“Wan” in “37wan.com” means “play” or “gaming,” but for players from outside of China, the word “wan” probably wouldn’t make any sense.

The problem with not having the .com of your name is that it signals weakness.

We saw our customers confusing us with some of the other companies in the industry, and wanted to remedy that issue. Our service is so different and unique in comparison with the competition that these confusions might cost us a lot of opportunities.

let's talk

You have arrived

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of FAKEURL.COM. As the news spread amongst your partners, employees, and customers, your mobile is ringing for three days. You've got a huge number of calls, a mailbox full of messages and congrats. Everything is looking good but you need a bit of time, to process it all, to see the numbers.

It has now been six months and the numbers are in! 40% increase in direct traffic, then shortly after the number is 70%. Repeat customers have grown well over 200%. Who would have thought? Increased trust, word of mouth, no traffic leaks, an important immunity against another brand who may grab the domain, better SEO and more effective marketing campaigns. You didn't even realize you were missing on all of those before.

It's been a year now. You sit back and reflect, you've spent three months and a small fortune to acquire FAKEURL.COM, and looking back you conclude, it was the best investment you have ever made.

I hope you enjoyed the journey. While the story is fictional, it is based on real people and real events, all of which are listed below.

confidence

"We saw a big growth with our repeat customers. We had an average return of repeat customers of over 200% from where it originally was and that was definitely attributable to the brand. When you are Pacific Pillows, you can stumble across a bunch of pillow sites, but when you are Pillows.com, its pretty clear that there is only one Pillows.com"

Craig Clark, Pillows.com

authenticity

"Do you know how many companies have “Sumo” in their name? It’s a lot. You wouldn’t believe how many times someone has come up to me and said, “Oh, are you also like (completely unrelated to us) sumo?”. That’s why we went right to the source. There are many copycat Sumo names in the market but by owning Sumo.com we’re positioned as the original. We are the Sumo.com."

Noah Kagan, Sumo.com

authority

"My mobile was ringing for three days. We’ve got a huge number of calls from people sitting in and out of our business, my mailbox was full of messages and congrats. Our marketing team received many emails from our clients saying we’ve made something huge. We expected people will react somehow but no one thought it gonna be so positive and massive."

Greg Warzecha, User.com

Trust

"Beyond just the benefits of properly aligning our brand with the .com name, we knew that owning this domain would illustrate to future customers that we’re here to stay for the long haul."

Steli Efti, CEO of Close.com

"Overall, the reaction and feedback from all stakeholders has been very positive; it is simple and easy-to- remember, reflects our brand values and proposition very well."

Team at Invest.com

Traffic

"About 70% of traffic comes from the domain directly – we don’t have to purchase the keywords as much any longer.  The domain name is pretty valuable in and of itself."

Tor Sweeney, Dresses.com

"We saw a 40% increase in traffic immediately after securing our preferred domain"

John Furneaux, Hive.com

"After acquiring user.com we noted 300% increase in traffic."

Tomasz Sawicki, CMO User.com

word of mouth

"You will lose all word of mouth marketing if you don’t have a good name. Most people choose their name because the domain is available. That’s a really bad idea. I spent 3 months and $182,000 negotiating for Mint.com, and it was the best purchase I ever made."

Aaron Patzer, Mint.com
