Whoever registered "Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-NFL-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art-Art.com" must have been really confident in the rhythm of how that sounded.

This seems more like the output of an automated process than some sort of human decision.

i dunno i have some domains just because they look cool. not to make money or a point, in fact, nobody sees/know them except myself.

Yeah I registered butt.institute a few months ago and I'm still chuckling over it.

Welcome to namecheap.com. This domain was recently registered at namecheap.com. The domain owner may currently be creating a great site for this domain. Please check back later!

Imagine my disappointment.

poop.bike is quite a colourful domain

Sometimes I wonder, would it be worth moving to Bermuda so that I could own poop.bm

Some of these may be remnants of Google's old SEO policies which, from what I remember, weighted TLD names pretty heavily.

This article was written in 2002. SEO wasn't much of a thing then.

I remember quite clearly, it was a big thing then. If anything, bigger than now (in that small changes to one's own content, and small manipulations around linking, could have big effects on the major search engines). Back then, SEO was about careful manipulation of tags, keywords, tricks like filling your page with white text on a white background so the search engine would see it but not users, etc.

I'm not sure what SEO is about now.
