We now own macombland.com

Our office website just got an easier-to-remember name. How's macombland.com sound? (Kind of like an amusement park, I suppose, but maybe Macomb could use one.)

A few weeks ago, I learned (via RE/MAX's corporate office) that our RE/MAX-approved domain name of remax-unified-macomb-il.com is allowed to have a secondary domain we can use to drive traffic over to our main site. We can name this secondary domain anything we want, provided that (1) we don't use the word "RE/MAX" and (2) the domain name is actually available.

We did some checking and found that macombrealestate.com, macombproperties.com, macombhomes.com, and macombhouses.com all have already been taken, some by people who don't even seem to be doing much with them. But macombland.com, surprisingly, was available. We quickly bought the rights.

Our old domain name of remax-unified-macomb-il.com is staying right where it is. But we'll start using macombland.com in all our print advertising from now on. And anytime we're telling someone -- either in person or over the phone -- our website address, we'll just say macombland.com. We won't even have to spell it out for them.
