6. My friend drowned in a bowl of muesli. A strong currant pulled him in.

7 . A man came round in hospital after a serious accident. He shouted, 'Doctor, doctor, I can't feel my legs!' The doctor replied, 'I know you can't, I've cut your arms off'.

13. A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet. 'My dog is cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?' 'Well,' said the vet, 'let's have a look at him'.

I went to my allotment last week and found someone had covered it with
2 inches of soil. I went again yesterday only to find it covered
again with another 2 inches of soil. The plot thickens!!!

I was explaining to my wife last night that when you die you get
reincarnated but must come back as a different creature.
She said: "I would like to come back as a cow".
I said: "You're obviously not listening".

Doctors have just identified a food that can cause grief and suffering
years after it's been eaten. It's called wedding cake.

I was in the pub with my wife last night and I said: "I love you".
She said; "Is that you or the beer talking?"
I replied: "It's me talking to the beer".

The wife has been missing a week now. Police said to prepare for the worst.
So I've been to the charity shop to get all her clothes back.

They've opened a new shop across the road selling camouflage clothing
but I have my suspicions something weird is going on. Yesterday I saw
20 people go in but I never saw anyone coming out.

I just brought a friend of mine a new fridge, should have seen his
face light up when he opened it

A friend of mine moved into a new house at the weekend so I took him
over a couple of radiators. Just a little house warming present.

I've just heard the window cleaner shouting and swearing outside my
house. I think he's lost his rag.

I agree, it is nearly always a trade-off.
Catchy domain name? I'm not convinced this is really an issue for a small business. I would also suggest that most visits to a website are via a link and not typed. Hence, there is almost no value in a shorter domain name. A click on a hyperlink to your site is the same regardless of the length of the domain/hyperlink.

So while in principle, logic suggests a shorter catchier domain is very useful, my experience is that it is massively counteracted by the benefits of a domain that incorporates keywords.

The issue with using a different domain for advertising means you are generating 'linking power' from websites that are (quite literally) wasted. If you have the budgets of a large company then you can cope with that. Most marketing budgets of SMEs would not allow such a luxury.

The simplest reason is - duplication of marketing effort.

You put time an effort and cash into promoting site A. as a consequence, your generate links to that site and its rankings improve.
Your business card promotes site B. This too generates links and hence its rankings improve.

You then have 2 sites - with all the linking power split between 2 domains. Huge waste of effort. If all that linking power was aimed at a single domain, your rankings would be hugely better.

Sorry Scentral, but that really is NOT a good idea for a zillion reasons. In fact, you will be doing yourself a massive disservice.

My view is that:
1. A redirection is probably worthless.
2. By buying the domain, you are stopping a potential competitor from acquiring it and using it successfully.
3. I would probably purchase it with a view to developing a new website targeting this keyword. (although you would then need to allocate marketing budget against it in order to make the new website rank). I have managed enough websites to say categorically that domains such as keyword.com produce better long-term rankings.

A teacher at a University reminded her pupils of tomorrow's final exam.
"Now listen to me, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being here tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack, a serious personal injury, illness, or a death in your immediate family, but that's it, no other excuses whatsoever!"

A smart-aleck teenager at the back of the room raised his hand and asked, "What would happen if I came in tomorrow suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"
The entire class was reduced to laughter and sniggering.

When silence was restored, the teacher smiled at the student, shook her head and sweetly said, "Well, I would expect you to write the exam with your other hand."
