Hard to remember domains get more Links

[Lisa]

I have been thinking about this and I have a crazy backwards theory. I think a hard to remember domain may get more links. Why not, if your domain was so easy to remember then why would they need to link? So by having a more complex name people may link to you so they can remember. Anyone experience anything like this? Or is this a crackpot theory?

Lisa,

For once I have to disagree with you.

Crackpot theory :)

Let's assume just for a second that this is not crazy.

Even then there is a fundamental problem: if your site is really great it will be linked more because of the mentioned reasons. There are some sites for whom I don't have even a bookmark, and that's because they're easy to remember, agreed.

But if your site is "not really great" people will simply forget it :)

That may benefit only sites that are already sucessful, and perharps does more harm than benefit, and even then the effect is negligible compared with another factors.

I would not call it crackpot theory, but even statistically proven this may be no more perceptible than coriolis effect or quantum-relativistic consequences.
