What makes a good LLLL.com

redshift · 04-15-2007, 05:29 PM

would like opinions on what types of LLLL.com are good investments
if there is no acronym potential or its not pronouncable is it worth hanging onto?
for people with LLLL.com how long do you plan on holding onto your names before you expect to be able to sell at good prices
thanks

Pronounceable ones, or CVCV ones fetch top dollar. The rest are reg fee at best, as it seems several hundred drop each day. I don't know...anyone have any ideas on this? Is it worth picking up an Ok CVCV at $500, or...a CVCV.net for reg fee?

Easily pronounceables 4L.com are the sure bet. That's where i would be if i was new in the business. But everything is worth hanging onto if they eventually become all gone.

Most days 4L.com drops are limited to about 50 per day. And the quality has been slowly deteiorating.

I saw MXWS.com just dropped. I think it is a good one. MX could be a lot of thing, WS=website. But havenot regged.

Where do you get this info? Sorry if the question is supremely n00b, but I have no idea.

Many places and techniques. You could use this one for now

True pronouncables are long gone and quite expensive. The crowd is chasing what i call semi-pronouncables - anything with a vowel somewhere, in my cynical opinion. But sales numbers do favor pronouncables, real ones anyway.

The other major factors are acronyms and letter quality. Acronyms are valuable to the users of the acronym, but beware of trademarks. Also beware of well used acronyms with no sales value. So often I find a "popular" acronym that turns out to mean a complex protean in organic chemistry, or something like that. Yes there are a lot of searches on the term, but nobody is going to buy the domain name.

Letter quality means how often the letters occur in the names people buy. The most popular are S, A,and C. The least popular are Q, X, and Z. A LLLL.com with only S, A and C would be quite valuable, because many many acronyms would use those letters. It is unlikely that you will find a LLLL.com available to register that does not have at least one J,Q,U,V,X,Y, or Z. Domains with K and W recently became unavailable.

At the present rate LLLL.coms will become unavailable to register in about a year, so you should keep renewal costs in mind. And remember that domaining is addictive and there is no known cure.

Pronouncablility and re-spellability.

I have actually invested in a few LLLL.com's and plan to keep them for about 10 years to see what happens

It means that if I tell it to you out loud, you could type it into your browser without asking for it to be spelled.

Just picked up VPez.com, which I would consider pronounceable, but others might not.
