GoodURLBadURL on blogspot.com

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed or email newsletter for updates.

AaronGoldman.net is a search engine marketer by day and a URL (domain name) critic by night. Today, Aaron sat down and gave his opinion on all of the domain names which appeared in this years Superbowl commercials. If you visited Domaining.com it looked a little something like this…

And the list went on…

Spread the posts out a little next time please?

While I generally agree with Aaron’s opinions of what a good domain name is, it gets a little redundant. We all know the basics and the whole GoodURLBadURL blog can be summed up by his “Best Practices” criteria (found in the side-bar).

I suppose his opinions could also be considered marketing advice since he is also critiquing commercials and advertisements. But again, we all should know how to display and place our domain names prominently within advertisements.

Sorry about the title of this post, I couldn’t help myself.

Kind of ironic, given the URL of his annoying site. Don’t you think?

Last I counted he submitted 23 stories in the span of a few hours, I guess he was trying to make the entire home page of Domaining.com link to his site. I hope he gets banned… I think what he did definitely qualifies as spam/abuse. That could have easily been consolidated into one or zero posts :)

If you do not want to see those posts the next time it’s done, I suggest logging into your Domaining.com account and using the new feature just rolled out “Edit List”. You can put a check mark by the feeds you wish to follow, leaving GoodURLBadURL unchecked will no longer show his posts when you are logged in. :) You can also ADD feeds you would like to follow now from “other industries” or a feed that isn’t included now on Domaining.com . Just an FYI ;)

Mark – just came across your post after Googling GoodURLBadURL.blogspot.com for which you know have the #2 spot — touche! For what it’s worth, my SuperURL posts were not an attempt to take over Domaining.com. I’m not a domainer nor is my blog written for domainers — although I love that so many have shown an interest. GoodURLBadURL.blogspot.com was created for traditional marketers that can’t seem to figure out proper URL selection and promotion — especially those that throw down $3MM+ for Super Bowl spots. No doubt hard core domainers (and even amateurs) understand basic URL best practices and, per Jamie’s comment, it sounds like the feed on Domaining.com can be adjusted to tune me out if desired. As Joe points out, I’m not monetizing my site in any way — no AdSense, nada. I just do it for the love of the URL. :)
Just posted something to this effect on GoodURLBadURL.blogspot.com — hopefully it sets the record straight but, more importantly, hopefully it reclaims Page 1 on Google for the real GoodURLBadURL.blogspot.com :)

Aaron, sorry about out-ranking you. I wouldn’t worry too much about it.. who would search for that URL anyway?
Thanks for clearing a little about what your blog is and for taking my criticism lightly. All the best to you.

Before registering any domain we need to work out on our main targeted keyword and we need to use that keyword in domain name. This tactics really works to become your website more search engine friendly.
