Wow! Check out www.citrixaccessessentials.com

Ha ha ha, yeah. Try spreading that one successfully by word of mouth. Just because the product is called Citrix Access Essentials, doesn’t mean the microsite should be the hideously unparseable www.citrixaccessessentials.com.

Note to Citrix: why have a microsite at all? Its a core product, marketed to essentially the same audience as your main site, and its presented in a visual style consistent with the main site. So if there’s no differentiation in target audience, visual style, or product category, why split it off under a name that guarantees low type-in word-of-mouth traffic?

Well, actually, citrixaccessessentials.com maps out to a primary domain page anyway: http://www.citrix.com/lang/English/ms/ms_24616.asp.

Time to invest in some clean url’s folks.

Corrected: DNHour.com - Digg for Domain Name News

DNHour.com is a community driven news site for the SEO domain name industry. IMHO this is a great vertical to target - the domain industry (and somewhat-related SEO industry) has a very high noise-to-signal ratio, and a good community (and algorithm) would go a long way to sorting some of the wheat from the chaff. Though its currently a little sparse on the community interaction side, its brand new, and I’m willing to give it a chance. I’m adding the DNHour feed to my reader. [found via Press Release]

From the press release:

DNHour.com is founded by a Malaysian-based domainer and serial entrepreneur, Koay Al Vin. After missing out on some big domain name purchases, he decided to keep in the know by tediously scouring domain forums and listing sites for what is available. He founded DNHour.com to ease the process and today, all domainers can help each other by sharing those important news and events at DNHour.com.

Other Coverage:

Net Monetization says get into DNHour early.

CORRECTION: Koay Al Vin contacted me to indicate that the site is focused specifically on Domain Name news & finds - not SEO as I assumed. Thanks for the correction!
