????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/short-domain-discussion/420873-showcase-your-brandable-5l-lllll-com.html The best, pronounceable ones that pass the radio test are long gone. And I seldom see any good ones dropping. There are still still plenty of 5L left, ranging from mediocre to so-so. Most of those showcased here belong to the so-so category imo.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I've recently got CoBiz.com. To my surprise, there are many sites with the prefix of CoBiz. Anyway, my intention of acquiring this name was to create a COmmunity business directory. I've already started working on this subject.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I think the radio / phone test is overrated when it comes to brandables. For example a name as simple as Yahoo.com could be argued as not passing this test. Hearing it on the radio you might think YaWho.com Google , why not Gugle ... I think that it is more important for a name to look clean and easily be pronounceable / memorable. There are still some decent names out there to be had, but there is a lot of junk that people register regularly. The less imagination a person needs to use the better. There are a variety of styles of 5Letter brandables and some will be more desirable than others in the years to come. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=420873 Sometimes some decent names get dropped though ![]() Just my 2 cents.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I call BS. Maybe in your opinion. Are you going to sit there and tell me that a name like AEIOU.com or ABCDE.com are not brandable?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Ok here are some random thoughts while I have some time, sorry for the randomness of them ![]() I have a special place in my heart for 5Letter .coms. I see the potential for these names in the future. xxxxxxxxxxx I do agree that there is a lot of (what I think) junk mixed in with SO SO names etc. That being said. I regularly see decent sales of 5L.com that I would not have paid reg fee for. That is the brilliance, different people are wanting different style domains. Some might want a certain acronym, others might want an an E or I keyword domain, palindrome, repeat letters, etc etc etc. It all boils down to where one might want to put their money / gamble. Some types are definitely a better/safer investment than others. This thread is great for ideas, learning, and feedback. ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=420873 I predict that in the years to come folks will get a good sense of what good / desirable 5L.coms are. Right now there are a lot of people just shooting in the dark imho. I registered a lot of junkier 5L.coms in trial and error before I got a feel of what works. It takes time and luck to find semi decent names currently, so if you are regularly registering these sort of names that is probably not a good sign. I still think that it is best to look at these sort of names as a long term investment.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Usa666 - some good points you make. But as sdsinc says there's a lot of garbage being reg'd - mostly without much thought... If you go back enough pages to see what was reg'd a year ago then you will find a lot of them have been dropped and available to reg again. As with any domain "the beauty is in the eye of the beholder" - and this saying applies a great deal more to brand domains than most other categories. It is possible to hand reg expired goodies here n there but it's rare. Aftermarkets and reseller markets are probably the best places to find anything worthwhile. IMO As for acronyms, that's a whole other market! When you start getting into that category then it's not so much about 5ls or brands... But acros are more suited to 3/4Ls --- going into acros in 5Ls is taking a big risk (unless of course u find a known popular acronym).

![]() | I reg'd these two: ziepo.com (I think it could be easily brandable within the debt reduction/consolidation industry) jagpo.com (This one I think would do well within the games/video gaming industry) I am accepting offers on either one, contact me via pm if interested.
