Domain hacks - right or wrong way to go?

2 pointsby movixalmost 16 years ago
We're brainstorming ideas for one of those cool, two-syllable, Web 2.0, kinda l33t speak domain names for our project, after deciding that maybe that as the .com for our current name is pretty unattainable we should have a brand re-think.<p>Is this just asking for trouble further down the line? Anyone have experience of issues with using domain hacks?

I used to use 'camarades.com' as our main 'entrance', it worked well but it always led to spelling errors. After switching to 'ww.com' source-unknown traffic (type-ins) went up quite a bit.<p>Domains are transferred in many ways between people, and it is when it is <i>NOT</i> a link that they click that your name matters most.<p>Facebook is a nice example, it is absolutely impossible to miss-spell it for just about anybody. Two very simple, extremely common words.<p>That might be the way to look in when you're trying to find a new domain.
