Just wanted to second the "read this" for this link:
http://www.yafla.com/dforbes/2006/03/29.html#a302

The stats at the end are not only entertaining, but also informative.

(Every one of the 10,000 most popular male and female names in the world have been registered..., etc.)

good to know - i can only find in other tld's
n-l.biz or .us .info
l-n.biz or .us
nll.jp
nll.biz
nll.cc

n-number
l-letter
dash's in middle
just not sure if there worth scooping up or not.
I'd rather have a long keyword domain than trying
to same my dn with a dash.

glad to be of help ...









mis chief - in general for larger money amounts , I would stick to .coms ... they look far more more professional and original than other TLDs and big companies would prefer to buy a different .com domain rather than buy the domain they were after in a different extension (while some other company owns the .com) . Of course there are exceptions to this especially for specialized usages (eg. organizations) . Also , again , the above rule applies mostly to rather large amount purchases .

I'll add a couple more interesting links

Internet Population (source internetworldstats.com)

Internet Usage Stats (source Nielsen//Netratings)

Internet Traffic Report (source internettrafficreport.com)

Does anybody else have any interesting links to domain stats , other interesting info , interesting data to post ?

droplister - do you mean regarding the post from dgridley ?

I posted this thread before that one ...








If you are referring to the digg post ...

I saw that the article was posted on digg from the dgridley post (in the break room) , but I did not see this article first on digg . If I had , I would have said it was from there ...

I saw it through a link on the instantdomainsearch.com site and thought that other domainers would be interested in these data too ...








I am thinking about posting the Real Time World Statistics on a separate thread in the break room , though , because I think it is a very interesting link and a lot of people might want to know about it , while they might not check this thread ...









mis chief - thanks for that ...

they are actually calculations based on current interesting statistics and demographics data .

it uses your computer lock ... therefore , if you put your PC in the year 2050 ... it will show estimates for that year based on current statistics and demographics ... pretty cool huh ?
