OH MY! Sexy, Dirty, Twisted Domain Names. Could it be YOURS?
For the most part, choosing a domain name is a fairly easy task. You know what you like and then it is matter of choosing it or a close match to your ideal name.
There are times however, when the words you choose might not be read the same way you intended. There are many words that can link up in that continuious word string that may convey an entirely differrent message to your site visitor!
Here are a few examples of actually websites where the verbage in the domain name conveys an entirely different meaning than the website content:
www.penisland.net Pen Island custom logo witing pens.
www.expertsexchange.com Expert network to find jobs or an expert in their field.
www.therapistfinder.com Information on finding a therapist
www.childswear.co.uk Children's formal wear
www.masterbaitonline.com Bait and tackle shop in Florida
www.speedofart.com Photography art
So, all humor aside...the next time you pick a domain name make sure you read it CAREFULLY before you buy it. You don't want your domain name to attract the wrong traffic or worse be LINKED to a totally unrelated (and unwelcome) website. It's your name...make sure it sends the right message.
Be sure to like and share! We don't want any WA peeps making this mistake!

That is really funny.
I have found myself having to read some urls more than once because I am not sure how it is supposed to read.
Only way to find out is Click it : )
Great advise though. This might help someone that may be choosing a domain right now : )
Wishing you the best in all you do

definitaly worthwhile sriting it out in textpad to see if there are any other words which jump out!.
