Ok folks. This is pretty much last minute. I'd like to come up with a .com for the store. But I just don't want to call it 'RapalaNationStore.com'  Can you folks come up with anything good? If someone comes up with something REALLY COOL AND it's available.... ....well there just might be some Rapalas in it for you (except for Steve, I send him too many as it is   ) Sooo lets see if you folks can help! |

right off the bat...
how about
WithLuresForAll.com
Lures4All.com
something like that, kinda follows the RapalaNation vibe.
a little more out there
E-PlurbusRapalas.com ( i think that would be latin for out of many, rapalas)
i dont know. LOL, i think there is a good chance to hit on something big with this, maybe we need to make sure all the typos are taken, like Raapla.com and the other various configs that are out there and have them re-direct to this store, catch all of those out there that mistype rapala, and turn them our way, let them see all the stuff rapala.com wont show them.
good luck everyone, lets come up with something good.

How about rapalamarket.com It's available - I just checked on GoDaddy.com That was actually one of the ones I really considered. I had an idea in my head of creating a graphic like this - You know how in a lot of outdoor fish markets, they have the fish laid out on tables on beds of ice? Well I was thinking of making a graphic like that, and instead of fish, I'd have various Rapala laid out for sale on tables like that. I figured the term 'market' is something that all nations and countries can kind of relate to, since every international city has some form of outdoor marketplaces and stuff like that. |

I think it's going to be 'RapalaMarket' After all, if I'd be selling lures for some of you folks, it really would be an international marketplace. But let's keep this going to see what else you folks can come up with |

I know that RapalaMarket.com is considered for the new Store name but it's always good to have some choices, so, how about RapalaBazaar.com ? It's similar in its concept but with a much more unique name -- is oriental too restrictive? It is available for registration. As is RapalaMarket.com Ted, just in case some 'outsider' is lurking and thinking about making a quick buck off of you by buying up suggested Store names -- it would be a good idea to grab to the domain name/s of your choice soon  Nigel |

Still considering a couple other options though....  |

Ted, I was thinking, knowing a little bit about SEO, that the eventual shop domain name should have the word 'rapala' in it somewhere. It makes a huge difference to search engines. Have you seen how many results for RapalaNation.com come up when you do a search for 'rapala' on Google (or Google Images)? BTW search engines don't do good at indexing Flash stuff - there just isn't any 'text' to 'read'  Also if you use anything with just 'rap' instead of 'rapala' then you most likely will get indexed with loads of music sites. Just some thoughts...... Nigel |

Nigel Actually we're doing very well on Google (first page) and almost any rapala image search on Google brings up images from this site I do agree - just using 'rap' conjures up a lot of music type of sites, even when searching for domains. One I really liked was taken - WobblerShop.com  |

It is kind of an obscure reference I guess. I already registered RapalaMarket.com, so more than likely I'll stick with that. I do think I need to redo my store banner image though |
