REALationship.com — How REAL is your relationship?

For Robert Brown and John Nabers, the genesis of their new business was a simple question: how REAL is your relationship?

To help answer this question, they launched REALationship.com, an online relationship testing and advice website that allows users to determine just how "REAL" their relationships are.

Some examples of tests REALationship.com provides are the "Love or Infatuation Test", "Is the relationship too physical" Test and the "Big Flirt" Test.

Users can also send a test to a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend. Once this person takes this test the results are available for viewing through your personal account.

In addition to offering fun and revealing tests, REALationship.com offers weekly prizes for the funniest date stories, relationship articles, and a forum where users can interact with others — including relationship experts that are there to provide advice or help.

Since the words REAL and Relationship are the focus of the site, it made sense for Robert and John to join the two words to create the domain REALationship.com. However, when they typed it into a browser, they discovered someone had already registered the domain, and that BuyDomains was the current owner.

According to Robert, "We loved the domain name, so worked with a very pleasurable sales agent who not only spent time working with us to get a lower purchasing price, but also helped us do some research on other domain related services. She guided us throughout the process even AFTER the purchase."

"Our investment has proven to be well worth it. In just a few months of the website being live we already have over 1.2 million page views per month, and over 50,000 unique visitors monthly." — Robert Brown, Co-Founder

"We are very pleased with the response — and in such a quick turnaround! My advice to others is that a good domain name is crucial in ongoing success. Some folks think that they can take any domain name and make their site great, but truthfully that is rare, it must be catchy and easy to remember."
