    I got a chuckle out of this cartoon about domain names and the Yellow Pages. I haven't run across many domain names like this, but I can see how they'd rank well. That's often the debate: unique brand name or keyword rich name. In the short term, I think the keyword rich name could work well, but in the long term, the unique brand name would get the recognition. This of course presumes the unique brand name engages in sufficient marketing to create that recognition. I suppose if you don't want to put in a huge amount of effort trying to establish your unique brand name (eg Amazon, Monster, etc) then you could stick with the keyword rich URL.

    From the page: "Remember looking in the yellow pages as seeing a company listed as AAA Painters and wondering why such a strange name? We all know reason was to be listed first alphabetically. You can call it crafty marketing or an abuse of the system. Well, the internet has a system being abused as well - or craftily marketed..."
