Well looky here! Received a message from a guy saying he owns the domain -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 13, 09:55 15
- blah.. owns the domain "doctor[lastname]" and is willing to sell it for $398. I just checked godaddy and the domain is actually available for $12.99 - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 13, 09:57 14
  - See if you can buy from namecheap or google DNS instead of godaddy. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 09:59 12
    - Similar topic question. If one were to buy a lot of domains like [cityname]botox.com, is it better for them to just redirect to one main website or - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 13, 10:08 8
      - I don't know the answer to this, as SEO is a dark art. I do know that the same content under a different domain tends to be a big no-no. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 10:43 7
        
        Hmm.. maybe redirect then would be better. I will research it some more. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 13, 10:46 5

        I see. But it was the same content on multiple domains.. not really redirects. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 13, 10:53 3
        
        Right, redirects and landing pages are two strategies to combat the problem. - Beryllium Sep 13, 10:56 1
        
        (Whereas just showing the practice's page for each domain might be less likely to funnel visitors into clients) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 11:01
        
        I feel like it is nice to have [cityname]doctor.com for a number of surrounding cities because that is how people search. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 13, 10:54
        
        (I also know that getting to "the first page" in google is hard - unless you buy the keywords) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 10:45
    - Why? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Sep 13, 10:00 2
      - Godaddy is the walmart of DNS. Even Qale is leaving them. :-) - Beryllium Sep 13, 10:01 1

      - Just that employees who don't currently have a week's worth of this clothing now have to buy it, and as Wal-Mart already knows (evidenced by that food - mara Sep 13, 10:56 1
        
        you only need two days of clothes. you just need to wash them more frequently. -- nm - Karl_S Sep 13, 16:02

- I wish I could do more than just continue not to shop there. -- nm - Kim Pine Sep 13, 09:59 1
  - The only thing I can really think of would be pushing for higher minimum wages, but that wouldn't cut to the heart of the problem. - Beryllium Sep 13, 10:00
- There'a reckoning coming for Wal-Mart. -- nm - David Sep 13, 09:56 3
  - I'd like to think there is, but I doubt it honestly. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 13, 10:03 1
    - Inertia is a powerful force, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 10:54
