I came across this great use of a domain name by the Avon® brand company yesterday. In the advertisement that spoke about selling the Avon brand and making extra money, they used the call-to-action domain name SellAvon.com .

I was doing some SEO work and analysis on Exdon.com, one of our brands, and came across a very interesting Namepros forum thread.
