| IMO, a Premium Domain i a dictionary word, that is well known and well used. Also good keywords with a high OVT, could be a Premium Domain. But I agree with scabies, that many sellers overuse the term Premium Domain Now regarding the domainlist you gave, I would say non is Premium Domains, it doesnt firm my own rule for a Premium Domain. GasTanks. mobi would have been close to a Premium Domain, if it had been a .com, but the .mobi ruins it. Good luck and best regards,

  | Premium is a domain with type-in capabilities. This can be either a dictionary word as testingyou said before or a common used phrase Premium for LLL.com or LLLL.com domains are for the domains that contain premium characters

| A premium domain is, as many has said allready, a subjective term. It really depends on who's saying it. However all the major auctioning houses like sedo.com, premiumdomains.com moniker etc. normally has a category for what they themselves think is a premium domain name and aso separate auctions featuring these domains. Normally you can apply to have domains listed in this category free of charge and on a pr. domain basis, and if your name is accepted it will receive more extensive marketing and be listed in separate "premium" name lists etc. What you can do is submit your list to premiumdomain.com (pls notice it is without a "s" on the end.) They should have a free service at least for a time now, where they will come back to you within a couple of days telling you the "score" your submitted domains achieved in their evaluation and if any of them qualified as "premium" in their opinion. (I think it has to score more than 400 to be qualifid but not 100% sure. I think you can find info on the criteriaon their pages as well) At least this gives you the opinion of some professionals on your domains, but it will only tell you the "score" and premium yes/no so this is not an apraisal pr.see, but nice to know anyhow  ????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/471974-premium-domains-what-does-that-mean.html Best of luck, Per. Edited: I found the link to premiumdomain.com's definition of a premium domain: http://www.premiumdomain.com/whatisit/ And their score scale ranges from 1-1000, with 1000 being the top end were such names as sex.com ends up. You can also se examples and lists of what they have qualified as premium so could give some ideas.
