247 vs. 724

dmoncu · 06-23-2008, 03:51 PM

I'm a not a native speaker of English, so i have sometimes diffuculties in realizing some phrases or popular uses.
For example in English "24/7" is the term which is used for seven days and twenty-four hours. A google search for "24/7" gives about 100m results while one for "7/24" gives 60m. [In my native language (Turkish) 7/24 is a more common term than 24/7]
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-name-discussion/485158-247-vs-724-a.html

I have two questions related to this issue:
1-According to this usage cars247.com must be a better domain than cars724. Am I right.

2-And suppose that carassistance.com has a value of 2k.(Theoretically speaking, not real numbers) Then would carassistance247.com also have some value? And has it some ratio to appraise?

Thanks in advance

I can answer #1.

Most English speakers would not understand cars724 to mean anything like cars 247. 247 has meaning; 724 is basically just random numbers.

Good luck.

In america 247 is the most used term infact I cant recall ever hearing anyone use the term 724.
I do think that a good domain with good keywords that fit with 247 would hold some value such as your example carassistance versus carassistance247.
It is catchy and brandable if it fits correctly because it means "anytime" and lets your clients know that it is always accessible.

It's been said, but in America we go by 24/7 (or 247)..24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not 7 days a week, 24 hours a day

hope this helps!

As far as a ratio ,I would say it would all depend on the term(word(s)).Some ofcourse would be worth alot more compared to the naked domain and some wouldnt be worth as much so I dont think you can really have a set ratio.

usually the names with 1 word + 247 are higher end/more liquid than multiple keywords + 247 in our experience. good luck-

24/7 can means July 24.
7/24 can ALSO means July 24.

If you want to search, try 247365. It means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.

worldstar · 06-24-2008, 02:38 AM

of course 247.
247 may means 24hours, 7days.
724 means 7hundred and twenty four.

Yes, 247 is definately the best. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a 724 name sell.
