The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs

The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs

Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today's world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as other see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn't give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called 'Who Represents' where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it… is

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at

3. Looking for a pen? Look no further than Pen Island at

4. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at

5. Then of course, there's the Italian Power Generator company…

6. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:

7. If you're looking for computer software, there's always

8. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is

9. Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:

10. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at



How can you put a banner on top of your youtube channel page?

Q:  How can you put a banner on top of your youtube channel page?
Kind of like how this girl has one..

A:  You have to be a YouTube "Partner", which means you either have to be a film 
creator/director, a broadcaster, an advertiser, someone with a special project, 
or a person of special significance (like Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah).

But that's not enough to become a YT partner. YouTube has even more criteria:
-- You create your own "original" videos
-- You own all the appropriate copyrights
-- The content is 100% yours (no income splitting/sharing if money is involved)
-- You upload videos on a regular basis
-- Your videos are viewed by thousands
-- You're in an English-speaking country.

Only after you've finally been approved by the YouTube administrators/directors
will they give you the all special tools and codes required enabling you to have:
-- a customized special logo or "banner"
-- different capabilities of "scripting fonts"
-- your channel-page video on "autoplay"
-- "high-definition" quality to your videos
-- a "More From" section which automatically opens up above "Related Videos".

If you want to know more, go to the top right-hand corner of any YouTube page, 
click "help" and then type in the searchbox the word "partner".
