Its not accurate at all in fact its somewhat a joke. Letters S,T,N,R,E are the best and most common letters in US words, period. SO to say that for example GHDB is as good as STNR is a joke. Also the letter U is very authoritive especially in the first position, yet its not premium. The whole double and triple lettering is also somewhat of a joke, how many words use the same first letter within a brand name or a short slogan not as frequent to warrant a higher value, but then again a fewer amount can actually contain this, would be the argument, id agree but how many would ever know or go there. I agree some guidlines are needed, but we all know theres a few around here attempting to control this market, thanks for listening now shoot me down!

I disagree regarding double and already explained it why:

Quote:

Another important fact is that when there are double letters , the value goes up, also because it could be a typo of the similar LLL.com

2 recent examples are:

mssp.com $2,015 (NameJet) could be typo of MSP.com

aomm.com 669 EUR ($1034) (Sedo) could be typo of AOM.com

Also, "premium" letters DO NOT EXIST:

I think we should call them :

MOST USED LETTERS or LESS USED LETTERS.

based on the actual market (which evolves with the evolving Internet Worldwide penetration)

Also, I wonder where you get that S,T,N,R,E are the most common letters because I see another story:

And anyway, being most common letters does not mean that are the most used for ACRONYMS.

So again the story is different:
