FLETCHERJONESAUDI.COM/NORTHAVE.HTM

ALL CAPS and /Slashes can be tolerated but what comes after the slash here is unforgivable. North and Ave are 2 words that just don't go well smushed together (Nort Have?) and there's no reason to include .HTM. This URL is High-Total-Maintenance, let's hope their cars aren't!

www.sintbernadus.be

Apparently Saint is spelled Sint in Dutch which is the most popular language in Belgium which is where this brewery hails from which is why I won't fall them for choosing this URL. But not also buying SaintBernadus.be and displaying the URL in alllowercase are 2 unforgivable sins.

www.MarineVinylFabric.com

Marine Vinyl Fabric may not be the sexiest of products but when you think about where it's used – "I'm on a boat!" – its sex appeal goes up exponentially.

The same goes for URL selection and display. You may not win any graphic design awards for a logo that just simply shows the URL with dubs (aka www) and Leading Caps (aka Title Case) but top SEO results and zero ambiguity on what the website offers will surely draw some wandering eyes.

WWW.NAPLETOWN.COM

OK, so the name of the dealership is Napleton's but the URL is Napletown? Sorry, but it's brown frown for Napletown. :(

www.callAPlusRestoration.com

Hmm, how exactly do I call this domain name?!? F-minus for this URL.

WWW.crossroadspublichouse.com

I've been on a bit of a hiatus from URL-spotting but this one caught my eye as a misuse of CAPS I don't think I've seen before. For some reason, the dubs here are capitalized and the rest of the URL is in alllowercase. Talk about putting the em-phah-sis on the wrong sy-lah-bles!

HTTP://WWW.KNOPE2012.COM/IMAGESCMYK/CAMPAIGN/1239U/09230023/POSTER/.JPEG

Just say Knope to Bad URLs! Bet poor Leslie wished this domain got parked rather than (w)rec(k)ed.

ClassesPlease.com

Shannen Doherty's keepin' it classy with this URL!

EMAIL www.amvetspickup.com

And just how would one do that?

Your Other Warehouse.com

Saw this on the shelf at Home Depot but couldn't figure out how to get to my other Warehouse.com.

DANiELISLANDTechSavvyKIDSCLUB.com

Let's hope they're not teaching kids how to choose and display domain names. Whoever came up with this looooong URL sure was riding the short bus!

att.con

Whoever put the stickers on this truck should be con-victed!

DemocacyForAmerica.com, WeAre[Ohio].com

You may think the one on the right is a stumper, but if you live in Ohio you will recognize the bumper.

URL-Y RISER

The headline on this paper sitting atop a trash can caught my eye. You know the web is mainstream when the news media are pronouncing URLs like me... as in the Duke of.

www.agremodeling.com

Maybe it's because I had my eyes on the dash trying to figure out the name of the tune I was jamming to or maybe it's because I'm an URL-aholic but I read the back of this truck bottom up. So my first encounter was with the URL. "Hmmm... AgreModeling.com... sweet!" I thought as I turned my gaze up expecting to find a bunch of hot models sitting in the back of the truck. "DOH!"

www.funerals.pro

Sorry I've been slacking my fellow URLaholics. Please know that I am not yet cured, just busy with other obsessions. You know you're out of the loop when you see a TLD that you didn't know existing. Now I realize I'm no domaining .pro but who knew!?!

facebook.com/siriusxmjamon

Great station. Bad URL. Like an extended jam, this URL wraps to second line. Never liked the character limits on Sirius XM. Always cuts off artist or title. Didn't even know wrapping was possible until I saw this. There has to be a way they can play with fonts or allow you to click to see full names.

Back to this URL, alllowercasedoesn't do it any favors. Too many weird letters. This URL is obscure as some of the bands they play.

ThereAreWorseThingsThanCornSyrup.com

Peter Askew snagged this one off Saturday Night Live. Beyond being funny, the URL display is, well, sticky.

www.chick-fil-aleadercast.com/atlanta

Here's another SkewURL (for the uninitiated, those are URLs spotted by URL-aholic Peter Askew of Search Bound) from Chick-Fil-A . Peter seems to eat there a lot!

This one is a mess of mashed up alllowercase and an ill-advised /slash. As Peter points, out it should've been Chick-Fil-A.com/LeadercastAtlanta or dropped Atlanta altogether and had a drop-down on the landing page.

As it stands, this URL is not chic. It's not ful-fil-ling. And it grades an F not an A.

http://bit.ly/dn5n10

Here's a tip when using bit.ly or other URL shorteners in print. Customize them! Too tough to tell the difference between zero and letter O and one and letter L. And this one ends with both. Oy vey! Thanks again to Brian Leiberman for the spot and reminding us that a little bit of extra effort goes a long way.
