Another question for British people

[Cman]

What do you think of the domain name page4.co.uk for a model / celeb site?

Is that a good idea or stupid? I thought it was kind of clever, but you guys have a different sense of humour lol

Also, do you think there is any chance of a lawsuit? I will claim that its a parody instead of a trademark infringement haha

 

[rich2rob]

I say go for it.

As far as I am aware page3 was never trademarked, but I could be wrong.

Cman,

That sounds like a good idea. If it isn't taken, you could probably, eventually, get some squatters money.

 

[Cman]

i realized that exposedcelebs.co.uk is a pretty friggin long domain name, so i am looking for a new one that is shorter. i also thought that it might gain popularity from the play on words

 

[mindido]

Cman,

I find it really difficult to believe that Page 3 wouldn't be taken, but its certainly worth a check. If it isn't you've probably hit gold.

 

[Cman]

page 3 is taken, obviously, which is why i'm using page 4

 

[phynix]

Yeah Cman that would work well, I'm sure your aware of how well known and popluar page 3 is and a play on words is sure to get the correct attention and the 'punters' in quick! Good luck with the new project! keep us updated mate.

Cman,

Just, maybe, a stupid question. What is normally on page 4 of whatever paper uses this page 3 stuff? I don't know, but if thats normally obituaries, you may not want to use it.

 

[Cman]

haha, i never really thought of that, but it doesn't bother me. if necessary, i will claim that i'm an ignorant canadian that didn't know lol

 

[phynix]

LOL Page 4 is the usual where the main or head line story continues from page one, page two consists of a small story and maybe an advert or the weather for that day then you have you naked lady or exp0sed celebrity (see what I did there! huh!) on page 3!

I've been thinking about it for a few days now and it might just be me but i don't quite get it.

I like the idea but if i was looking for a celebrity i would never try looking for page 4 on google or yahoo.

If you were doing a site which specialised in current and former page 3 girls then i would get it but for the general totty i just can't see it.

I like the idea of the exp0sedUK thing but if it's not pulling the punters in maybe a change of terminology could help, words like British Sexy Totty or Brits Exposed might work???

Not trying to put you off but you did ask for feedback.

 

[Cman]

I'm going to have both domains pointing to the site, so I might advertise it as both, but the logo and title and such will be Page 4. The main purpose is that I wanted a shorter domain name

As a fellow Canadian (and of english decent) I say go for what ever U think it should be, ok. It's your friggin web site.


IMO BTW I liked this one...

page4.co.uk

My Thoughts

I pretty much agree with stu2906, IMO no one from the UK (your targeted audience) will type "Page 4" in a search engine.
If page3.co.uk is taken, I think you would have more success with something like "page3online" (which is a character or two shorter then the current domain) or "mypage3.co.uk".
After all Page 4 isn't relevant to the site content, Page 3 is the keyword, which I think should be in the domain name.

 

[Gatorman]

seepage3.co.uk????? I like the double entendre'.....

 

[Cman]

i dont want to use anything with a 3 in it, because thats asking for a lawsuit (assuming its trademarked)
