clickngo is web crap
I bet they regret naming their site now... when it's too late :)

Domains are names for website. People buy domains to make a website. Websites become successful. Successful websites get visitors. Visitor numbers increase.

Suddenly, someone realises "WAIT A SECOND, WHAT IS THIS WEBSITE CALLED????"

Here is the top 10 websites that regret their domain name:

1. WhoRepresents.com -> WhorePresents.com
A website that let's you get in touch with a movie star in the US, by contacting their American Agent, Attorney, Manager or Publicist. Most representatives even provide a phone number and address so getting in touch is easy.

2. TherapistFinder.com -> TheRapistFinder.com
The California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, with 27 chapters throughout the state, is an independent professional organization, representing the interests of licensed Marriage and Family Therapists. CAMFT provides TherapistFinder.com as a resource to the public looking for Marriage and Family Therapists located in California.

3. PenISLAND.net -> PenisLand.net
The best place to get custom made pens on the Internet

4. GoTahoe.com -> GotAHoe.com
Plan your dream Lake Tahoe vacation including hotels and lodging, ski resorts, activities and more presented by the North Lake Tahoe Visitors Bureau!

5. PowergenItalia.com -> PowerGenitalia.com
Currently under construction.

... There are more

Thing is, you even realise how popular those sites are due to the amount of articles like this one pointing to them?

Accidental naming or clever marketing strategy? You decide

That is so hilarious! It would be a very clever marketing strategy to "misname" a domain though...

Interesting take on that. I think it's funny but yea you should think about how your name is going to be looked at before using it for a professional business if you don't want it taking away from the business.

True, it might provide a bit more traffic.... but if someone wants to buy from you.. or wants you as a business partner... they dont want to be known as the partner of say the molestation nursery ( mole station nursery ).
