Comments on: When Patterns Are Broken, New Worlds Emerge http://www.dnunderground.com/01/07/when-patterns-are-broken-new-worlds-emerge/ The Best Domaining Blog on the Web Tue, 26 Apr 2011 04:32:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Bill http://www.dnunderground.com/01/07/when-patterns-are-broken-new-worlds-emerge/comment-page-1/#comment-6262 Bill Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:51:33 +0000 http://www.dnunderground.com/?p=534#comment-6262 In the case of cookinggames.com the REASON the domain gets type-in traffic is not not because it's a "good" domain, which it's not. It's because so many developers with variations of the name have developed sites with cooking games. Someone might play a game they find on a site like e-cookinggames.com, funcookinggames.com, hotcookinggames.com ect... Which they find fun and in a week or 2 when they want to come back, the part it seems most remember is "cooking games" so that's what they type-in. Buying all the variations of this domain would actually hurt its value. I'd rather people hear the hype, make a site, promote the crap out of it. In the end with this domain I'm taxing the entire niche X percent of their return viewers. Great post and great advice. Know your traffic, know your advertising base.

I think it's a matter of this generations' laziness. People are too lazy to think hard about stuff and so they just follow and copy what others do. You’re absolutely right.
