Just Make The Check Out To “DrHGuy”
The Domain Name Game
According to Search Engine Watch, recent sales of domains have included Porn.com for $9.5 Million and Vodka.com for $3 million. The same source also declares that “Poker.com is about to be or just has been sold and the price mentioned was $27 million.”
Hmmmm.com
The obvious way to go, of course, would be coming up with another vice-associated dot-com domain name, lease the domain for $10 per year, and just wait for the big bucks bids to come rolling in.
That is not, however, the Heck of a Guy way.1
DrHGuy, ever the contrarian, is reversing the field, betting that goodness and mercy, while unlikely to follow him the rest of the days of his life, will make a comeback on the social scene.
After due dalliance, DrHGuy has purchased the rights to GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN.com.
Who could resist the promise of GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN.COM?
Well, so far, everyone has. But, that’s about to change. Today’s post is the start of the “Sell GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN.COM” campaign.
POKER.COM is worth $27 million – does it look like something special?
POKER, after all, is just Poker.
GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN, on the other hand, is Good, it’s Clean, it’s Wholesome, and, most of all, it’s Fun.2
As a bonus, POKER.com and GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN.com theoretically cost the same amount to register, yet GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN is more than four times longer than POKER.
The list of obvious potential customers is substantial. The Evangelicals, the Religious Right, and the Republican National Committee, for example, have proclaimed the value of good, clean, wholesome fun as the antithesis of depravity, illicit dug use, prostitution, homosexuality, R rated movies, and stream of consciousness novels so they can hardly pass on bidding for GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN.com without appearing hypocritical. Walt Disney would be another hot prospect, as would every parent of every teenager. Even more impressive are the less apparent buyer candidates. How better to camouflage an evil empire then with a domain name like GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN.com? The new, less demanding attitude of the armed forces might well find its voice as GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN.
The Opportunity
Regardless of what you told me at that dinner party, I know you didn’t buy Microsoft at 3.50 or Google at 40. So, lest one be dismayed over yet again missing the boat when the cover of Forbes is dedicated to the first billion dollar domain name purchase for GOODCLEANWHOLE- SOMEFUN.COM, now is the time to jump on the GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN.COM bandwagon.3
Just send money. The check is just symbolic; small, unmarked bills are the way to go. The Heck of a Guy staff will let you know how large a share of the impending bonanza your funds bought.
Besides, how much longer can illicit sex, gambling, and alcohol be more appealing than GOODCLEANWHOLESOMEFUN?
_____________________- OK, if one must be picky, it is not the Heck of a Guy way once it became clear that all the classically sinful domain names, such as HOTNASTYSEX.COM, had been taken.
