I can remember early in my Internet Career Sitting around a table with two friends trying to think up a domain name for one of our businesses.

We spent hours on this and one of them pointed out - how important is this name stuff really when a site called "yahoo" can be so popular.

Google
eBay
Yahoo
Lycos
Amazon
Netscape
Altavista

Seems like other than a few like weather.com and cars.com does the most popular keyword have a decent relevant site.

Even the more popular adult sites like t** h** and p****** k**** don't have names that mean anything about the site.
