What do you think about opening a site with the domain name fucktheriver.com ?

Do you think its funny, vulgar?

Do you think it is a problem to be a poker affilitate with this domain name?

I mean also bonuswhores has whores in their domain name...

I am about to launch a site with this domain name, or should I change it to fcuktheriver.com or have a completely different name?

I would highly appreciate your opinion

Thanks

I would change it to something completely different. Whatever benefits (if there are any, although it does have a nice ring to it..god damn river) having the f-word in the url had would be far outweighed by the problems you would face. Getting links will be a lot tougher because most webmasters will not put your link on their site. I'm sure there are many other problems you would face but I just woke up and I cant think of any but basically I would pick a new domain.

Could be fun to tell your friends you own it :P .. What's the google rule? Would it get listed the same as any ole website? Be screened out as adult? ..

Definitely an adult brand.. but might b popular amongst the 20somethings. Not a whole heckuva lotta keywords in that url though.. might want to keep that in mind too.. though we think it alot, we don't search it much. Might could be brandable though lol.

Definately a memorable name, but will hamper SEO IMO, not least because of SE filters and the fact many people wouldn't lkink to it. But I quite like the idea from a branding perspective

If I was doing something like that, I would make the site extremely vulgar. Make sure the domain matches the site ... Wow there are way to many ideas coming to my head for this one....

If you're gonna do it, go all the way.

fuckthegoddamnmotherfuckingriver.com OMFGLOL!!!!

But seriously, as others pointed out the f-word will give you a hard time in the long run. You may want to try and tone it down a little. i.e. screwtheriver.com, hatetheriver.com, etc. It's not as dramatic as fucktheriver, but the idea is the same.

Using the F word will probably hamper your efforts in the long run. I would use something like NiceSuckout.com or something similar. <-------That domain could be for sale or bartar too.

Generally having any swear word in a URL will give the wrong image.

[GregK]

Whats the "right" image?

[Jeremy]

I personally don't have any problem with a swear word in the url. However so many people get easily offended anymore, that I'd rather not cut them out of my potential market if I don't have too.

As far as a right or wrong image, I guess it depends on your total market. Using the F word in the url however will perhaps decrease that market though.
