Brandbucket. I've heard of some instances in the past where a trademark holder can stop people from using some keywords, had that happen in some of my ads many years ago.
BB is ridiculous... it's just a ton of bad names priced really high..anyone can make up names and call them brandable... the whole thing just annoys me.

That's not actually true.(BB didn't buy NR) Not sure where you heard that or from whom. As for the 6 month wait times, it does seem the wait is longest with NR. BB and BR may be neck and neck, 1-2 months from what it seems now.
Actually, it is true.
It's not true, but even if it were, I'm not sure why it's relevant to this thread which has gotten way off topic lol
