Granfather Clocks

Posted May 19, 2013

The most common misspelling by far of grandfather clocks is granfatherclocks. So much so there is even an online grandfather clocks store called granfatherclocksonline dot com. A few years ago we at 1-800-4CLOCKS were lucky enough to be able to register the domain name granfather clocks dot com. We are not sure if there is a specific origin to how the term for Floor Clocks or Longcase Clocks or Tall Case clocks or Hall Clocks came to be known by many as granfather clocks instead of grandfather clocks. Our best guess is that when saying the word grandfather clocks or grandfather clock out loud, the letter d can tend to be or sound more or less silent, at least the way many people, including clock collectors, say it. A search on Google for granfather clocks yields as of this writing over 1.1 million search results, which is pretty amazing in and of itself for grandfather clock shoppers to contemplate.

Many clocks terms may not only be misspelled, yet also have different names describing more or less the same thing. There are grandmother clocks in addition to grandfather clocks, with grandmother clocks being summed up as simply being shorter than your average grandfather clock. While writing this post, we first just checked to see how many Google search results there are for Granmother Clocks vs Grandmother Clocks, and somewhat surprisingly to us, there are almost 1 million results. So we then just before typing this registered the domain name granmotherclocks.com. Our best guess is it may lead ultimately to a couple of hundred more visitors per years who are real grandmother clock and grandfather clock shoppers, and are looking to find both high-end grandfather clocks and grandmother clocks on sale as well as grandmother clock discounts.

We are also trying to figure out how to make the best use of Pinterest to show what clocks we sell are the clock variety we offer. Try visiting the site here, and feel free to pin away with us whether it is your favorite granfather clock or one of your favorite grandfather clocks
