MY FUCKUP #1: Google auto corrects my domain when searching
FREE ADVICE: Be careful when choosing a domain. Google might be auto correcting in the search.
Here's a learning I want to share with the forum.
A couple of days ago I launched http://inlooop.com
I was super proud that I managed to snitch this domain for only $10/year.
Now after two days I learned that google auto corrects 'inlooop' searches to 'inloop'.
Here's a print screen for your amusement :)
Cheers to all and good luck!
I once snagged a great domain thinking I was a genius only to realise I made a spelling mistake. Lmao. Fun times.
It's fun to make mistakes!
Mistakes happen, don't be discouraged!
Thanks for sharing this experience! :D
I am not sure if this is bad.
Had Altavista had an "autocorrect feature" it would probably correct "Google" to "googol".
My point is that it might not be the best, but it is unique and that's good. My problem with the domain is that there are 3 consecutive o's and that might be confusing to remember.
Thanks for the comment.
You're right it's not the end of the world.
Hopefully the fact that I use triple 'o's will make it memorable after the first couple of mistakes.
I had the same problem with the triple 'b's from dribbble. They forced me to remember the name. Who knows maybe it will work...

Hey Thomas!
Thanks for the advice. I indeed did not yet get to work on the meta-data. I will do that and I am pretty sure with time it will get better.
For the record I did submit the site to the google web console.
Thanks again :)
