Yes, Chris, you would think we “W”ers would do better naturally on the World Wide Web. Of course that was invented by a “B”er. However I’m sure no one begrudges Sir Tim Berners-Lee all the visibility he rightly deserves.

Barry -

As a fellow “W”er – I know the pain

And yes – where we would be in line (directories then, blogrolls now) was certainly a consideration…

That’s why I posted this, Joe. I most often start with new clients by questioning the company/domain name. However I realize that I don’t often enough think about this alphabetical dimension. It can be really important. In some markets, a small company can be listed above all the industry heavy-weights by choosing the right name.

Domain name or business name, if not both. Many lists are also organized by business name — I’ve received a fair amount of attention from being on Lee’s search blogs list, largely because “Accessible Web Design” puts me very close to the top of the list. Having it listed under either my name or my URL would have been much less advantageous!
