Kami,

 

Please whitelist my Almost-On-Line.com domain which I use for AOL convertees and also use as a honey pot.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] dashes in domains

Hi;

 

It seems like with all the spammish domains being taken now more & more we see domains with lots of dashes..

 

Double dashes!

 

- @ADULT---WEB-CAM.COM

- @CHINA--V.COM

- @girls--panties.com

 

Single dashes!

- @home-loan-quotes-direct.com

- @horny-wild-girls.us

- @u-need-1nk-we-th1nk.com

 

- .2-buy-drugs-online4sale.com

- .best-adult-mail.com

- .best-offers-found-here.com

- .cheat-on-my-husband.com

- .come-n-get-me.com

- .cut-to-the-chase.com

- .daily-specials-daily1.com

- .daily-specials-now.com

- .debt-consolidation-direct-online.com

- .direct-online-sales.com

- .dont-miss-this-deal.com

- .drug-store-4-now.com

- .fast-quotes-direct.com

- .fix-the-computer.com

- .for-your-credit.com

 

this is just a simple querry of our database

 

& many more as I am sure you agree...

 

What if?

 

a test that we can give weight on number of dashes in a domain?  I am yet to see companies with more than one dash.. I can even go as far as two dashes but any company with more than 2 dashes in their domain is somehow looking at a marketing issue since giving that address to anyone is just too difficult.

 

I am sure in this group of all admins we can do a good review of domains and see if this observation makes any sense.

 

Thoughts?

 

Regards,
