| Senior Member | Backwording After reading Rudys blog at http://logistiklabs.blogspot.com/200...ckwording.html on a possible new trend called "Backwording" I decided I'd play around on godaddy and see what was available. I was able to register the following domains. dractiderC.COM - Creditcard esiurC.COM - Cruise sthgilF.COM - Flights I'm happy with these 3 Heres a short list of developed backwords domains. aciremA.com (america.com) daolnwoD.com (download.com) eliboM.com (mobile.com) gnitsoH.com (hosting.com) koobreaY.com (yearbook.com) llabteksaB.com (basketball.com) niamoD.com (domain.com) oidaR.com (radio.com) onisaC.com (casino.com) semagoediV.com (videogames.com) sepiceR.com (recipes.com) setisbeW.com( websites.com) sgurD.com (drugs.com) sletoH.com (hotels.com) ssentiF.com (fitness.com) stekciT.com( tickets.com) syoT.com (toys.com) tnevE.com (event.com) yekcoH.com (hockey.com) snoitacaV.com (vacations.com) For a real kicker, check out McDonalds at www.sdlanodcm.com

| Senior Member | Very limited resale value Some of the shorter words might have a chance. I'm (pleasantly) surprised there are a handful of developed sites, but a bunch those look little more than novelties. Show me a lot more developed sites and I might change my mind.A hyphenated name is far faster and easier to type than a than a "backwords" name. If you were to develop these names, you would need to spend a load of money on marketing for the site to have a chance to take off. I had a different idea a while ago, working with the hyphen key and generic words. http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-...-key-word.html (again) I think those are far more viable than a backwards name, and yes I got a lukewarm reply.Of course, I think it's perfectly healthy to pick out one or two carefully selected, cream-of-the-crop names in any niche that's just starting out and which may or may not pan out. You'll reap the rewards for the early birds the idea actually takes off and not lose much if the ship never comes in. Good luck. |

| Senior Member | I believe people like simple. And if the average person has to "think" it makes them move on pretty quickly. I believe w-o-r-d-s would be better as it is very easy to see what the site would be about eg- g-o-l-d instead of d-l-o-g. Good luck though and post any sales. g- |

| NamePros Regular | I think this is a bit desperate as well... could you imagine the television adverts telling people to type the domain name in backwards? It's almost impossible to brand easily... and street-signs, forget about it... It's definitely an interesting idea alright, but I wouldn't be wasting even a penny on it.. even a premium word. |

| BionicHead.com | There was a backword Search Engine for a while: elgoog.com. The Chinese were using it to do searches on Freedom and Democracy. I think Google shut them down and now they own the domain name. Here's the new link: http://elgoog.rb-hosting.de/index.cgi You can read about it at wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElgooG

| www.daveincarthage.com | I kinda agree.. nice novelty but unlikely for typeins and as you suggest, I think without extensive branding or a gimmick, most people will pass them up. But then, I didn't think multiple hyphenated names would catch on either! Quote:
