[REQUEST] Which domain name do you guys like better

[nlinecomputers]

Exact match URLs are supposed to be bad however I've never seen that occur. My own theory with my URLs is I want them to be descriptive enough to be on top of a business card.

Which I think will kill you on SEO. It’s also impossible to trademark.

I have to agree with whoever said they sound kinda spammy. Going with a more personal name will go farther for you than using the word promotions, sales, etc.

Thank you but it doesn't hurt my SEO. More important for me to advertise my services then brand.

services than brand.

Ahhh. Context is important. My apologies. It irks me when people use "then" instead of "than".
I see it often on these forums.

What bugs me is when I write in conversational English I sometimes have to end a sentence with a preposition. The average person reads at a middle-school level. In the U.S. that's around 7th or 8th grade.

I'm going to add a few cents here. The industry in general as I see it (from a broad perspective) is moving away from service related names.

One reason is that many spammy, scammy folks use those exact keywords (along with an apparently malfunctioning keyboard that only repeats consonants) for various web services. I think it's important to establish a reliable brand that performs service X. Anybody and more importantly, everyone is in the digital game these days, and I'm sure if I look up competition you will likely see lots of "imaginative" brands that are little more than keyword spamming. A great majority of your competition don't care about brand and only want quick cash, which means "keyword companies" are in a bad light. It's not 1995, the dot com bubble burst, and we need to build smarter companies.

The real issue is without a brand, your company gets diluted in the ocean of mediocrity that is the internet and people who live by the motto, "how hard can it be?"

Will you get clients? Sure, I'm confident you will get clients. Will your clients be able to build a meaningful brand image? Probably not.

It's your choice, but we have allot of industry players who are telling you in the long run, you might be short changing yourself if you are just "joe internet guy" and nothing more. Or at the very least, the type of clients you attract may not be the most...um....long term.

Anyways, have at 'er.

Its saddens me when you see videos on Youtube or TikTok of Gen Z'ers being asked simple questions that they cannot answer; like where is Minnesota? How many dimes in 1 dollar? etc.

Here's an example.

The education system has failed miserably.

I think the funniest one I've seen is where the interviewer asked: "Should we save the Homo Sapiens?"

I never was good at spelling. Google has to fix most of it. Think how much worse if Google didn't fix it!

I always got the vowel groupings wrong like ie, ei, ai etc.

Oh well. There are worse ways to go. :/

Literally vs. Figuratively

Nowadays, the word literally is being loosely used and can be spotted in casual conversations and writing where it is not denoting its actual meaning.

www.englishgrammar.org

The word literally in its traditional sense is used as as an adverb meaning “in a literal manner or sense” or “exactly.”

I really hate when they use the word to define the word.
