Most businesses don't understand this yet. They put a lot of effort into selecting right words for their advertisements. They worry about such things as subliminal effects of words/sentences and the prints they leave on subconscious mind, yet when it comes to domains they will select any worthless, meaningless domain for a site which is seen by millions of customers. Education is the key. The resposibility of educating businesses largely rests on the shoulders of professional domainers. These are the people who are successfully monetizing their domains and making fine living out of domaining. Those to whom domaining remains an expense, they cannot also put in extra time/effort to promote the industry as well, even though they may have fantastic and creative ideas.
