Why do NP posts disguise domain names?

[Sando]

This may be a newbie question, but I have noticed that a lot of posters on NP don't like to type the full domain names. For example, they will type: domain()com or domain/com or something like that, instead of just domain.com -- but not everyone does that.

Is there a reason for this? Why not just use the domain name with a . ?

thanks!

One case would be where you are selling domains today for say $20 each for a limited time, fast forward months down the road and some end user is about to buy your domain for $5,000 and then they google the domain and go "Hey you had this name for sale 3 months ago for $5 and a bag of beef jerky" :hehe:

Or they see that you only paid $5 for the name.

plus if you have a name about bass fishing you may not want to see a namepros thread be the first thing listed on search results


^ answer is another reason why some people "disguise" not a statement on their correctness. lol

It is just another sign of the ill-informed nature of MOST of the advice given by so-called domainers on this board.
VERY few know SEO and Marketing techniques that really WORK.

That makes sense. Thanks for the replies guys!

because if people search for your exact domain or keyword a link will appear in search results above a parked page or site abovetheir site/parked page in search
