YouDontMessWithTheZohan.com

Here's that 1 out of 10. Clearly this URL wasn't taken. And the leading caps help each word stand out. Since this movie looks like a Borat rip-off, I'll brand this URL very nice!

URL Best Practices

Do's
1. Whenever possible, use YourBrandName.com.
2. If .com is not available, use YourBrandName.net.
3. If .com and .net are taken, find a new brand name. Seriously.
4. Use YourSlogan.com when running an integrated media campaign.
5. CapitalizeTheFirstLetterOfEachWord and/or UseDifferentColorsOrBoldToHelpEachWordStandOut

Don'ts
1. Don't use acronyms, abbreviations, or numbers unless your brand is widely known as such.
2. Don’t use YourProduct.com or YourCategory.com as a replacement for YourBrandName.com. They should be used only as supplements.
3. No-hyphens/or slashes.
4. Don't include www (aka dubs) when displaying your URL. We know to go to the World Wide Web to find you.
5. Don't include http://. If your audience isn't Web savvy enough to know where to type the URL, you shouldn't have a website.
6. don'tusealllowercase (canyoureallytellwhereonewordendsandthenextbegins?)
7. DITTOFORALLUPPERCASE
8. Don't

9. DontUseWordsThatllRequireApostrophes
10. Don't bury your URL at the bottom of an ad. I'm the only nerd running around with a 10x zoom lens to find URLs.
