I couldn't agree more. We see more and more startups end up with the wrong name for their business. That's why we created and launched the "Unused Domains" index a couple of weeks ago.
We index all(+50M so far) domains that are unused and give you access to them here: undeveloped.com/search
At least now you know which options you have and which alternatives are out there. The search and acquisition of the right name for your startup doesn't have to be that painful anymore.
PS: we help/advice/consult startups for free with finding and picking the right name in the right extension. So feel free to reach out to us if you're struggling with your name.
Agreed, however the point I'm trying to make here is that it's essential for startup founders to be able to dedicate more time on the company than they would being on payroll at some random company from 9 to 5 - Monday to Friday.
Google loves what you guys call spam because it allows Google to generate more revenues.
When a content farm pushes first pages results this causes the real manufacturers and businesses to use Google's advertising platform to reach their customers.
When you're looking for a kitchen appliance It's better for Google to return a landing page filled with Google Adsense ads instead of the official website of one of these appliance manufactures. Again for the same reason mentioned above.
What this really means, is that Google should eliminate the middleman. Google shouldn't fight content farms. It should become the unstoppable juggernaut among content farms and do this by being actually useful and creating pages with value.
