I mean really, why bother registering some really good domain name concepts, but not actually registering the dot com?

For example, gayebonyblog.com, there is a hypenated version of the name, a .info and a .net version yet the full .com version, which is what most surfers are going to type in to the browser, was never registered.

It kind of makes you wonder sometimes if webmasters consider getting listed in the search engines using hyphenated domains packed with keywords more important than sustainable long-term traffic.

Some people still think its 1996 and that search engines / directories cannot parse out words. They still live in a pre-Google world. These are the same people who go to every website by entering the URL at google.com. They don't know about the address bar in their browser.
